Easy: Hard-working people who paid for their own schooling are being made to pay for other people’s useless gender studies degrees.

I got my loans for a law degree forgiven. I paid back all but $22k, which is equal to the capitalized interest. Very few people have "useless gender studies degrees." I got no covid payment pause because I had ffelp loans. Forgiveness is statutory, and part of revisions to my loan agreements.

Because who needs a masters to study music to be a professional musician?

These kind of BS degrees are half the problem. The other half is the federal governments involvement in loans through the existence of the DoE.

The loan program got infinitely more corrupt when the federal government took it over. The income based repayment programs made sure no one would ever pay off their loans during to capitalized interest. Say what you want about Sallie Mae/Navient, but I never had an issue with them over 30+ years.

Let’s forgive also mortgages!

I agree with this but people thinkt hat we are crabs in a bucket. They feel like its not fair that some get their loans forgiven when they had to pay all theirs off. Its pretty ridiculous when you think about it.

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
