The Real timschochet 6,765 Posted October 4, 2023 2 minutes ago, Reality said: You understand that this would be a 'new' expenditure, correct? It’s redirected funds. But even if you’re right, using the debt is still an absurd argument. It’s as if your kid asked you for a dime for his piggy bank and you said “sorry I have to pay this $20,000 mortgage for the next 30 years, THEN I can give you that dime.” The numbers involved in our annual deficit and total debt are so vast that arguing over this expenditure, for that reason, is totally irrelevant. In any case I think it will end up adding to revenue, more so than a.tax cut does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In two threads you have dismissed my arguments and called me dumb. But you’re not providing any kind of rebuttal. If you want to discuss this further I’m game. But if you simply want to be insulting then we’ll leave it at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your analogy is dumb because the parent didn't borrow money to pay for the dime he put in the piggy bank. The government doesn't have the dime that they will be putting in the student loan piggy bank. Your analogy was very stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
