Americans with student loans haven’t had to pay for about two years now, but instead of being grateful (and getting ahead of their debt) they are still whining that they have been treated unfairly.
Spoiled brats, I say!
- JFC why aren’t we forgiving medical debts first!********
- They’re asking for 100% forgiveness even for people who dropped out before finishing. Entitled much?!?********

- Explain why cancelling $1,900,000,000,000 in student debt is a “handout”, but a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for rich people was a “stimulus”.whatthefunk
- medical debts *tooakiersky
- Oooooh ok I can see lots of whataboutisms coming in********
- I guess whataboutisms are only bad when republicans say them?********
- Only bad when they don't make any sense. The only loans being forgiven, so far, are those that were predatory lending.formed
- They haven’t had to pay loans for two years. That’s a kind of forgiveness********
- But like ok, my point is it’s more of about dumb students thinking that one-time loan forgiveness is the solution here.********
- I mean who doesn’t want shit for free? We all do! Gimme gimme gimme********
- nb, the loans were often predatory and those poor victims have paid more than they borrowed already. They don’t want free they want fair ffsmonospaced
- Please educate yourself before making such an embarrassingly ignorant and biased comment. Comes off as stupid and mean.monospaced
- @nb, the two years they “paused” payment and interest isn’t remotely forgiveness. How can you be so dense?monospaced
- They had two years to work/save/invest (or spend!) where they weren’t accruing interest. That’s huge********
- For some people that’s enough time to save a down payment for a house! And btw the moratorium hasn’t ended********
- Did the govt make predatory loans? Or banks? If banks were the culprit, then make the fucking banks pay the money back!********
- @nb, that two years was devastating for many people, lives lost, work lost, children not in school, etc, it wasn't 2 years of saving!monospaced
- @nb, making the banks pay is exactly what this is about lolmonospaced
- point is, if you think this is just about getting shit for free, then you are sadly very very misinformedmonospaced
- How was the pandemic specifically MORE difficult on people with student loans? Everyone went through it, some people have a safety net, others don’t.********
- Biden is writing some big cheques already to people who got fucked by shady banks. Those banks aren’t paying anything back, ever.********
- JFC why aren’t we forgiving medical debts first!
