Your husband's an idiot!

Why are Democrats upset that they cannot discriminate against Asians in college admissions? Because white liberal women feel as though black people are too stupid to advance on their own, and, therefore, need special privileges. Democrats feel Asians are not a minority because they're "too smart" to be a minority. Democrats feel Hispanics are not a minority because they have begun to vote more Republican. It's absolutely sickening!

Democrats are the most racist people I have ever met. And, history proves they always have been. The Democratic Party formed to protect slavery. Democrats started the Civil War. Democrats enacted poll taxes against black people. Democrats enacted Jim Crow laws. Democrats put Japanese-Americans in internment camps. Democrats fought against desegregating schools. Democrats support discriminating against Asian-Americans. Democrats signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, after years of thwarting it, because "we'll have those n-word voting Democrat for 200 years". Democrats revived the KKK. Need I go on?

Do you know who have a problem with ending the systemic racism against Asian-Americans in the college admission process? Black supremacists. White-Liberal black supremacists...

But at least those businesses can stay open and continue to hire people to work who need to pay back their loans.

PPP was part of CARES Act approved by US Congress and signed into law by Trump

College debt forgiveness was something Biden pulled out of his butt without asking Congress

There is a difference between NO interest or very low interest loans to not paying the entire loan back. If I lend you 10k and get no interest is nowhere near as bad of not paying me back the entire 10k. You expect me to lend again?

If the govt wanted to level the playing field and make college more affordable it could tie restrictions to schools that take students with Fed loans like they did to insurers with ACA.

Mandate that 80 percent of tuition has to be spent on direct instruction as was mandated in ACA that 80 percent of premium had to pay for care.

No more defacto subsidies for sports stadiums and lavish Presidential.salaries.

Mandate on line courses explaining interest rate and cost of college. Tie interest rates to students grades and major and offer cheaper rates for community colleges and trade schools so students can see there are other options than what their high school guidance counselor was steering them to. Remember High schools get ranked by percentage of graduates going to a 4 year college so this is where they steer their students to

If Biden is smart he will run on the judiciary.

Trump bought the evangelical vote with judges and overturning Roe.

Time for Joe to learn from Trump.

Want to cut future student debt? There is a simple solution. You can have all core classes done with less than 70 college hours and yet it takes 124 college hours for a BA. Why should students be forced and have to pay for 50 hours of electives to get their degree. Almost everyone with a degree can point out worthless classes they were forced to take to get enough hours. I could point out several that I took just to get the required hours. I spent most of two semesters just taking electives.

This is like a car loan. It's a nice trade if you are doing to get higher wages until you retired. The average student loan debt is 18k in my state. You signed for it. You used the money. Pay it back.

The loan it self morphed into a weird monster. I tried once to understand the concept of interest compounding and why years later only about 20% of students have 100 percent of their loans paid off. Many are set up on a 20 yr repayment plan and you end up paying interest and never get to the principal. Like a credit card. Too many hands on the same paper too. They are sold and there’s fees.
One thing I don’t agree with, is that you cannot easily add it to your bankruptcy. It’s not the best option, but unexpected things do happen. If you going to have relief in your finances, they should not be excluded.
