Median income in my city is about 1/4 of that. If you make 100k and are not loaded after a couple years then you doing something wrong, probably need to reevaluate where you live. No one entitled to live in high cost of living cities.

With cost of living varying wildly across a large and diverse nation, so does the living standard that a certain income provides. If you're making $100k and live in North Dakota or Alabama, you're indeed loaded. If you're making $100k and live in San Francisco, you're barely above the poverty line because you're spending $40k of your after tax income on rent alone.

It's all relative. $100K isn't much in the grand scheme and certainly should qualify for the $10K as it does. I think it should be higher than $125K really.

what's hilarious is I told all my friends last January to get on this student loan program because they were going to be forgiven and I was met with so much backlash. Today I had like 15 people unfriend me on Facebook over it. :rollseyes: it's like the folks who were born privileged don't want folks who were born into poverty to have anything nice in the world.

Are you just pretending to be a dumbass or is this unironically your best foot forward? 🤔

facts hurt huh?

indeed, but this is not status quo. this is a massive event. We saw websites crash in the wake of the announcement. a move (unilaterally extinguishing at least a portion of debt across all student load holders) that will be challenged in courts. it’s a grey area at best since Congress has this authority, not the Exec branch. it’ll need govt muscle

of course, Congress has ceded a great deal of its legislative responsibility to the Judiciary and Executive over the past few decades, so who knows.

100% this. when the legislature cant even be trusted to complete a budget plan i take both their cheers and jeers with little weight.

my Wisconsin state senate is now taking its 2nd 9 month break from legislation since Evers took office. since 2019 the republican senate (21 to 12 majority) has taken 18 months off due to veto power of the democratic governor. no bipartisan attempts, no veto proof compromises, just paid vacation.
