    I’d argue that it won’t affect inflation in anything but the most marginal way, these loans have been frozen for two years it’s not giving anyone extra money.

    and the fucking money has already been appropriated! like 15 years ago when people got MBAs because there were no fucking jobs! no one cried about it then, when it was earmarked for the “servicer’s” profit!

    Inflation is when not-rich people get their money back from the government. Good economy is when rich people collect poor peoples' money so money is scarcer

    recovery is when rich people get colossal handouts from the government. like trillions.

    also the more I think about it the more I’m salty about the meta-means test of the Pell grant.

    Because socialism is for corporations and the wealthy. Everyone else needs to bootstrap harder.

    If I didn't get the distinct feeling he thinks weed is bad I would start to talk myself into that he was going to save marijuana legalization for '24.

    The one consistent thing in Biden’s career is that he shifts whichever way the Democrat wind blows. If it becomes an issue, he’ll go for it.

    Wouldn’t that poll be more likely based on prices coming down and the recent leg win than student debt relief? Loan forgiveness is probably too recent.

    Point stands though. Not killing the environment is good for people.

    Have to assume this is mostly tied to low unemployment and lower gas prices. But the big legislative win was huge too, imo.

    I think there is a pendulum effect as well. The last year has been nonstop negativity since the Afghanistan withdrawal.

    Now it’s swinging back right at the same time Biden is starting to accomplish some goals and inflation is getting better under control.

    Americans are stupid and apply approval to things the president doesn't have as much control over like gas prices. It's very dumb

    the strawman is the oversimplification of explanation. Saying it has no affect on tax payers to answer republicans without further explanation is not entirely correct.

    either say "has no effect" or "doesn't affect"

    also, why are you trying to split hairs on a topic you admit you're not super entangled with in order to parse out extremely bad faith shitposting for republicans

    First of all, you are correct. There is a chance this has some inflationary pressure. That chance is small, and there doesnt seem like there's much data to support that. But lets put that aside.

    You claim it's disingenuous to say tax payers will not be effected by this (tax payers dont fund the federal gov) as if they're the only ones that will be impacted by the inflationary pressures. Non tax payers, those who receive the relief or the public in general will not. As if paying taxes is identifier of who will be effected, when it's not.

    Does that not sound like a disingenuous framing to you?

    the last estimate i saw was loan forgiveness would be like .01% inflationary over a ten year span

    so completely irrelevant

    When you pay taxes it does not go into some government bank account that is later used to pay for things.
