There are 3 people

1 pays off debt
2 does not
3 has yet to accrue it

If #2 gets a bailout, #1 gets mad, but #2 says "what just cus you beat cancer you want me to have it?!"

but if #3 gets a bailout #2 gets mad for the same reason #1 did, only difference is #1 actually has a reason to be mad.

Person 1 and 3 tend to be the same person. Debt is either building or you're paying it off, one way or another.

Just dont ever let anyone pull that cancer argument shit around you.

Since we’re having other people pay off our debt…I have an $18k car loan I’d love to have other people pay

I can justify it as I’m getting more use out of the truck than many people are with their shitty degree choices

Student Debt, I don't understand this, can someone who wants to erase student debt explain this to me:

I hear a lot of folks who have paid for their student debt say they would be upset if the kids who haven't, got theirs erased.

But then those kids say, "if you beat cancer, would you want me to keep my cancer?"

The answer to that is, "yes but I would like to make it so NO NEW kids could get cancer, by making student loans a government grant, from this point forward."

If we made it so kids didnt go into debt to go to school, that'd be fine, but if we did that without erasing the debt kids own now, those kids would be mad. Those same kids that tell the people who paid their debts off to not be made if theirs are.

THe right way to solve the student debt issue, is to prevent more of it, not erase yours.

What, you want people to still get cancer if you can't cure yours???

I agree with this.

In 2019 someone surprised a graduating class by paying off all their student loans. Such a generous gesture but it really angered the prior year's class and the upcoming class because they weren't lucky enough to graduate at the same time and reap that unexpected windfall.

On the one hand you can say that 2019 graduating class is just damned lucky, but on the other hand you can say this was a totally unfair move, especially if you graduated in 2018 or 2020. Better thing to do would have been to set up a fund that gave smaller grants to all graduates with student loans from 2010-2030, or something like that.

There's no real way to do eliminate student debt in a totally fair way for all.
