    But it is an imaginary concept; beyond the value we prescibe to it, money means nothing. The money Biden attempt to cancel out before and the lesser amount he is attempting now is only money indebted to the United States Government; who like anyone else can and should be able to forgive debts owed to them at their will and leisure. Conservatives love to talk about small government and the benefits of private business, so why do they care about the private business of the government?

    If you say something to the effect of “it’ll raise taxes!” It won’t, as the debt owed by students is wholly unrelated to the debt owed by the U.S. government or it’s expenditures. They could use the trivial amount for those things, but student loans payments have been mostly frozen for a while so its not like the government is recieving it anyways.

    IIRC he never claimed to not own CP; He was charged and there was legitimate evidence of dozens of CP materials. His legal defense was that he buys bulk lots of kisch art and wasn’t aware the offending material was in there. He would later in 2004 (after charges were dropped in exchange for a obscenity charge) claim that he was aware of the CP; but he only owned it for as he also collected vintage Erotica; and he further claimed the CP was “innocent nudes” and in no way pornographic in nature. Not being charged doesn’t mean he didn’t actually own the offending materials.
