Biden reportedly set to announce student loan forgiveness plan that would cost taxpayers billions.

@FreeSpirit1 Eh, better spending that money bailing our corporations right? Socialism for me, not for thee

@Elessar huh? I don't want tax money bailing anyone out, not corporations and not people who can't pay back loans.

@FreeSpirit1 Then how comes I don't recall any of you being as outraged at Trump when he bailed out corporations and individuals with 7x as much as the expenditure suggested in this post?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CARES_Act - remember?

Socialism for the rich, basically

@Elessar any of who? Do you think you know me or something? What are you talking about Trump for?

@FreeSpirit1 Any of you being critical towards this measure.

I don't really need to nor I even care to, I'm merely discussing and comparing two different "handouts" and respective criticism.

It seems appropriate to me comparing a (alleged) 0.3 trillion expenditure to a much greater 2.2 trillions one (7-fold), that unlike the former, hasn't received any criticism whatsoever from a certain area of the political spectrum, just because it was signed by their cult-master.

@Elessar And you are under the impression I'm in favor of bailouts that happened when trump was president ?
I'm against bailing out private companies with tax money regardless of who the president is.

@FreeSpirit1 Yet how comes none of you who are so numerous here said anything at the time?

@Elessar you keep saying " you". Who are you talking about? My opinions are my own. I am a libertarian and if a company fails then it fails, no tax money should be given to it to survive. The free market works best when the government stays out of it. And that goes for forgiving loans to college graduates who can't pay the loan back.

@FreeSpirit1 I've already explained who, there's no point in going in circles in order to avoid answering the question. Just search "CARES act", "Trump bailout", "2.2 trillions", "2200 billions" using the search bar above and see how many posts you find by you and people sharing your stance on this very post criticizing the measure. Basically none.

It's almost like y'all stop believing in "free market" when the money is handed out by the Republican party.

@Elessar 🤷‍♀️ Are you just being a troll? Can you not understand what I said about bailouts? Are you just arguing with yourself?

@FreeSpirit1 Ad hominem and strawmaning ain't really work in covering the attempt at answering the question.

If you're against all handouts as you say, how comes you weren't as vocal about the 7-fold one signed by Trump?

Besides, expecting coherence isn't "trolling" in my book.

@Elessar go find a post of me praising bailouts..... I'll wait.

@FreeSpirit1 I can find one in which you complain about a $0.3T bailout signed by Biden (this one), and zero about the $2.2T (7x) signed by Trump...

@Elessar 🤦‍♀️

@Elessar Trump gave us a super strong economy with extremely low inflation and energy independence. In fact we were energy exporters. The tax cuts (they're not bailouts) were a key part of this. The Wuhan virus put the whole world's economy in jeopardy.

@irishmolly72 Drink less Republican koolaid

@Elessar The Biden numbers are conspicuously absent. 🤪

@irishmolly72 Feel free to provide them, they're public domain.

Besides, they're irrelevant to the point. You were saying the economy was thriving under Trump, which doesn't match reality.

@Elessar Figures don't lie.....but liars figure

@sunsporter1649 Right, and if you torture data long enough, it will confess to anything!

@irishmolly72 There's nothing bro torture here, you state that Trump's economy was the best, I pointed out that the biggest GDP drop, the biggest employment drop and the highest spike of public debt growth all happened during his term

@Elessar Conveniently forgetting the demonocrats shutting down their states again. Why is nobody surprised. Any more bullschiff you want to shovel?

@sunsporter1649 Conveniently my a$s, I couldn't care less about Biden. I'm not comparing the two, I'm calling out the BS about a false merit of Trump

@Elessar sippy cup had nothing to do with it, just idiot demonocrat governors and mayors shutting down their economies
