Reality Protester posted:remember when democrats blocked trump's wall funding, forcing him to declare an emergency, which they then canceled? democrats decided to fund the wall in 2019 in exchange for Henry Cuellar getting his pet project approved lol quote:Livas of the No Border Wall movement fears that the idea is to trade off the beautification project in downtown Laredo for a border wall throughout the Rio Grande Valley. “We’ve heard from people in the Valley, the federal government needs the local officials to do a compromise,” he says. “Do the wall in this area and we’ll do this project.”

Willa Rogers posted:me, a wise biden toady: "acshully, it's rich people who take out student loans" its not rich people taking it out, but the debt forgiveness being focused on public loans really does mean it would go almost entirely to high income high debt people who went to grad schools. for undergrads, the public loans are capped at 57k over 4 years (going off memory here). but grad loans are infinite and uncapped post 07, and those same loans are eligible for ibr, paye and repaye so public loan debt forgiveness, especially anything that isnt total, doesnt help all the post 07 borrowers like the kentucky public defender who just got 250k forgiven by pslf - she just would have had 200k forgiven if biden forgave 50 first. same with everyone else not getting pslf with their 6 figure debt -it didn't matter to them whether it was 100 , 300, or 500k of debt, they pay the $400/mo based on their salary. so forgiving 10, 50k just doesn't help them who it does help is the biglaw people, dentists, doctors who are pulling down 200k a year instead of 50k, and now instead of repaying 200k they only repay 150k. it's impossible to tell if the push for the 10/50 is by people who know this. i'm pretty sure it is. mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 19:05 on Apr 14, 2021 |

The notion that in the US you need to take huge loans so as to educate yourselves is ludicrous as it is. You don't have to add qualifiers concerning student debt forgiveness too. Get rid of it. All of it. As a matter of principle.

mastershakeman posted:its probably because they can't express themselves clearly but recognize a one time forgiveness (i.e. a covid relief check that comes once and once only) is a bad plan and the usa needs to do a big bill that makes all public schools free going forward, all current loans forgiven, and all past payments for student loans paid back (there's records on this). maybe even pay back what people paid to the public schools in the first place. thankfully, since college costs inflated so much , paying back people who graduated decades ago won't cost much, especially if you just give the nominal value I forget this also screws over people who didn't go to college due to the cost, not sure how you can adjust for that. Probably can't. Maybe give everyone who didn't have loans 4 years worth of the public tuition at the flagship school in their state when they were 1in

my bony fealty posted:shouting into the void here but it's so funny when senate democrats, the only people on the planet with the power to determine to fate of Joe biden's ostensible agenda, do poo poo like this when it's clear to anyone with two functioning brain cells that the senate dems could just like threaten to not move forward any Biden bill until he cancels student loan debt A lot of stuff is explained by the realization that liberals view being a politician as just a profession. To them, the idea of threatening to withhold a vote is basically like a lawyer threatening to set their office's records on fire if they don't take a particular case. It's seen as a bizarre thing that obviously isn't how people in the profession should behave.

I think they fundamentally don't understand what politicians actually are. The actual vote for legislation is the least of what their job should entail. They should be avatars for popular movements, like Trump is, or like what Bernie was and then hosed over.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:To be fair, it is pretty impossible to do reparations for race-based chattel slavery without using race. The chattel slavery wasn't race-based though. And if you are omitting current living decedents of slavery based on "race", you are just a racist, but "woke." Ultimately reparations are about an official acknowledgement of slavery, combined with a great equalization of wealth to those families that were both enslaved and also those who were ground up by the same system even if they themselves weren't slaves. The rhetorical trick that comfortable black and white politicians do is take the acknowledgement part and emphasize it over the redistributive part, and then use racism to pit the victims of slavery against each other as if only a nebulous subset of slave descendants are the only ones "worthy" of reparations.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:i dont trust any current politician to use reparations as anything other then an excuse for why better things arent possible. At best reparations is just means testing, but woke (and inevitably racist as gently caress). My opinion on monetary racial reparations has changed some over time. Even ignoring the whole "determining who is black" issue, my problem with monetary reparations is that it's completely pointless to split up monetary/material reparations by race (or any other demographic other than wealth itself). When it comes to something like wealth, you can very easily see the net sum influence of a person's various privileges/disadvantages just by looking at their wealth/assets. A black person will have less wealth than a white person all other things equal, but a wealthy black person obviously had that disadvantage offset by other good fortune (and a poor white person had their racial advantages offset by other poor fortune). There's no reason not to just give monetary reparations to all poor people. The idea of racial monetary reparations essentially implies that, outside of racial discrepancies, wealth distribution is mostly fair. It's technically better than nothing (since at least you're giving something to a bunch of people), but it's not the way such a thing should be done. Put another way, it's a pointless (at best) exercise trying to determine who "deserves" their wealth/assets, because the answer is "no one does - everyone should be equally provided for." Nix Panicus posted:Idiots still believe there are good republicans out there. The amusing thing is that the people these people think might be "good Republicans" are unquestionably worse than the Republicans they consider "deplorables." Like, if you had to pick between some random upper-middle class Never-Trumper and poor/working class "white trash," the latter is unquestionably preferable. The latter often don't have any sort of actual commitment to Republican ideas/policies and are acting solely based off of a cultural dislike of liberals.
