We know it’s hard for millennials to hear – especially considering how badly screwed so many of them are after racking up ridiculous loan balances into the 100s of thousands of dollars – but there isn’t a compelling moral argument for forgiving student loans.
While Democratic politicians like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders like to wax poetic about unleashing an entire generation from the shackles of debt slavery, in reality, Americans with student loans largely include middle-class people – or at least, people who were raised in the middle class.
The argument ‘well they bailed out the banks’ isn’t really an argument: it’s just another example ‘of whataboutism’, a sin that the left is constantly accusing President Trump and his allies of committing.
And as the world waits to see whether Joe Biden will embrace some of the progressive agenda pushed by politicians like AOC and ‘the squad’. Biden has suggested that loan forgiveness of up to 50k per borrower could be on the table as an early-stage priority. But is that just lip service? Sometimes, it’s difficult to tell.
Because people in blue states are educated.
It seems you have educated confused with indoctrinated 5:01…….I’m all ears though in the event you can back that BS comment.
You are a true Idiot 5:01. I see it as blue state are loose and free with other peoples money. Republicans tend to pay their debts, come from better famlies, and get an education that equates to a good job. Why should i have to pay for your dumb ass decesion to get a degree in hair buns. I paided for my loans . You pay for yours .or I WANT RESTITUTION..
