[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It must be resentment. There are some weirdly angry people here. And yes, obviously a bunch are just trolling to get a rise out of people, but some of these people mean what they write.[/quote]
Yes, I'm angry that we taxpayers had to foot your bill. So were millions of others.[/quote]

The loans that taxpayers had to pay were business loans during covid and bail outs of banks and airlines. I'm not familiar with mass student loan payments by taxpayers.

(Yes, there's forgiveness for public servants, but we all benefit from that.)[/quote]
[b]only govt workers with loans benefited from that. [/b] The taxpayers didn't benefit from that.

I didn't agree with business loans, either, but at the least, it was done so that people wouldn't lose their jobs.  You getting a degree in something not marketable and then not being able to get a job that pays enough to pay off your loan was your choice.

My niece worked 3 jobs to pay off her loan.  She picked a field that she could get a good paying job in to pay off that loan.

You underestimate how much regular taxpayers, the majority of whom don't have degrees, feel about taxpayers paying off your loans because of your choices.[/quote]

Everyone working in public interest is eligible for public interest loan forgiveness -- teachers, nurses, social workers, legal aid lawyers, public defenders, etc. Even if that doesn't include you because you chose a higher paying job, we all benefit from people doing those jobs.[/quote]
