    CBO: Biden's plan to cancel student debt to cost $400B over 30 years.
    United Press International (Center) • Factual Grade 83% • 4 min read

    Some 43 million borrowers hold about $1.6 trillion in federal student loans, of which $430 billion will be canceled, the [nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office] said, which added that its projections are based on calculations that show 95% of the 37 million borrowers with direct loans from the federal government are eligible for the president's program and that it believes 90% of those eligible will apply for debt cancelation.
    ...
    [Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Elizabeth Warren] said the CBO report shows that millions of middle-class Americans will benefit from the plan while contrasting it to the $2 trillion in tax breaks the former Trump administration gave to corporations.
    ...
    The report did warn, however, that its estimates are "highly uncertain" as it cannot know how much borrowers would have repaid in absence of Biden's executive actions. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which previously said Biden's plan would cost upwards of $650 billion over the next decade, said the CBO report is an underestimation.

Is it acceptable to dodge a military draft?

405 votes, 47 comments

Context: Russian citizens attempt to flee country, protest against mobilization.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Depends - I would generally say no, but drafts are generally used to bolster military ranks for the defense of one's country. The current Russian draft is to support a Russian invasion, so I don't see how anyone would have a moral obligation to support said invasion. The US draft during the Vietnam War was another one that was rather suspect.


Yes - I believe that people should pursue other means available to them first -- registering as conscientious objectors, for example -- but I do think people should be ab...



No - This is a hard question because I do not believe in a military draft. I don't think anyone should have to serve that doesn't want to. That being said... if there is a...
