>If it means that the teachers have all the supplies, support and benefits...

does this include pay? because imo the biggest concern is that new educators arent entering the field and young educators are leaving the field because the pay is atrocious with the amount of shit that teachers put up with.

Right, the goal is to achieve maximum employment while hitting 2% inflation. I expect unemployment to tick up over 2023(hence softening of the market) but with last month's CPI report coming in lower than expected and the jobs data that was just released, it's looking pretty good. We still have a long ways to go to 2%, but it's on the right track.

Wages are also cooling which the Fed has been worried about wage-price spiraling.

Pretty standard for all dealerships tbh. They show the price of the car but then when you get to finance you'll see things like vin etching added on for $700.

No matter what dealership you go to, always ask for a copy of the out-the-door-price when talking to the salesman. this gives you ALL of your charges for that specific vehicle (add-ons, fees, taxes, etc.). So then when you get to finance their should be no surprises (though finance will push additional warranties on you - just decline them unless you really do want them).

well if you got a refund for payments that you made, then your loan balance goes back to what it was prior to those payments.

so say you had 10k in loans, you paid 4k which brings your balance down to 6k. you then requested a 4k refund as those payments were made during the CARES act, you still owe 10k on your loans. this is obviously not taken into accounts if you made no other payments during the forebearance. this is for illustrative purposes.

refunds for loan payments made during the covid forebearance was possible because of the CARES act. the student loan forgiveness that is currently being battled in the courts is completely separate from the CARES act and has no affect on it.

you do not have to worry about taxes for refunds on loan payments via the CARES act.
