This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

my problem with the current loan forgiveness by jt
is that it does nothing to address the problems that led us down this path.
What are we going to do about subsidized loans, for example? The government getting involved in the student loan business is what started things down this path, as far as I'm concerned. Sure there are a variety of other factors, but this is a problem that was created with good intentions and was taken advantage of by greedy colleges and Universities.
so yeah, it's just more free shit to buy votes. Is it any different than the example you cite? Perhaps not, but who cares? What sort of rationale is that?
