It is all politicians do

They pass inflation bills that don't address inflation

They spend an extra $2 trillion or so to fight Covid but stop for some unknown reason as they then pass a bill for another $1.7 trillion to give students going to Harvard and Yale free student loans and then say they reduced deficit spending.

They implement climate regulations that will do next to nothing about carbon emissions and they drive around in SUV's and live in a myriad of mansions around the world they heat and cool.

They forgive student debt for students going to Yale and Harvard to address a failing economy but ignore the fact that 1 in 6 people can't afford to heat and cool their homes.

They pretend to care about blacks while ignoring the black plight of crime and violence and poverty in the inner cities. Where is their $10,000?

They pretend to care about women when they ignore men who become women dominate all of their sports.

Essentially these people have no soul, as their children get million dollar jobs over seas in places like the Ukraine and China and sell paintings to oligarchs there that are sold for more than a Picasso painting.

The US has a defunct political system that is propped up by propaganda and any remaining cult members in their camp.

China owns all of them anyway.

Harvard Law professor mocked after thanking Biden for student loan forgiveness, which critics are calling an Ivy League 'bailout'

Professor Laurence Tribe told MarketWatch that the grads who stand to get debt relief 'very much need it,' as law students often graduate with sizable debt

Do Harvard-trained lawyers deserve to have any portion of their student loans canceled under the Biden administration’s new debt-relief plan?

That’s the question some are asking in light of a tweet from Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe, in which he expressed gratitude for President Joe Biden’s newly announced student-loan debt-relief package. The plan calls for canceling $10,000 of federal loan debt for those earning up to $125,000, and up to $20,000 for Pell grant recipients.

“Good news for thousands of my former students. I’m grateful on their behalf, Mr. President,” Tribe wrote on Twitter TWTR, -1.39%.
But Tribe was immediately challenged on social media by some who suggested Harvard students weren’t in need of the federal assistance. And the term “bailout” was often been used by critics of Biden’s plan, particularly in reference to those who attended elite Ivy League schools like Harvard. And the discussion helped lead “Harvard” to trend on Twitter on Thursday.
Tribe defended his remarks in a brief interview with MarketWatch. “The main thing I’d say is the vast majority of people who (stand to) get relief are people who very much need it,” he said.
The Harvard law professor emeritus also asserted that “there’s no doubt that President Biden had legal authority” to establish the debt-relief plan. Already, there has been discussion of legal challenges to Biden’s plan.

One thing is clear in any case: Harvard Law students do often graduate with a sizable amount of debt, which is perhaps no surprise given that the school’s tuition tops $70,000 a year.

Officials with the Ivy League school didn’t immediately respond to a MarketWatch request for information, but a study by Credible, a website that provides information on loan rates, found that the median debt load of a Harvard Law student was $133,617.

Of course, a Harvard Law graduate can easily earn an impressive salary — Credible said the median income of those who attended was $158,200. Which means anyone earning that figure wouldn’t qualify for the debt relief under the Biden plan, which has the income cap of $125,000.

But if a Harvard Law graduate chose to practice in the public sector, which is much less lucrative, then they might indeed be eligible for debt relief, provided they took out a federal student loan as opposed to a private one. For example, the average salary of a public defender in New York City is $67,966, according to Salary.com.
