Kamala with a serious policy swing and miss, imo.

Posted by Volnelk Jul 28 '19, 10:40

How many people does this actually help? 50?

Who is burdened by serious student loans and decides to start a business anywhere, let alone a disadvantaged area?

Not a bad idea, but seems a bit small bore. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jul 28, 11:39 3
- 7% tax credit to left handed chemists that invent a new plant based substitute for chicken. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:20 2
  - Exactly. I think to the average person, that’s how it reads. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 15:13 1
    - Given that the majority of Pell Grant recipients probably couldn't afford to start a business straight out of college, it's pretty - TWuG Jul 28, 15:24
I think the idea is to encourage people to start businesses in those areas and if they're less burdened by their debt that could be a more - Krusty Jul 28, 11:06 3
- Sure that’s the idea. I just don’t think it ends up impacting more than 50 people. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 11:13 2
  - But in the end those 50 people could start businesses that work and employee multiple people from those disadvantaged areas. That would be worth it to - Krusty Jul 28, 11:19 1
    - Sure. But it's an election where she needs millions and millions of people to think she is going to help them not 50. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 13:09
Next, she will save the coal miner industry. -- nm - Spawn Jul 28, 10:59
You’re looking backwards when you should look at it as a forward thinking policy. This is very similar to other programs that “forgive” student loans. - Qale Jul 28, 10:43 9
- My friend the Rose is doing that, work for a non prof and while her take home is under 40, no loan payments nor mal practice insurance -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 28, 11:23
- Right. But I don’t think those are remotely comparable. Maybe I’m wrong. - Volnelk Jul 28, 10:54 7
  - I think it's a good idea that even if it doesn't equal up to other programs can be helpful to get people to start businesses in areas - Krusty Jul 28, 11:12 4
    - It’s essentially a tax abatement to encourage people to move somewhere. Same principle. - Volnelk Jul 28, 11:14 3
      - Why is that a problem if we get something good for the people of that area? -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 11:20 2
        
        I'm not saying it's a problem. Sure it will help some people. But she is running for President. - volnelk Jul 28, 13:08 1
        
        I'm with on it being too minimal to be something to run on. It needs to be part of a package not on its own. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 13:39
  - I get what you’re saying. It’s touting something that’s not all that amazing, sure. But if it’s part of a larger plan that’d be much better. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 11:09 1
    - Agreed. But then I think it’s foolish to not roll it out with your whole plan. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 13:30
Side note, Kushner owns 20,000 apartments in Baltimore. Many in the district that has been complained about so vocally by our fearless leader. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 10:43 2
