Biden’s capped piss-poor $10,000 Student Debt Forgiveness won’t help the People’s economy much but cumulatively results in a WHOPPER check to loan servicers like Betsy DeVos
Ways Biden’s plan dilutes Any immediate economic boost include:
1. not mandating that servicers recalculate a new lower monthly payment based on the remaining lower (post forgiveness) principal balance,
2. Mandating that credit reporting agencies eliminate all negative content on debt holders credit report related to the payment of student loans
“White House considers forgiving $10,000 in student loans per borrower
The latest plan from the White House would cap debt forgiveness to borrowers who earned less than $150,000 a year or less than $300,000 for married couples filing jointly, reports The Washington Post.
About half of the nation’s 41 million student borrowers owe less than $20,000. That means the plan would wipe out the debt for a third of borrowers and reduce by half the total debt for another 20%, according to federal data.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan think tank, estimates the debt relief could cost about $230 billion. [Washington Post]
It’s not clear when President Joe Biden will formally announce the debt forgiveness, but some advocates are frustrated after hearing the news of the $10,000 plan.
“It’s an absolute insult,” said Thomas Gokey, co-founder of the Debt Collective, a national union of debtors. [CNBC]”

The Book War is A Racket explains it perfectly.
General Smedley Butler’s frank book shows how American war efforts were animated by big-business interests.
This extraordinary argument against war by an unexpected proponent is relevant now more than ever.
War Is A Racket by Major General Smedley D. Butler was an American military hero of the first rank, the winner of two Medals of Honor,a true 'fighting marine'whose courage and patriotism could not be doubted.
Yet he came to believe that the wars in which he and his men had fought and bled and died were all pre-planned conflicts, designed not so much to defend America as to bloat the balance sheets of US banks and corporations.”
