YAY! We now have to pay off all the loans of everyone who went to ITT Tech!

Of course, the professors who agreed to sign off on useless degrees here while they waited on tenure track jobs won't have to pay anything back though. That would be unfair to them!

Motherfuckers.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Will people who paid off their debt get their money back?

Only billionaires should get money from the government!

These people were the victims of fraud.

OP is one of the anti-trans trolls trying to stir up shit. His English is so bad in the thread about the Chinese woman arrested for wearing a kimono that you can barely understand him.

Hopefully family members of those dead from cancer will get reparations when they discover a cure. That’s bullshit if they don’t.

I’m completely anti-trans and support this, R6.

Shit, I posted r6 in the wrong thread. Sorry OP! I have (probably) unfairly maligned you!

OP would rather give tax breaks to billionaires and spend money on useless "audits" to determine that Trump did indeed lose the election. And don't forget the $250 million spent on that useless recall election in California

If you aren't making $400,000 a year then your taxes won't go up, genius

r11 My grocery bill begs to differ.

[quote]This is such great news because I was just thinking this morning how I really don't pay enough in taxes!

Bitch I can guarantee you do not pay taxes in the United States.

r5 And yet none of the professors have ever been held accountable. Curious.

But when yer holler floods you want FEMA to take care of you, right?

Just cancel my timeshare for me, will you, Joe?

The top 10 percent of earners bear responsibility for over 71 percent of all income taxes paid and the top 25 percent pay 87 percent of all income taxes.

The bottom 50% of income earners pay less than 3% of all tax revenue and the 50-75 percentile pay about 10%.

So unless, you are a high income earner, the impact of this measly (compared to the total budget) $3.5B will utilize an insignificant portion of the dollars you have contributed to the federal budget. And, as someone has already noted, unless your income is in excess of $400k, your taxes are not going up. So this has zero implications for you.

And the price of groceries also has nothing to do with this (R11).

r17 Inflation is a tax on savings.

r17 All I know is I make a lot less than the college professors who taught at ITT Tech, but somehow none of them need to give back any of the money they made. Sounds fair.

r7 Did they find a cure for student loans? Or is the cure just forcing other people to pay them?

No reparations for cancer victims.

R12, that's businesses raising prices, genius. That's corporate greed

R20, if you're not rich then your taxes aren't going up

I guess you'd rather pay for vouchers for kids to go to private religious schools that kick students out for being gay

I guess you'd rather pay for bullshit audits to affirm for the 800th time that Trump lost the election

I guess you'd rather pay for a police force just to investigate the extremely rare crime of voter fraud

First ONLY those who took federal loans are having their debt cancelled.

Second the students who attended ITT who graduated received pretty worthless degrees, many didn't graduate and were never going to be able to repay those loans so the government was never going to get paid, so instead of ruining the credit of people already in a rough financial situation the government just decided to do the right thing since they stood little chance of ever getting paid back.

Third OP is a really disgusting low life or an idiot. I guess it could be both.

r25 How are degrees from ITT Tech worthless but the 1,200,000 liberal arts degrees every year that cost on average $112,000 considered totally fine? I'd rather hire someone who studied a real subject at ITT Tech than someone who studied with this professor at a "real school".

IDK maybe you should ask Marketwatch.

Duped into paying for worthless degrees, these former for-profit college students could get their money back

BTW R26 ^^^^ this was during the Trump administration.

Don't cancel any debt for Trump University tuition.
