Woah there, just be glad that during the bull market, we diligently saved up as a nation and have a nice rainy-day fund for any recession. Can you imagine how much sh*t we'd be in if we gave that money away during times of prosperity to the top earners through tax breaks?

It's the same ol' crapola. The GOP runs out the clock, and blames everyone but themselves when the shiite hits the fan. Instead of a soft-landing, we crash and burn.

The latest economic disaster started last Spring -- Covid-19 only exasperates it.

So now it's socialism to be forced to give money to the government, and then get it back in dribs and drabs?

It was probably something similar. I wasn't a huge fan of those TARP bailouts. :twocents:

Oh I agree. I was merely asking a question to start a conversation. :thumb: :thumb:

I would LOVE a student loan bailout but I honor my debts and don't expect a hand out. Honestly, anyone that says they wouldn't love if a loan of theirs was suddenly forgiven is lying. If someone came to me and said they were paying off my mortgage, i'd take it in a heart beat. An extra $1.2K a month would be glorious.
