[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't like the idea of $10,000 being forgiven by the federal government for the average student after a pandemic, you're really going to hate that your Congresspeople have received $100,000 to $4.3 million in loans forgiven by the government, while collecting a generous and stable taxpayer-funded salary throughout.  And many of them are from the GOP and are the same people screaming about how it's irresponsible to forgive all this debt.

I don’t have a problem with people having government loans forgiven when they work for the government. Want to work as a teacher, police officer, public librarian, serve in the military, or work in congress? Great! But I do have a problem with doling out money to everyone who paid too much for a degree they can’t afford. [/quote]

So stop entitlements for farmers?[/quote]

In a way, farmers work for the government. Let me put it this way: if my taxpayer funded government program helps feed, teach, protect, or employ citizens, then it’s ok. That money is being spent to better the country and improve its citizens. The govt also helps citizens become educated by providing grants and low interest loans. Paying off loans after the fact for people who don’t provide any important service in return is a waste. I wouldn’t have a problem if the government decided to start an incentive program to pay for medical school or teaching degrees. But I do have a problem with paying for my niece’s degree in women’s studies from a school she couldn’t afford. It was her choice to go there and she is now working in a Weed store. I’m pissed I have to have my taxes pay for her bad choices.
