AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Waking up, looking at my plate and see there's food. Life's good. Look at my neighbor's plate. It's empty. Life is even better.
Except one day, my neighbor's plate isn't empty. How could this great injustice befall me? What have I done to deserve this?
The idea is that the people who paid their loans need it just as much as the people who didn't, but people who paid them off early aren't eligible for loan forgiveness.
This is a solvable problem, and opposing student loan reform/forgiveness on these grounds is an overreaction.
The confusing part for me here though is that they are not put at a disadvantage by someone else not having crippling debt.
I honestly think it’s more of “I had to suffer and so should you” mentality despite the fact that someone being able to pay off their loans they’re in a better position financially than someone who has no hope of paying them off.
Yes I think that liberal ideology causes them to have that mindset. I do think that there should be something like "forgive 10k (or more ofc) student debt and also a $10k stipend to anyone who paid off their loans in the last 5 years".
I mean it all is means-tested in that you have to have the debt to get the relief but setting some arbitrary period of time of when the final payment was made just seems weird. Everyone who isn’t getting the money is gonna feel screwed either way
Oh sure, that's fair I guess. The cutoff is going to be somewhere. The ideal solution is to not approach education (and the financialization of it) like this in the first place.
Our capitalist culture makes us like crabs in a bucket. The worst crab party.
Ya sure, I'm trying to keep in grounded in what we can reasonably expect from.Biden, but you're not wrong.
It's impossible to do anything good because people in the past didn't benefit from it. Banning slavery? That wouldn't be fair on past slaves.
For that matter, electing Biden was unfair because people born now didn't have to to endure Trump. Everyone should endure Trump for all eternity!
I’d much rather reward a thousand normal people than a dozen bankers, yes
solution: extend the relief to apply retroactively to already paid debts as well
I don't fucking care, give all the people who paid off their loans their money back.
using your eyeballs is disrespectful to microbes that haven't evolved them yet
I think ending slavery would be really unfair to all the people murdered their owners and escaped and I think you should stop selfishly trying to free all the slaves.
how can someone get assmad about other imaginary people who get to indulge in a luxury lifestyle, but also oppose a 70% top marginal tax rate?
hear me out, what if we made all of the new graduates with more money pay money into a big government pool. heck that money can even go towards paying off other peoples debt.
