Maybe if they keep the house, and pick up a few seats in the Senate, they can try and fix this issue.

If not I'm sure Elon can buy Congress and shape the country in his image
GOP on their grifting shyt now.. They know the senate is lost… All of those either quiting or losing their seats will be looking to cash out and getting a piece of that 1.6 bill that dumb ass business gave up lmaooo


GOP still hemorrhaging money.. can’t even buy ads for pa, az or wi… Trump taking all the small donor cash and keeping it for himself lmaoo

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
The estimated distributional effects are — how should I put this? — mixed. Under no scenario does more than 12% of the financial benefit accrue to the bottom income quintile. The optimal scenario is (not coincidentally), $10,000 in relief with a $125,000 income cap. That would maximize the combined benefit for the bottom and second income quintiles, shown with bars in the figure (below) for simplicity.



Amusingly (and remember, I’m allowed to laugh at this because I lean Progressive, so I’m effectively laughing at myself), the worst outcome results from no-questions-asked, $50,000 forgiveness. In that scenario, almost 3% of the benefits would go to the top 5% of earners, and 8% to the top 10%. That’s not surprising. Those earning more than $150,000 per year are more likely to have jobs requiring expensive, advanced degrees.

Note that using Penn’s estimate for the year-one cost of $50,000 in relief with no income cap, the 2.43% of benefits which would accrue to borrowers in the top 5% of earners equates to nearly $20 billion.

Crucially (and unfortunately) more than two-thirds of the debt relief accrues to borrowers in the top 60% of the income distribution in all scenarios. The distributional outcome doesn’t change if you control for so-called “lifecycle effects” by limiting the analysis to borrowers aged 25 to 35.
