Establishment Liberal here...just want to say a few things that I agree with that are typically positions of the "other party."
I am FOR a very strong defense and economic health for "big business" and "wall street." I don't like either of those things, but I accept that they are necessary in the violent world that we live in.
I will also stand right beside (metaphorically of course) those who work to guarantee the access to shotguns and deer rifles, and I cannot imagine ever changing my mind on that. You can have my over/under 12 gauge when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
I want nuke power. I want crap tons of nuke power. I don't want to be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a nuke power plant.

Other than immigration, I agree with both Pete and SD and would like a party that prioritizes these things at the same time.
I also need equality across the board. The backtrack bullshit has to stop.

I am FOR an immediate citizenship for everyone currently in the country. I do not see any reason to admit anyone else unless they have key skills we need for the workforce.

Why do I not see a reason to allow more? I mean, I guess because I think the reasons to allow more are not very good? :dunno:
-
I am open to the idea of more immigration if someone can point out a compelling argument for me, beyond key resources for our workforce. I support it to augment our workforce where needed.
I’m cool with giving everyone currently here citizenship, because that seems like a fair and decent thing to do, and many of them are key resources for our workforce.
-
Open and free immigration exactly meets workforce demand as needed. It's not open and free citizenship. I would love to have agreements with Canada and Mexico where people can find work and immigrate just like the EU. You don't really live in a free society if most of the people within it can't leave.

Yep, agree with this. We also need them in technology.
I am also cool with providing immigration options for special humanitarian circumstances (e.g. I support what they did with Hmong in Minnesota).

Yes + free college for some degrees and in some circumstances. More spending to cover some/all childcare costs for the working indigent.

There's officially only one thing to agree with. Whatever Trump wants. I personally do not agree with that.
“RESOLVED, That the Republican National Convention will adjourn without adopting a new platform until the 2024 Republican National Convention.”

I think that the person who gets the most votes should win an election, or at least get the electors from the state they won. Also, people should get vaccinated for all of the deadly diseases out there. Not sure if that leaves any potential policy for me to agree with.

I like low taxes, support for the ag sector (which is extraordinarily socialist but extraordinarily republican at the same time), some restrictions on abortion, pro big strong military, free market capitalism in most cases (exception noted above), deregulation of business, lot of other stuff probably.

I think the point is both sides agree that no one should kidnap your child and force them to be read stories by ANYONE and if they do it should be a crime. If you need to cry about the fact that somewhere, someone might be cross dressed and reading a book to a child who is there of their own free will both sides agree that is some next level victimhood stuff.
We are all on the same page.

I’ve had catholic priests volunteer to read books when my kids were small (public school) and nobody made a stink, even though there is a reasonable chance that as a catholic priest they might be groomers.

I'd be happy with loans staying in place but at zero interest. That should be a middle ground. Also, maybe capping what a state school can charge per credit hour or something like that.

Aren't there portions of the population who could be better served by loan forgiveness? Poor families with credit card debt, medical debt or auto loans?

I wonder how much the amount forgiven actually differs from the interest amount.
-
It's not going to happen either way, so everyone can relax. I don't think Biden has executive power over this. I think he's just looking for click for midterms.
-
I completely agree that student loans should always be 0% and that there needs to be more guidelines on how much schools can charge. Students shouldn’t be paying three times as much to better themselves.

The word you're going for is parameters.
The parameters you're now crying about are exactly what he promised during his campaign. You know, the exact same promise you've spent the last two years whining about him not doing. You've trolled so much that you are reduced to disagreeing with your own previous trolling.

We're both right/wrong. I remembered him capping the amount at $10,000 in his debate with Trump. I had no idea he promised, before that, to wipe out all debt. That being said his cap at $125,000 was always there.
Worth noting it's $125,000 for an individual but $250,000 for those filling jointly.

Yeah, I’m just mad because my family doesn’t qualify. You can make over 125K and still need relief. I graduated in 2008 and have been working uphill my entire life to make a good salary, to pay off this crap. I’ll give him props tho. I’m happy he’s doing it. I just hate that he waited till midterms to do it. #commonground
-
You can make over 125K and still need relief.
no, you can't.
-
If you family is making over $250k, you don't need relief. If anything the caps should have been $75k/$150k. They also shouldn't be hard caps, though. The relief should step down to zero so people just over the line don't get penalized.
-
$125K is 89-90th percentile for individual income.
-
You can make over 125K and still need relief.
no, you can't.
Yes, you do. I hire dentists. They’re coming out with 300K+ debt in loans and make 130K starting out. Many haven’t been hired due to the shitty education they received the last 2-3 years because of the pandemic or had delayed starts because of it. Just because I make over that number now, doesn’t make up for the 5 years I had to live with my family after college to make up for it. For some reason, people base income on how they’re doing in life. I’ve fought 6 figures of debt for 15 years. Not every story is the same. 125K in your state is like earning 50K in the Midwest.

Are you intentionally ignoring the $250,000 thing or did you not know about it until 30 minutes ago?

David Brooks/David French/Russell Moore kind of conservative* here
1. The biggest threat to democracy is on the right with so many on the right distrusting elections
2. Trump should be prosecuted
3. Climate Change is a problem that should be viewed as a human rights issue, and should be addressed globally and this effort should be lead by the largest industrialized nations
4. Once here, the path to citizenship should be pretty attainable for the average person
5. It should be pretty hard to buy a gun, and military style weapons should be banned
6. Executive branch has too much power**
7. We could probably reduce military spending by 50% and still be safe against foreign powers
*meaningless word
**both sides kinda suck at that

We make over that as a family, but have plenty of student loan debt.

If you have over 100k in student loan debt 10k wasn’t going to materially change your financial trajectory.

i (obviously) agree that the caps are far too generous and i'll also add that it's a genuinely difficult problem to target people that might genuinely need public assistance because of how salaries scale with age. it's obviously obscene to cancel the debts of people in the top quintile of income, but it's less obviously offensive, but just as unnecessary to cancel debt for young graduates not currently making high salaries, but very likely to do so in the future.
i will give the administration some recognition for targeting pell grant recipients for the second 10k of relief. that's a decent, administratively easy way to at least target some of the funds towards people that at least did not come from upper middle-class and above families.

You gave an example of your dentists that have 300k plus in loans, it wouldn’t help them move the needle at all. Honestly I don’t think 10k really helps anyone move the needle.

What does a moderately busy dentist who has been in practice for approx 10 years make in JoCo? [no pressure to answer if this is a protected trade secret, just curious]
-
200K+. Probably close to $250,000. I just hear nightmare stories about their loans all the time. Now, imagine them going private practice too and what they own on that. I still hire 70 year old dentist, because they can't retire on what they've made during said time.

I was just having a conversation with someone about the kind of arbitrary nature of the breakdown. Based on my understanding of the income limits, tons of students coming out of professional school like business and law into high salary careers are going to luck into $10k for absolutely no principled reason, while people 1 or 2 years removed are completely locked out.
-

yeah. i mean, it's great that the future 1%ers that are a year or two too old to qualify are locked out, but the including those that happened to graduate at the right time effect is more universal and really dumb.

You paid for a University of Phoenix MBA? That's like the worst value degree from the worst value school

No. it was free, because I worked there. It’s credentialed too. I make mad $ now because of it.

Yes. I recruited students that were qualified

^but everyone is qualified for UPhx...it's just persuading people to give their money to a for-profit for a worthless degree...
anyway, i wish someone had recruited away the halfwit dentist i started going to...[redacted] "fixed" a filling i had no problem with in November and I've been in pain since

Get it back on track.

A U of Phx MBA might not break down many doors in corporate America, which is less of an indictment of the school itself than of the elitist gatekeepers often in that circle, but the education received itself can have great value in the workplace.
As for the loan forgiveness, the Pell Grant stipulation is a nice touch, and I agree that it won’t do much to help those truly in need. It also won’t mean much to the relatively high earners that might take advantage of it either.
My questions: where is the money coming from? And who will be footing the bill?
I don’t think it’s much more than a political ploy, but will still take part if I qualify. I have about $14 left to pay off of my own (mostly from a single semester at WSU just before covid), which I really don’t deserve forgiven.
Mrs Nicname and I have paid off ~$90k since 2020.

Jerome ain’t going let them print a lot more so it probably will come in the form of taxes

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Terrified of being wrong, ultimatum prison cell
Saturn ascends
Choose one or ten
Hang on or be humbled again
Humbled again
Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Saturn ascends, comes round again
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten
Ignorant to the damage done
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive these scarlet lettermen
Wear the grudge like a crown
Desperate to control
Unable to forgive and sinking deeper
Defining
Confining
And sinking deeper
Controlling
Defining
And we're sinking deeper
Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will and will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent
Saturn comes back around
Lifts you up like a child
or drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go
Choose to let this go
Give away the stone
Let the oceans take and trans mutate this cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and trans mutate these leaden grudges into gold
Let goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

David Brooks/David French/Russell Moore kind of conservative* here
1. The biggest threat to democracy is on the right with so many on the right distrusting elections
2. Trump should be prosecuted
3. Climate Change is a problem that should be viewed as a human rights issue, and should be addressed globally and this effort should be lead by the largest industrialized nations
4. Once here, the path to citizenship should be pretty attainable for the average person
5. It should be pretty hard to buy a gun, and military style weapons should be banned
6. Executive branch has too much power**
7. We could probably reduce military spending by 50% and still be safe against foreign powers
*meaningless word
**both sides kinda suck at that
Agree with all of it, except point 7. I am in favor of more military spending on DARPA type crap like space vehicles, drones, super fast missiles, AI, and quantum computing.
-
I used to be against most military spending. Not even the Middle East stuff for years changed my mind. The Chinese and Russians have convinced me we need to be striving to stay ahead on military tech, or they will eff around.

The money is coming from the US government, and the people footing the bill are the upper class, corporations, and the middle class with one or fewer children.

I still hire 70 year old dentist, because they can't retire on what they've made during said time.
lol.
if there's any justice in the world, the bum who has been mangling my tooth will never be able to retire

I actually find him less dislikable than the Matt Gaetz, MTG, Boebert types. He appears to have actual beliefs rather than being 100% performative.

Gaetz/MTG/Boebert is a particularly low bar ...

I think Dems and Pubs can come together for the benefit of society if Dems come down harder on crime and Pubs come down harder on guns. Seems like a no brainer that nobody on the planet that I care about would disagree with. Obviously I've left every single detail of what hard on crimes and guns is but I'm a big picture guy folks.

We should just get rid of guns and crime.

what does "tough on crime" look like? smashing our own incarceration rate records?
-
It’s a pickle. #blueanon loves their boy, Pedo Pete noted multi decade racist and godfather of incarceration nation.
While fully supporting soft on crime DA’s (until the crime starts hitting affluent #blueanon hoods and hangouts, or those migrants have the audacity to forget that #blueanon wasn’t serious about that sanctuary city stuff).

For those things to be virtuous, they must be done of free will and out of the kindness of hearts; not thru coercion or violence.
For virtue to exist means cannot justify ends. Both means and ends must be virtuous.

He'd be entertaining, but the dirt would be pretty useless, since you can't believe anything he says.
