My lender has been sitting on my application for PAYE since September. And I doubt it ever gets processed as it won't help their bottom line.
Biden should have left the debt pause indefinitely and fight judges who ruled against himself. The courts allow delays. This would gain him back a lot of support and it would cost him zero political capital.
Yep. He told Republicans he would stop pausing it to pass funding for the government.
He should have lied like they would.
I mean, yes?
It's time to fucking play hardball with these creeps instead of this milquetoast turn the other cheek bullshit.
They want to play the game like that, so they are setting the ground rules. Acting like we have to keep one hand tied behind our back during a fight with them is fucking stupid. Get that arm out and throw sand in their fucking eyes.
Pocket sand!
The thing is, we don't need to stoop to make this even. Just start making the courts somewhat even again and arrest these clowns. We don't have to be peices of shit because they are.
In principle I agree. In practice idk.
Look out we got a tough guy
