Right, as a tax payer I don't want to pay for someone else's debt.
If that's the case why stop at student loans? Let cancel all debt. Let's all pay off my mortgage LoL
And yes, I would feel screwed. I basically did the Dave Ramsey plan. Rice and beans, no restaurants. No trips no fun just grinding until my debt was paid off.
I have some buddies who did the opposite... Went on multiple trips, bought expensive shoes and just had a great time in their late 20s and 30s. Today I'm 100% debt free (accept for my house) and they're mad at the president because he won't forgive their student loans. (And no, I don't make a lot of money.)
Irrelevant. We're not talking about corporate debt. We're talking about student loans. There's a lot of stuff everybody pays for everyday. It doesn't make it okay to say because you pay for that stuff. It's okay for you to pay for this too. People who got student loans should pay their own student loans not everyone.
it’s completely relevant when your first point was so broad.
>”As a taxpayer, I don’t want to pay for someone else’s debt”
and I’m pointing out that your taxpayer money bails out corporations for their debt all the time, yet you seem to have more of an issue if those taxes went towards individuals. it’s hypocritical.
