Biden wants to shut down the oil industry. Here is a PARTIAL list of things he'll need to figure out how to make without oil.
All plastic is made from petroleum and plastic is used almost everywhere: in cars, houses, toys, computers and clothing. Asphalt used in road construction is a petroleum product as is the synthetic rubber in the tires. Paraffin wax comes from petroleum, as do fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, detergents, phonograph records, photographic film, furniture, packaging materials, surfboards, paints, and artificial fibers used in clothing, upholstery, and carpet backing.

Ha! Under the O'Biden regime, the prices of all that stuff is now unaffordable anyway, so everyone's usage of oil and gas will plummet, as no one can afford to buy anything. Now, excuse me while I start living slovenly so I can encourage bugs to come to my house, so I have something to eat. |

and there it is.... https://apnews.com/article/student-l...source=Twitter Now on hold through August. Anyone that didn't see this coming isn't paying attention. Just wait for the midterm campaigns. "Vote Democrat, or you will have to pay your bills soon!" They will convince the idiots to give them two more years to cancel the debt, and they will fall for it. |

I just read another pause in payments... They're still pushing for wiping a bunch of debt out for student loans and yes will use it for elections if they succeed. Asinine we should pay for anyone's student loans. Nobody forced them to get the loans nor was it a dire situation.

I think the original crime was allowing the government to back student loans. Lending six figures to the average 18 to 20 something year old, was bound to be a liability of innocent taxpayers.

Student loans need be VERY strictly limited to the study of>>>>>
Hard Science, Engineering, Business/fin/econ/mktg.......ALL else is a basically useless degree in HOBBY material, better off studied as such..... |

I don't care what they study but there should be a cap and even mandatory class before approved so people understand the consequences as most young people do not.

You mean forgiving $100K of student debt to turn out baristas isn't beneficial for a country? |

If the Lenders were allowed to suffer a loss, they would be.
