Per the article, he DID identify himself.

I think he gave us that advice because from his experience it usually wouldn’t lead to that slippery slope. Maybe nine times out of ten the cops take their little victory and move on. Keep in mind though that our main goal was to be available to record police interactions with protesters, homeless, etc, instead of…

I just don’t see how this could be seen as “crumbs.” Not only does it help more than 20 million people (about 50% of those who have student debt), 90% of which make less than $75k a year, it also halves income based payments and puts in place measures to stop predatory interest rates and hold colleges accountable for…

Yeah I’m sorry, but I came out of undergrad/grad/law with $200k of student debt which then ballooned to $300k since it was the recession and I couldn’t get a law job to pay any of it; could barely pay my bills. I STILL would have been grateful to have $10k of it knocked off. Unless you’re actually rich, reducing $10k…

When Democrats do something good it’s like the media spins a wheel.

I’m a lawyer and my wife’s a doctor—10k apiece isn’t going to meaningfully change anything for us, but, usurious as our loans may be, we’re also not crippled by them like some. The people who will be significantly helped by this REALLY need the help, and I'm glad they're gonna get it.

Did everyone you know go to expensive private schools/out of state/masters programs? I’m curious because for me it’s the complete opposite, most people I know went to community college and/or local state schools, got at least some aid due to being low income, and owe less than $25k.

Oh, this is the either total idiot or (more likely) troll who pops up now and then. Feel free to ignore.

People generally don’t understand the real-world limitations of our government. They think the president can just wave a magic wand and have anything he wants at any time. Therefore, the reason he hasn’t given them 115% of what they want is because he just doesn’t want to.

I can’t see that this isn’t a help for everyone who qualifies.  All of those people are better off debt wise today than they were yesterday. What is it about human nature that makes this not a good thing?

Glad you did. Now do so without trying to convince everyone around you to do differently and stop making stupid false-equivalence arguments.

I feel for people who attempt medical school, and just can’t hack it, now they have a lot of debt but they don’t have the medical degree. 

My wife (who did not graduate college and makes in the mid-40-thousands) is going to have almost her entire debt forgiven, if FFELP loans are included (not sure what is happening with those, or if she needs to consolidate, or what). I paid off my undergrad loans but this is going to wipe out a third of my grad school…

Your attitude is exactly why Trump became president, SCOTUS became 6-3, and women are now dying because of Christian Sharia laws.

That’s how compromise works, though. Some people are disappointed. Some people are helped out a lot. Nobody gets everything of what they wanted.

Kylie often makes stupid arguments trying to dissuade people from voting for democrats. Then she acts shocked and appalled when Republicans sweep to power and do absolutely horrific things.

ok sure. I don’t really believe you’re a real person in this real situation but if you are and you actually wanted to be vaccinated you’d go do it. Iowa isn’t some special hellscape where every local CVS is packed with a seething mob of coughing covid patients and hour long lines. There’s basically zero demand for the…

I mean...I wish all of it was forgiven.

Here’s another advice: don’t get your education for virtually no added cost and then decide to make money charging your kids and grandkids out the wazoo for theirs.

Cool story. Now can you let the banks from 2008 and the businesses with their PPP loans know?
