I highlighted AOC (the rest of "The Squad" has loans too) because she's being quite vocal about upping the amount more at the moment. Can you say, quid pro quo?

My bad if this had already been answered but what's the quid pro quo going on here? Congress had no role in this right? I thought this was purely an executive order by Biden.

We know why he did this. It's important to a certain portion of his progressive voters. These aren't the type of voters who are likely to vote Republican but they are the ones who may stay home during midterms if they aren't happy. We see Biden's poll numbers, he needs them engaged and happy.

As far as the E.O. itself there's a decent/good chance it increases inflation and the act itself will do nothing to bring down college costs. In fact it's likely to increase it. But again, this is a move made about getting certain portions of the base engaged for the midterms (and Biden himself to garner support for his re-election).

Maybe you can tell us why millionaires like Jared Kushner's family, Tom Brady, Kanye West, Khloe Kardashian, Reese Witherspoon and others got millions in PPP loans intended for small businesses, then had their loans forgiven.

Because they could, just like some kid whose parents make a quarter-million a year gets a student loan to attend Harvard Law School...

So, the White House and Joke administration say one thing, while virtually every analysis by independent groups across the political spectrum say exactly the opposite. Joke is a fucking liar.

True.

But those that have honor should exclude themselves from any direct, financial benefit they gain from said vote (outside of general, taxation rate changes).

Especially if they are one time bonuses...like this is.

Indeed.

The S.C. will decide whether this is legal or not.

AOC created a corporation that owed an additional $1,618 when it was dissolved. Corporations associated with trump have owed over a BILLION dollars when dissolved.

Hmmm... Is this something you really want to bring up?
