I think college and student loan debt is a huge scam and the fixes should be focused on making school more affordable or giving people easier access to grants. Just paying off someones debt sets a horrible precedent because you're allowing people to not take responsibility for their own life choices.
It's totally unfair to those who either paid off their student loan debt, or didnt go to college at all because they knew they couldn't afford it and chose to avoid debt.

Do I feel bad that these people are buried in debt? absolutely!
but that doesnt mean making someone else pay it for them is the right thing to do.
WTF kind of logic is that?
You made the choice to take the loan out.... so pay what you owe like the rest of us had to do.

Our Gov and the national media have already swallowed a massive dookie-flavored black pill and reminded the public that the 2nd amendment wouldn't be enough. This was a quiet understanding for years and built on trust while they stockpiled arms and, at least attempted, further gun "safety" restrictions built on the foundation of the mafia during prohibition.

Ah bummer, I don't qualify for the loan forgiveness anyways, boooo. Would've been nice, still happy for my homies getting some help!

It's funny that businesses can sign the papers, take 700 billion in loans, and people celebrate when those loans get completely forgiven, but when its actual people (with whom those businesses cant function without) it's vilified.

Y'all are nerds.

PPP kept millions of workers getting regular paychecks during the early phase of Covid when the danger level was unclear. Businesses had to spend X% on payroll to have it forgiven.

And another problem: What happens in, say, four years when we have four years' worth of new graduates with new student loan debts who DON'T have them forgiven because they weren't around for this round in 2022? Do we just forgive loans in perpetuity now? Or is it only this current generation of graduates that benefit from this?

This is why this smacks more of politics and appealing to voters than some genuine attempt to change their lives or the system in general.

Yea it’s just a reward for current voter base, conflict of interest

Blue collar workers get the shaft bc they don’t vote Dem

College is a scam. Everyone's gonna be a fucking CEO but nobody is gonna mop the floors, right.

Plumber salary: 44-75k/yr
