    “I’m not getting debt relief, so why should they” is their only argument. They’re just greedy.

      And many of them got covid bailouts and never had to pay a penny back and do not think even for a moment that their actions are hypocritical

      And we literally have congress critters that lived on welfare debt relief programs and want to tell others to pull themselves up by the bootstraps.

      I don’t need student debt relief, it won’t affect me. But I am extremely for it - it’s called wanting a better life for your fellow human being.

      Compassion - it’s not a difficult concept if you’re not a narcissistic a$$hole.

      And as an added bonus, the money currently going to banks would actually get better distributed to businesses (both big and small) and act as a net gain to our economy. But screw that - we don’t want some bank stocks to dip and affect some wealthy pension plans! /s

        My family is financially secure and has no student debt. I, too, am for student debt relief, in part because it benefits me directly. When my neighbor has an extra $100 in his pocket to spend at the local shop, that benefits me, too. “Conservatives” (just what in the fuck do they conserve?) are too stupid to see this.

          I was blessed with my parents saving a lot and saving early for my college, and I fully support student debt relief. I honestly don’t understand how it’s possible for someone to be lucky, see the vast majority of people to be unlucky, and not want all of them to be helped out.

            Because in their mind they are not lucky, they worked for it. And the others just didn’t work hard enough.
