Student loan forgiveness will help tons of people. Sorry you don't like it, boomers.
How about we stop subsidizing corn instead.
I’d be fine if we stopped subsidizing political churches, too. Preacher can pay tax on his private jet.
Deal -- as long as we start taxing all universities and non-profits, of course.
Deal?
We don’t provide subsidies to political action nonprofits. Many churches have dispensed with any notion of charity and are political action nonprofits or discriminatory clubs now. See the difference?

Biden gets a win for announcing this whole thing. Courts will prevent it from happening. Biden gets the win, GOP becomes the bad guy for challenging in the courts. This rallies the D base. Biden won't lose most independents once this gets overturned.

I see your point, but not sure about it. Several immigrant friends, mosty apolitical, are livid about the stupidity of all this.
I think a lot of people are ticked about this and it cuts across demographic groups.

Don't disagree, but it won't get past the courts.

Student loans make sense when you are working towards a productive, well paying position, like being a doctor or lawyer or engineer, but there needs to be an evaluation of whether or not a loan is a worthy investment into your future, and we aren’t giving out 17-18 year olds the skills to do that.
Student loans compound interest daily. They are as bad as credit cards.
Trust me, 17 year-olds signing loan docs don’t know any of this or how long it will reasonably take to pay for the loans. The authority figures they trust all them to take the debt.
The whole system is a sign of the degeneracy of the American business and political elite.

You knew the interest that would be charged but still took the loan. We're your parents so ignorant that they didn't tell you this was a bad idea? You are deadbeats and you probably welch on all your debts. I have no sympathy for people like you
Your boy Trump welched on a ton of loans and stiffed a lot of small business owners. You said it was a sign of how smart he was, not evidence of his moral failures. So what is it? Only “rich guys” on the tee vee get a free ride?
