[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG -- I wish someone would create a chart that compares the "cost" of student loan forgiveness against the cost of tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.

Why do Americans think it's totally unfair to forgive student loans but it's totally fine that most US corporations pay almost nothing in taxes?

When Republicans eliminate taxes for the super rich and for corporations, everyone shrugs.

When Democrats eliminate crippling student loan debt for a few thousand people, everyone goes nuts.

Explain it to me like I'm 5.

I'll explain to you.

If you worked hard and tried to figure out a way to pay your debt by getting a higher paying job, then got it forgiven, that's fine.

If you did not want to get a higher paying job even though you knew you should to pay the debt, but then decided to stick it to the taxpayers and go off on a meditation vacation, then it's not fine.

Understand?[/quote]

Who are you to judge who "worked hard" enough? Do corps have to make such a showing before getting debt written off in bankruptcy (no, no they don't). [/quote]
