I learned the hard way that the federal student loan program is quite predatory. The closest thing I can relate it to in the private sector is a payday loan provider. The federal student loans lure you in with what seem to be pretty good interest rates, much better than a run of the mill credit card. However, there’s something about the way the payments are structured and/or the interest is applied that makes them a nightmare to pay off. If a private lender tried to use such subtle tactics with their loans, they would be labeled as predatory lenders and the same federal government that employs these very tactics would shut them down. And that’s saying nothing of value determination for what the person going into debt will actually receive (worthless “education” in many cases). At least I was able to obtain a degree that brought about gainful employment and a means thereby to eventually pay off my nightmare of a loan.

Supposedly minimum payments will pay these loans off in 10 years time. I find that difficult to believe after having made payments on these loans myself. It seemed as though the debt needle never moved, no matter how many times I even paid extra.

“This is a side of Dr. Warner Von Braun few have ever seen… this film was approved by NASA in 1961… It may be the first public view in decades”…

Interesting video indeed…

Yeah I copy pastad from Revolver. I didn’t think that’s how his name was spelled (too simple for ze Germans), but I went with the Revolver headline in all red text and it felt soooo good.

Some careers require it. I actually had zero desire for school and could have learned to do what I do without it, but getting hired is another story. It’s all a racket.

>>17495419

Yeah people that pursue a career, that requires a Bachelor’s Degree (or higher), and only pays $30k to start… well there’s just no other way to explain that than some people are just idiots.

GeorgiaTech, there’s the key to higher salary. The reply I made was regarding social worker jobs paying $30k to start. Why would someone take on heavy student loan debt for that kind of job? Sure there’s the “overall” compensation to consider, great benefits, state retirement, and so on, but $30k/year (for much more than just the first year at least) is going to lead someone, who chooses to take on significant debt to get that job, straight into bankruptcy.

My daughter went to a state school for one year (cost me and spouse anon $20k), then got sent home in her second semester due to the plandemic, and never went back. Fortunately we didn’t have to take on debt for that one year, but we would have had she/we made the decision for her to go back for a second year. It was actually a great learning experience for her as she saw hust how the scholarship/funding game is rigged in favor of minorities. She also saw what a $ racket the whole thing is. She, like many others just out of high school, was lured to this particular university by a program that seems “fun” (marine biology). Most, like her, come to realize the program isn’t what they imagined it would be and choose to go in another direction. She hasn’t decided for sure what she wants to do next in the 2 years since she left the university. She wants to do nursing like her mom, but all of the programs require the vax (for now). Plus she’s had some health ailments that are a bit unusual for a 21 year old and hasn’t really been in a condition/state of mind to go to school or even work. Through prayer and medical care and by the Grace of God Almighty she’s getting much better and to the point where she can hopefully resume her pursuit of life goals very soon. She is VERY intelligent, so a little hiatus these past 2 years will only be a minor hiccup.

I’m sure it still works with the right budget and budgeting. I too worked full time through 4 years of college, but my wife was either not working or not making much $ when she was working during those 4 years. Plus we had 3 kids to support. All in all I made my payments, sometimes the minimum and sometimes a little more, but it just wasn’t in the budget to be super aggressive with paying the loan and the loan balance NEVER seemed to budge. In hindsight I would never have accepted the loan had I known then what I know now. It seemed a good idea at the time though. Live and learn.

>clean this mess up again

Again? If the mess had been cleaned up to begin with we wouldn’t be where we are now. I’m all for President Trump “cleaning up the mess”, and I understand he had his hands full and more than we can possibly even imagine trying to do so the first go round, but I’m under no illusion that the mess was “cleaned up” from 2016-2020 either.

The Bible is attacked persistently here by people who say it was written by men to control the masses. Sure it was written by the hands of men but, let’s be honest, men from the cultures and eras of Bible times would not have written what’s in the Bible without inspiration. They would not have had the heroine of the story die on a cross only to be resurrected with a promise to return. They would not have had women playing prominent roles in the ministry of said heroine. Women certainly wouldn’t have been the first to find the tomb empty. There’s a lot more of these sorts of anecdotes that I could mention but you get the picture. Aside from that, the Bible flows beautifully despite being written by over 40 different authors across hundreds of years. Add to all of that the pinpoint accuracy of the prophets well as “scientific” knowledge that was initially dismissed by the scientists of the world only later to be proven accurate by the scientific community and the Bible stands alone among all books. Then there’s the perseverance of the Bible. Brilliant scholars across the ages have made it their life’s goal to discredit the Bible only to, after decades of research in some cases, wind up validating the Bible. Many have tried to ban the Bible and/or destroy it, yet they are gone and the Bible still stands. The Bible is not he inerrant and infallible Word of God.

>not he

Stupid autocorrect…

The Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God.

I used “heroine” because I was speaking hypothetically. If man had written the Bible (sans inspiration)… I don’t put Jesus in my hypotheticals.

Miracles aren’t forbidden. It is dangerous to use dark powers to produce miracles because that opens a door into ones life for the demonic to enter, ergo the Bible forbids it. We have miracle power within us through the Holy Spirit. Most lack the faith to use these miracle powers though.

Jesus references Jewish writings that are not scriptural to illustrate the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes.
