The one thing he hasn't said is how the fuck this debt can just 'disappear'. Somebody's gotta pay it back...
Oh, that's right. Me and you are gonna get stuck with that tab. My bad. What was I thinking?

I think she is trying to be unbelievable. Juss' sayin'...
The White House on Wednesday declined to say who will be on the hook for a massive $300 billion student loan forgiveness plan announced by President Biden moments earlier.
During a news briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre outlined the benefits of the plan but skirted questions about who will pay for it when asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy.
"When you forgive debt, you're not just disappearing debt, so who is paying for this?" Doocy asked.
Jean-Pierre replied that once the pause on student loan payments is lifted at the end of 2022, the funds will "offset a lot of what we're doing as well."
"When you think about the $4 billion that's going to go back into, as revenue, back into this process as folks paying their college tuition, that matters as well," she said. "We're doing this in a smart way. We're doing this in a way that's going to be effective."
Doocy further pressed Jean-Pierre on who will be on the hook for the tab. "But somebody's paying for it. Who?" he asked but received no direct answer.
It's not like he didn't tell us he was gonna do it.

'The Rapture (rape) of Proserpina' is a statue by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, created between 1621 and 1622 and exhibited in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. Imagine having the skills to be able to make marble appear as if it's soft tissue, That is truly impressive.

Biden’s order will likely give student borrowers a total of at least $300 billion in relief over a decade, most experts don’t believe it will ignite a surge of consumer spending akin to previous rounds of stimulus checks doled out during the height of the pandemic.

All 30 teams will play one another in a season for the first time in the interleague era, Major League Baseball announced Wednesday as it released the schedule for the 2023 season. As a result, division opponents will play each other just 13 times - down from 19.
The new balanced schedule for 2023 has each team hosting a three-game series or playing a three-game series on the road against every team from the opposite league. Natural rivals - like the Mets-Yankees, Dodgers-Angels and Cubs-White Sox - will play each other four times, twice at home and twice on the road.
Additionally, teams will play one home and road series - consisting of three or four games - against teams from outside their division but in the same league. For example, the Mets will visit the Milwaukee Brewers on May 3-5, while hosting them for four games on June 26-29.

A mysterious, controversial and just plain fucked-up billboard warning people against moving from California to Texas looms over passersby in LA and San Francisco this week. "The Texas miracle died in Uvalde. Don't move to Texas," the billboard reads, alongside the sinister image of a hooded figure and a crossed-out "Don't mess with Texas" slogan. The San Francisco billboard, leased to advertisers by FoxPoint Media, is currently up near the corner of Folsom and 7th Street.
"The Texas miracle" references a term championed by then-Governor Rick Perry in 2011 to highlight the Lone Star State's resilient economy that managed to escape the Great Recession relatively unscathed. "Don't mess with Texas" has long become the definitive call of swagger and pride from the state, though it started as an anti-littering campaign in the 1980s.
Images of the billboards have been posted across LA, San Francisco and Texas subreddits over the last week, causing some anger and debate.
