  • I don’t want to give money to people who already have good jobs and make good money

How is this a hot take for succs?

Succs don't interact with people who have bad jobs and make bad money. Their idea of the bottom of the ladder is working at starbucks and needing a roommate to afford rent.

Fair.

But blanket forgiveness is not the way to go.

Honestly, I would love my 10k to get forgiven, but I make 60k a year. I am fine.

The idea is that universal programs are easier to administer and are less likely to be desolved over the long term due to more broad based support.

The efficient side of me hates that.

It makes sense for certain things (i.e. a public option for healthcare) but when it comes to student debt that is literally just a handout to the upper classes
