Student loan relief.
Some statistics regarding those who take on loans. Like middle class tax cuts, it is designed to supposedly spend money on things such has home purchases, etc. The counter argument that tax payers are on the hook is ridiculous. First of all these people pay taxes as well. Secondly, no new taxes have been issued to take more money out of your pocket to cover the relief. If you're not mad at corporate tax cuts then you can't belly ache about this.
- 54.1% of independent undergraduate students accepted federal student loans.
- Middle-income students are most likely to take out federal loans at 58.4%.
- 63.6% of students living in campus housing use federal loans.
- 39.7% of college students living with their parents accept federal loans.
- 52.0% of married undergraduates accepted federal student loans.

But our national debt grows and grows. If we aren't paying the loans we are responsible for then
that lack of payment has to be booked somewhere, moron.
So...now we have nationalized college education.

Why not mortgage debt? Auto loan debt? Credit card debt?

Why not another tax cut for billionaires? Again, all sides of politics have given up any sense of
fiscal responsibility. Anymore it’s just how and where you want to waste the money.
By the way the loan forgiveness is a pandering terrible idea.
Gambling debt.

This is a red line. Unless I get reimbursed for my tuitions, I can never vote Dem b/c of this.
This is about fairness. This is disgustingly unfair, and it is purely an attempt to buy votes.
I joined the military to save on education costs.
I paid my loans. I saved and paid for all my kids. Fuck any party or any person who supports this...unless they want to pay for all the tuitions I paid at a similar level.
The amazing thing is that this all comes out of Obamacare...when we had to pass the bill before we could see what was in it. At the time, even I didn't think Obama was that crass to try to buy votes like this by paying the banks and then forgiving the debt. But, it is one of the ways Dems stay in power. Fuck the Democrats for this.
I agree that student loan relief is fundamentally unfair.
It is unfair to the families who responsibly saved money to pay for their kids’ tuitions.
I do favor public service as a path to forgive student loans.
Agree. Public service is a great idea.

I did public service...and I paid my bills. F them.
This is one issue that I am very passionate about......obviously. There is no way to defend this. And yet, Quest4Biden, a paid shill for the DNC, comes here and raises the issue on his own. Shameful.
I hear you. The GI Bill paid for part my education, too….
Conor raised a good point. Why not have them work off their debt by serving? It’s like earning the GI Bill in reverse.
I laugh at the “attempt to buy votes” they are politicians.
It was Bidens campaign promise but they all pander. You just move here?
Why aren’t you as mad that the middle class tax cuts weren’t permanent?
Reward idiots. Reward universities. Totally offensive.
Why not reward the smart and diligent people? Because they won't fall for your bullshit?
If the Dems keep pushing this without offering to pay the many tuitions I've paid, then they are dead to me. Fuck them.
Your ability and inclination to pay off college loans is just another sign of your privilege.
You probably even majored in some privileged field that landed you a job with other privileged college loans payers.
Yeah...I picked a major that would employ me. Dems don't like independent people.

This is why you're the problem.
Independent thought is more dangerous than unvaccinated children going to school.
I told my kids they could get hobby degrees if they wanted, but they had to pay for them themselves.
Amazingly, they all chose degrees that would get them good jobs.
Conor would call that tough love...while he hands out money to people who choose hobby degrees. Tough love enables people. If he enables his own party's voters, they might not need his party handouts anymore. So, they get the drug...the handouts. Keep them hooked on government assistance. Quest4Biden is here to spread the propaganda.
AOC says this will allow people to start a family, buy a home or go back to school
I wonder if it will have any effect on inflation.
Go back to school? More loans for the Masters in Gender Studies?

The problem is that it does nothing to address the root cause of the problem
In fact, it exacerbates it.
Yep.
