@rortybomb @BethAkersEd @nasiripour (source is p. 7 of http://t.co/jxAkQeRoQR)
@rortybomb @BethAkersEd @nasiripour 3) understatement of the true subsidy because administrative costs are shown separately.
@rortybomb @BethAkersEd @nasiripour 2) underestimates of the appropriate risk premium because of a lack of good market proxies,
@rortybomb @BethAkersEd @nasiripour CBO: neg fair-value sub could stem from: 1) overly optimistic assumptions about defaults and recoveries
@nasiripour @rortybomb @BethAkersEd I haven't run numbers so don't have strong view, but worth noting that CBO does admin costs separately
@nasiripour @rortybomb @BethAkersEd "fair-value" is not an oracle to the truth; it is a set of calculations subject to debate
@rortybomb @BethAkersEd @nasiripour There are lots of assumptions baked into "fair value" calcs, so wouldn't put much faith in any single #
@rortybomb @BethAkersEd @nasiripour Whoops, thought there was a Delisle post that crunched the #s but can't seem to find one.
@rortybomb @BethAkersEd I was referencing Delisle's work, not the CBO report. http://t.co/3Djf41UHKY

@mattcournoyer thanks for follow. I'd be glad to talk interest rate policy with any folks in your office if it would be helpful.
@mattyglesias Right. If only it were fiscal stimulus in disguise!
Post by @mattyglesias: http://t.co/MCI9DmD45G Warren proposal only affecting loans issued after 7/1: http://t.co/gE3aRtTSmN
.@mattyglesias supports @SenWarren student loan proposal as fiscal stimulus. Fine, but Warren's rate cut would only apply to new loans
@rortybomb gov loses money on student loans. See here: http://t.co/mMCFrBTjkY My colleague @BethAkersEd may have more to add.
@mattyglesias @dylanmatt Warren proposal only cover new loans issued after 7/1. So does nothing for people already in debt.
@mattyglesias @dylanmatt the piece was a review of proposals on interest rates. Preferable to ignore proposal that got lots of attention?
