[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.

+1.

And I say this as someone who paid off loans into my 30s.  It sucked!  Many times I wished I could go back and tell my 18yo self, and my parents who co-signed on private loans, not to do it.  And I wish now that lawmakers would address the underlying issue of college affordability.  The system is broken.

But there is way too much going on in this country and world to be bitter towards those who qualify for student loan forgiveness.  Just way down on my list of things to be angry about.[/quote]
