Biden Cancels $1.3 Billion Of Student Loans — His Plan For Student Loan Cancellation Is Becoming Cle

Yes... we recognize the bias of think tanks. Yet the information from CRFB is rated as high. And the University of Chicago study referenced as the primary source for the FEE report is from a well-respected institution.

All of these are mainstream sources -- not disreputable blogs or social media commentators. The studies provide the information and facts in-depth. You obviously cannot dispute the facts provided by these mainstream sources.

I will note the study by the Brookings Institution which is generally considered left leaning stated the same thing -- most of the student loan forgiveness benefits go to the rich.

Student Loan Forgiveness Is Regressive Whether Measured by Income, Education, or Wealth:
Why Only Targeted Debt Relief Policies Can Reduce Injustices in Student Loans

As outlined in the Forbes article -

except you discount their bias on entitlement spending and BI's right leaning on economic policies.

FWIW: I don't discount the premise outright but wonder how they're accounting for CC & vocational loan forgiveness.
 
There is an entire list of studies and sources posted above from respected institutions which did in-depth studies -- Go read them and get back to us.


You want me to read studies hypothesizing on a program that is not even in effect yet but has made concrete conclusions.


Does Biden's plan block low income minorities from applying for loan forgiveness?

If not then this is all bullshit.
 
Borrowers will qualify for student loan forgiveness under Biden’s plan if they made less than $125,000 (or less than $250,000 if they are married) in either 2020 or 2021. All government-held federal student loans, including undergraduate, graduate, and Parent PLUS loans, are potentially eligible for relief.


Where does it say that low income minorities are excluded? Because if it does specifically exclude them that is wrong but just because a study claims it will exclude them when the requiremens dont say that, I want to know the factual basis for the claim.

(we all know studies have no factual basis, they are hypothesizations based on forecasting data....)

So you are claiming that Biden’s student loan relief program does not benefit well to-do whites more than minority college graduates despite many studies showing in great detail that is does. Yes — the studies including the CBO study were done before the program was implemented—- tell us why the studies deep in math & detail are an inaccurate representation of Biden’s program.
 
That’s right: a majority of the benefits will flow to the top half, not the struggling poor and working class. Why?

Well, for one thing, any form of student debt relief only benefits those who attended college. And that’s a relatively more affluent slice of society—that’s why people go to college, after all.

Wait... is this the genius finding? Poor kids who dont go to college dont get loan forgiveness on loans they never took out?

Is there something I am missing? Are community colleges and vocational schools excluded?

Um....where are any claims I have made sir? I have not made one claim....

I have asked for a claim to be supported with facts and so far.....

These studies cover the relief given to college graduates who are provided relief.

Stop pushing false premises

Then tell us why you are disputing the studies. The information from respected sources is very straight forward.

The relief from Biden's student loan relief program disproportional helps whites over minority college graduates.
 
The Penn Wharton Budget Model’s (PWBM) analysis, for example, suggests that about 40 to 50 percent of the benefit goes to the top half.


so a blind loan forgiveness program supports the top half by 50% and bottom half by 50%...

wow shocking...
 
The first issue is that debt cancellation requires an application, which is likely to be a more significant barrier to lower-income borrowers with fewer resources, particularly those who have long been in default or forbearance and are thus detached from the system

So because you have to apply for the loan forgiveness it discriminates against minorities.....

wow......poor people dont get mail I guess...the same poor people who attended a college and seemed to navigate college suddenly cannot fill out an application.... cannot call their financial aid office...
