Placing a moratorium on student loan debt payments until next January. I'm not in favor of forgiving them altogether, but I think we should give people a break until this mess is over and gone.

However, I'm not a big fan of the tax resolution services. Why should folks who pay their taxes in full and on time subsidize a bunch of deadbeats? When I hear radio commercials for tax resolution services that promise to settle IRS bills for pennies on the dollar, it really pi$$es me off. But I'm just a grumpy old man.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
