MAGA is happy to ridicule and mock students who are buried alive in compounding interest, calling them "commies" and "dead beats" and "bums" and all the rest, but not a word about the Merchant Class being handed billions in free paychecks to sustain their private businesses during lockdowns. Once again, it's "socialism for the rich, consequences for the poor."
How can the feds justify loan forgiveness for the Merchant Class but not for poor students?
"Asking for a friend." 🙄
This is a leftist mindset. External locus of control. "He's not a thief, he just stole because society motivated him to steal. He a gud boy!"
I don't think federal student loans should even be a thing. Yes, the system is predatory. I don't think PPP was a good use of money either. But you asked what the difference is and I told you.
PPP - The government trying to pave over a pothole they made.
Forgiving student loans - Demanding the government fill in a you made in your backyard.
That's the difference. You might not like it and you can argue all you want about why the student was motivated to dig a hole in their yard, but the key difference between the two is responsibility for how the situation was created. I even suggested that tuition wasted due to COVID overreaction should be forgiven, so your merchant/student class argument against me is extra retarded.
For whatever it's worth, the government should have never offered student loans and they shouldn't have shut down a damn thing for a cold either.
I already said that the govt shouldn't have gotten involved in loans, which inflated the cost of tuition by 22x the average prior. Meaning loan forgiveness would, in fact, be them "paving a pothole they made."
Fortunately, it doesn't matter what you think. Millennials forward are in favor, and Boomers like you are just salty, bitter and miserable as you've always been. It shouldn't matter what the money was applied towards, whether for Israel or student loans. If the gov't is going to forgive some loans for some people and not other loans for others, that's fucked up and you're a hypocrite for defending it. I'm certain you're the kind of person that thinks using safety equipment is for "pussies" and that everyone should be equally miserable at work because "that's what being a man is about."
