Still No Answer to the Question: Who Pays for Loan Forgiveness?

It has been more than a week, and there is still no coherent answer out of the Biden administration to the question of who will pay for student loan forgiveness, which may cost Americans anywhere between $300–500 billion by the time it’s all done. For background, the White House announced, on Aug. 24, 2022, that…


Why College Prices Have Spiraled

Commentary With the Biden administration’s announcement this week that it would continue the moratorium on student loan payments through the beginning of next year and will forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt per student, student loan forgiveness is at the top of the current political agenda. Meanwhile, there’s little talk about bringing the cost of…


Government the Problem, Not Solution, on College Costs

Commentary No sooner had President Joe Biden announced his plan for student loan debt forgiveness—$10,000 for non-Pell grant recipients and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients—the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was complaining that it should be more than twice as much.

‘Black Swan’ Author Says Colleges—Not Taxpayers—Should Pay for Biden’s Student Loan Wipeout

Economist Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the bestselling book “The Black Swan” that deals with the extreme impact of rare events, has criticized President Joe Biden’s student loan debt forgiveness plan.

America’s Pandemic Dictatorship

Commentary With the stroke of a pen, President Joe Biden established a new plan that strongly resembles legislation.

COVID Invoked for More Redistribution From Workers to Doctors and Lawyers

Commentary And it’s gone! We are referring to the $300 billion of taxpayer funds that will go down the tubes at the stroke of Joe Biden’s pen upon his impending cancellation of $10,000 of student debt. And in the case of married couples, that covers households with incomes up to $250,000! The legal claim to…


Biden’s Student Loan ‘Forgiveness’ Is an Unjust, Cynical Abuse of Power

Commentary “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” That’s what it says right there in the Constitution. And yet, without any legislation, President Joe Biden now promises to “cancel” up to $10,000 in student loans per borrower ($20,000 for Pell Grant borrowers), limited to those with…


Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Among the Greatest Partisan Rip-Offs of All Time

Commentary Remember 1773’s Boston Tea Party and “taxation without representation” that led to the American Revolution and our ultimate separation from Britain? I imagine you do, but perhaps not if you are one of our younger readers and all you were being taught in one of our woke schools that skin color and gender identity…
