The Supreme Court ruled Biden’s student-loan forgiveness is illegal, meaning borrowers will resume payments without debt cancellation this year.

Yeah, you’re “saying” it. Big deal. You know how this works, and no matter what you may “say”, the rich will get the tax breaks, the loan forgiveness, the government programs, and everyone else can go fuck themselves.

So spare me.

Poor people take out student loans. What the fuck do you think those Pell Loans were that would have qualified for $20k forgiveness under this program? You’ve bought the “I didn’t directly benefit from this, so therefore it’s not beneficial to society as a whole” propaganda

That, or it’s just run of the mill “I didn’t get anything from this, so I don’t want anybody to,” with a thin veneer of false empathy.

First of all, I have $7k in loans that would be forgiven. So that ain’t it.

Second of all, yeah, I’m just one dude, that’s how democracy works. If I can convince you that any use of government money to serve one group of people when there’s others who need it much more is wrong, then we’ll be two dudes.

Edit: oh, about this

Poor people take out student loans.

Overwhelmingly, no. Poor people don’t go to college. They either don’t get educated in high school to begin with, or they have family to support and can’t spend 4 years not making an income, even if they could get enough loans to live off of (which is unlikely).

Middle class people get loans.
