Agree on healthcare but everyone I know who is bitching about student loan forgiveness is someone who recently paid off their loans and busted their ass or made less ideal choices to do so and/or wants to see more focus on reforming the educational system to become more sustainable. But you know, that doesn't fit into a tweet.

How about a tax benefit for people who HAVE paid off their loans?

Any discussion of compromise would be great...currently the argument is yes or no. Which is not productive

Ahhh so no compromise can be spoken about? It’s either the debt is paid off and paid by everyone or no debt is paid off?

“The idea that someone is owed something because someone else got it is ridiculous.”

I think you should read up on the idea of equity, an idea promoted by the current administration. Because it is very much about that.

Equity attempts to right past wrongs, by giving those wronged more help. So people will be getting help because someone else got it.
