60 Academics in economics and beyond support Sanders' economic plan over Clinton's

I wasn't being a smartass.. I'm being serious.. School loans are guaranteed to be paid back..you can't duck em... Why is the rate higher for a mortgage.
 
I'm no economist, can you explain it to me?


Lenders usually evaluate potential loans on the amount of risk and exposure.

If I don't know you and you offer no real collateral I'm likely to not lend to you or seek a higher rate to cover the anticipated defaults. If an unsecured loan defaults, the lender suffers the loss.

If you do offer collateral, say a house and land, the loan is "secured" and even if you default, at least the lender knows they will not be left with nothing.

Besides a loan is an agreement between willing participants, why should an uninvited third party (government) claim any right to make your decisions for you? Where do they get that right?
 
I can go to a bank n get a loan for a 250k home with 10% down (25 k)
Get financed @ 4% ... I could trash that house n lapse on my homeowners insurance in the next 2 years and default.

The bank is going to eat it.


I could never default on a school loan, they chase you forever. They garnish wages. Freeze bank accounts and seize tax returns etc... I don't see why the interest rate would be two-three times higher for school loan.

The Banks are greedy scum, They can't lose. Even on a bad investment they write it off and the federal government bails them out with our tax dollars.
 
Who makes that guarantee ?


With the ability to freeze accounts n garnish wages, the likelihood of getting burned is miniscule.. It is a fair question to ask from Sanders why the 2-3 times interest rate on a safer investment...

Who makes that guarantee? Why should you be on the hook for someone else choices? How does that teach responsibility?

Student loan defaults are increasing. What if the person defaulting doesn't have any money in their account?

Central banks and government controls are what have caused a financial mess, giving them more control doesn't seem likely to be a solution.

Have you ever bought a house?

What else happens when you put 10% down? Then explain why that requirement exists.

And no the bank doesn't eat it --- put your thinking cap on.
 
I've bought 3 homes, I defaulted on my last house after I had spinal fusion.. I've been a renter since til I get my money right n credit repaired.

Actually the bank wins all around.

If you have MIP the insurance company eats it and the bank is made whole. They then sell the home 'on a block' and some other lender buys it..block price is pennies on the dollar..for which the try to turn around and refy the whole nut back to you.

It's a study in pure greed.

So don't get a mortgage and just live in a shitty rented apartment the rest of your life.

No one's forcing you to deal with those greedy banks.

The best way to stop a repossession?

Make your payments on time.

Thank you. Let me add that students as well as home buyers are not surprised with the interest rate after they sign.

And Bernie? When I was going to college student loan % was lower than the home mortgage % by double. Doh! They are examined on their own merits. Still looking for yours.
 
I got into an elevator at work and this man followed in after me. I pushed '1' and he just stood there...I said, "Hi, where you going?" He said, "Phoenix." So, I pushed 'Phoenix'. A few seconds later, the doors opened, two tumbleweeds blew in...we were in downtown Phoenix. I looked at him and said, "You know, you're the kind of guy I want to hang around with." We got into his car and drove out to his shack in the desert. Then the phone rang. He said, "You get it." I picked it up and said, "Hello?"...The other side said, "Is this Steven Wright?" I said, "Yes..." The guy said, "Hi, I'm Mr. Jones, the student loan director from your bank...It seems you have missed your last 17 payments, and the university you attended said that they received none of the $17,000 we loaned you. We would just like to know what happened to the money." I said, "Mr. Jones, I'll give it to you straight. I gave all of the money to my friend Slick, and with it he built a nuclear weapon...and I would appreciate it if you never called me again."
 
Wow what a bunch of fucking assholes.

Ill just say, thats not the America I want. And as someone in thier 30's I am the future of how this country will be shaped. Millennials. And if you look at them, they hate you old fucks and your backwards ways. Let me give you a list of things that will change as the Millennials come into power IMO.
Voting for elections on a App.
Ending electoral collage
Single payer health care,
Paid family, sick, personal, maternity, paternity leave
Guaranteed income
Term limits for congressional seats.
Legalization of cannabis.
Pure separation of church and state
Massive gun control
33 hour work week
Minimum wage tied to inflation
All dirty energy outlawed.
Glass Ste-gall reintroduced
Citizens united overturned.
Reduction in military spending
Funding infrastructure, education, and abortions.
And a HEAVILY taxed wealthy class.

So all you racist white people who like the status quo should know that it will go our way. You are dying off. Thankfully. Best thing that can happen to our poor planet that you refuse to care for. Well if we can get to it in time we may be able to save it from you blind people. And hopefully before we all die.

These are the things that I see my generation supporting. So all the arguments in the world wont make up for the fact that the largest voting pool is supporting and SPENDING MONEY on a candidate that has mentioned or called out for just about all of the things on that list.

Obama won twice because of my generation, and you think we wont put sanders in the oval if thats what we want, then you are deluded. We may not show up in the midterm, but better believe we show in the primary.

So the future is not gonna vote if the power goes out and you can`t access your app ? That`s genius. Right off the bat too.......

You should just move to Greece...most of what you describe has been in play there for quite some time.

You are right,there are some assholes here. Few were able to achieve that status as quickly as yourself and even fewer combined it with being a dumbass at the same time.

Oh and thanks for Obama. You millenials saddled us with that idiot, pussy best described as a petulent child...a description you two have in common it seems.

I have 2 children who are millennial conservatives married to millennial conservatives . Consider YOUR vote cancelled. Both are making 6 figures with no monetary help from me. See what hard work can do for you. Wait, you do see it, YOU hope to tap the hard work of others while you sit around pretending to be Trotsky. .

Btw, Bernie is an old white guy.
 
No, I think we would have 1 million troops on the ground in the ME and we would be too broke to have bailed the Banking and Auto industry.. Say what ya will about the bailouts but they did work.
 
If I could go back in time I'd rip Barbara Bush's uterous out choke Dick Cheyney with it... This world would be a much better place.
