His plan to cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for        borrowers earning up to $125,000 per year is very possibly the single        biggest transfer from poor to rich in American history.              Somewhere, Bernie Sanders is weeping.              The average college graduate earns more than $1.2 million more over a        lifetime than his or her non-college peer. The unemployment rate for        college graduates is 2.9 percent and hasn’t risen above five percent in        nearly two years, compared with an unemployment rate of 4.6 percent for        high school graduates.              Those income earners, however, will be helping to foot the bill for        their more affluent peers. Researchers at the University of Chicago        determined that President Biden’s plan will shift an estimated $192        billion in earned income to the top 20 percent of wage earners. Just        $29 billion would go to the bottom 20 percent.       The Federal Reserve estimates that across the income spectrum, President        Biden’s plan will lead to more than 31 percent of all borrowers        (approximately 12 million in total) having their entire student loan        debt eliminated; roughly $321 billion forgiven in an instant.              https://www.maciverinstitute.com/2022/08/robbing-the-poor-to-pay-the-rich/       --- SBBSecho 3.15-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 19/37 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/130 131 124/5016 129/331 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 227/114 229/111 112 113 206 317 424 426 428 470 700       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 2100 5411 5832 5853 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 319 322/0 757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 103/705 280/464 240/5832 320/219 229/426           |
