As Biden administration leans toward $10,000 in student loan forgiveness, advocates push back

Much like open borders, this is a Democratic issue that baffles me. Why do people deserve to have their student loan debt forgiven.  How about people that joined the military to pay for college do they get a check. How about people that didn't go to college and too out loans to start a small business. 

 

Maybe make ways to have portions paid back. Volunteer in underserved communities. Medical loans could be repaid thru military service or serving in rural poor areas.  Do something to earn it

Yes.  

 

My daughter had some student loans from dental school and a nice chunk was repaid by agreeing to work for 2+ years in public health in the somewhat rural area of Clarksville Tennessee.

As someone that also took out student loans and paid them back in full, this is a big slap in the face to me, and I assume for many others.  The story is somewhat disingenuous, the debt is not actually forgiven, it is only transferred to others that did not make the decision to take out the loan(s).

I'd kind of like to have one of those fancy and expensive electric cars.

 

If I take out a loan for one can I have that forgiven?

 

After all I'll be saving the planet.

Imagine going to a restaurant, and the people sitting at the table next to you order a nice expensive dinner. When the check comes, they complain about the cost and don't want to pay, so the restaurant owner decides to add a portion of their bill to yours.

Not only is it a slap in the face, it's a kick in the groin when you see the product the universities/colleges are putting out these days. I am going to assume when you paid for your own schooling, you made sure what you were studying was beneficial.
