Given this precedent, will student loans effectively be “forgiven” by the simple expedient of endlessly rolling the payment pause? Perpetually denying investors access to their capital will pause any economic recovery as well.

The Biden administration will relieve Americans from paying their federal student loans through the end of January, extending the pause for what it says is the last time as the government seeks to keep the economic recovery rolling.

The move continues the suspension of payments for all loans owned by the Education Department, maintaining a 0% interest rate and keeping in place a freeze on the collection of defaulted debt.

“When the pandemic struck, we started seeing all this panic buying,” Maddox said. “What’s really increased is the number of people that contact me. These are really personal emails. They’re not crazy extremists. These are single moms, elderly people, disabled people, regular working people. They’re realizing that things are changing. They can just feel things are changing rapidly,” he said.

With everyone all worked up about possibly getting the china virus from the great unwashed masses one wonders about another more lethal disease. 

The criminal law does not require disclosure of HIV in every case.

A couple of nice charts in here on all cause mortality.

Gavin Newsom: Bought and Paid For

Baiting The Left Democrats 8 Comments

Public sector unions are bankrolling Gavin Newsom in his attempt to avoid being recalled. What do they want in exchange for this money?

Newsbusters;

CNN’s employee handbook must be one migraine-inducing document. Because while CNN continued to allow Chris Cuomo to collect a paycheck despite being wrapped up in his corrupt brother’s sexual misconduct scandal, they decided to fire three people for not getting vaccinated Thursday. This also occurred after the network brought back legal analysts Jeffrey Toobin after he was caught masturbating during a Zoom meeting for The New Yorker.
