    Ppl are crazy for downvoting you. It’s not like you shit on people for not being able to pay, or said anything about not wanting others to get help. I think a one time tax credit would be a great idea to get more people behind the idea of at least a partial loan forgiveness for everyone.

    This is why things don’t get done anymore. You offer a great potential middle ground solution and people just try to shit on it. You worked hard and paid off your debt and are bummed others might have theirs cancelled?? Well fuck you your feelings are invalid!!!

      Maybe it wasn’t clear in the original comment, but I support canceling student debt, I just added a “nice-to-have” that could get more people on board with it. I was like, “I think it’s great if they get their loans canceled, but I wish…” and then I listed an idea, but that’s obviously not good enough because we have to accept it wholeheartedly and we can’t ever want nice things for ourselves. I was even giving reasons why my suggestion wouldn’t work and defending Biden, but yeah, I’m an asshole, whatever. I consider myself a liberal, but liberals have itchy trigger fingers when it comes to downvoting.
