- Using this logic—once one is 'educated' they're no longer 'stupid'—therefor they're capable of paying back a loan at a low rate (if not 0%) over time... yes?PonyBoy
- Education doesn’t fix stupidGnash
- ponyboy, are you as adamant about the 600 billion of paycheck protection employees never received that was forgiven? gnash, you are your own point.imbecile
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯imbecile
- an education loan that a person signed for and knew what they were getting into has nothing to do w/the ppp... 'educate' yourself, imby (see what i did there?!)PonyBoy
- Uhhhh how do you think PPP loans were granted? Magic? Biz owners signed up for a loan. How is this different********
- also there was so much fraud. The agency I worked for got a fat PPP loan then laid off 50% of workers and paid tiny severances in exchange to not get sued!********
- The GOP has been systematically dismantling public education for about 2 generations now. How else do you think they were able to create the MAGATs?garbage
- The under-educated are easier to rule with impunity. They've built their collective monster.garbage
- forgive my lack of explanation... loan forgiveness is dumb in general. Comparing ppp to ed loans is apples to oranges. Businesses have forms of collateral...PonyBoy
- ... to back their risk. Students usually do not. If you weren't paying attention I was being facetious from the outset in regards to the meme. <3PonyBoy
- I really feel that the SCHOOLS should have some skin in the game as far as returning money to students... not 'you and I' as average tax payers.PonyBoy
- Ah ok. But still. Those businesses have collateral? That’s not how PPP worked. And in the end they got it forgiven, so....
Collateral??******** - I didn't say ppp were backed w/collateral... lol. I was comparing student loans to biz loans - student loans are never collateralized...PonyBoy
- ... whereas biz loans often are...
They are different beasts.PonyBoy - Most banks won't enter into biz loans without tax statements, financial docs, at times a biz plan... they even want to know how you are going to spend it.PonyBoy
- looks like banks might start looking much closer at your chosen Major... https://on.mktw.net/…
could be a good thing... almost like an approved biz plan?PonyBoy - Funny how some rich European countries can send their young to university for almost free.Chimp
- Americans can send their kids to foreign countries for very cheap and choose instead to put themselves into endless debt. They don’t teach that in schools! Ha********
- I think I’m gonna benefit from this. Barely squeaked in too.monospaced
