Canceling student loans
PetermansRedemption replied to shoshin's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This seems like comparing apples and oranges to me. Eliminating all student debt right now hurts far more people than it helps. It isn’t like social security where there is a benefit now and in the future. A true comparison would be if the social security system gave money only to retirees retiring during that year it was enacted. That’s why student loan forgiveness is fine, but it has to accompany something that will actually fix the overall problem. Even if it were eliminate all student loan debt and make college free for everyone, that fixes the problem. Especially since the government could then control costs as the single payer. Not saying that’s the way it should go, but simply eliminating all student loan debt does absolutely nothing to abate the problem long term. -

I’ve been saying for years I think it would be the biggest stimulus in history. Putting aside the morality of it, it would cause a massive spending boon and a humongous influx of suddenly disposable income. -

No, that wouldn’t be part of loan forgiveness. As far as I know, the government can’t make private companies forego their loans. Only federally held student loans would be forgiven under any likely congressional plan. This is precisely why, IMO, student loan forgiveness isn’t the “miracle pill” that it’s made out to be. It’s more of a bandaid solution than a true solution. If it accompanies far reaching changes in the education system then it would be far more logical. But you will just be in this same situation in another 30 years, likely a worse situation. All this will do is ensure the cost of college continues to rise at an exorbitant rate. -

They would have to adapt, but they would be fine. They have many loans they are currently servicing. Each of those are paying them a decent bit of interest. Plus, it seems they have at least somewhat saw the writing in the wall. They have constantly been diversifying away from student loans. -

IMO this all hinges on wether the Democrats can take the Senate or not. If they can, it’s at least possible. If the Republicans can maintain the Senate majority any cancelling of student loan debt is dead on arrival. Next month will be huge. -
Absolutely, I said this once he announced he was leaving school. Guy could have easily been drafted if he returned to UB for a final year and performed. He had far more to lose by declaring for the NFL draft than staying in school. If he stayed in school and got injured he would have been an UDFA, which is what happened anyways. If he ended up playing well he easily would have been drafted, possibly as high as the 3rd round IMO. Definitely a different scenario for a potential 1st rounder (high first rounder in Josh’s case). If Tyree were being discussed as a first rounder he absolutely should have declared. In his case he had far more to gain by returning to school.

Daryl Worley signed by Raiders off Bills PS

Good bye, guy was horrendous in the Arizona game. No point in having depth when the depth plays as a turnstile. -

Week 13 TNF: Dallas at Baltimore

Every single time I watch Lamar live I come away extremely underwhelmed. Misses simple throws with regularity. Just doesn’t do many QB things well. -

Just looked at the Ravens upcoming schedule. Could they have asked for anything better? Their final 3 games are Jaguars, Giants, Bengals -

Line Shift in SF Game: Bills now Underdogs
PetermansRedemption replied to Casey D's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In reality they probably cleaned house today. Probably a lot of money was on Pitt today that they now get to keep. -

PetermansRedemption replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But Pittsburgh didn’t trust their kicker from 45 before. So they need a TD or a good chunk of yards to make it a chip shot. -

No PI on that? Generally when someone makes a one handed catch it is because his other hand was impeded. Anyone else recording the Bills game to watch the conclusion of this one? -

This angle is quite over blown IMO. It’s a week to week league, their past week has next to no bearing on what is going to happen next week. These are professional athletes. They don’t suddenly play better because they lost the previous week. Plus, with the Steelers, I think they are a product of their cupcake schedule. They are a decent team, but they are not phenomenal by any stretch.
