[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of these analogies make sense... Jesus with bread and fish, PPP loans, socialism, etc.

Student loan forgiveness is fine for people making below the median income, which is about $44,225 for individual Americans.

This $125k cap is crazy high... almost 3x the median income. It's disgusting.[/quote]

Funny how $125 is "crazy high" now.  This same board thinks $250K is barely getting by when the subject is tax increases.[/quote]

Logical fallacy: red herring.[/quote]

A red herring is not even a logical fallacy.  So what you posted is word salad.[/quote]

Incorrect--it is a type of logical fallacy (but also a literary device)

No, despite what you read on Wikipedia, a logical fallacy is something that can be disproven through the use of logic instead of via evidence.  Clearly college debt was never a concern in your life.[/quote]

Besides Wikipedia and countless other sources you can find on the internet, Purdue University begs to differ. "Fallacies are common errors in reasoning that will undermine the logic of your argument. Fallacies can be either illegitimate arguments or irrelevant points, and are often identified because they lack evidence that supports their claim."

Purdue includes red herrings in its list of logical fallacies.
