But how does that really “build back better?” It’s not enough to delay their hardship; END their hardship. #CancelStudentDebt
Thanks to @POTUS, the pause on federal student loan payments is now extended through January 2022!   I’m pleased he took this necessary action, which will deliver vital relief to students & working families across the country as Democrats continue our work to #BuildBackBetter

Absolutely ludicrous. Just cancel the stupid debt.

I dont take for granted the grants I received for my school. Nor do I take for granted the loans/but Living wages are unequal to cost of living/student loans/college cost are unequal as well. Forgive and restore balance. Gratitude+jobs

Have you met our Senate? That hardship won’t even begin to end until after 2022 and 2024. And that’s only if the Bob’s Barricades are voted out.

You take a student loan, any loan, pay it back. Gen-X didn’t expect handouts. Overpriced universities can dip into their endowments to help their woke alumni pay off their debts.

Student debt is not a hardship. It's a personal choice people made as a means to higher income careers. If you want to speak of hardships, you should be pushing the pubic payment of excessive medical debt instead.

Or they could be responsible adults and pay their loans back.

Student loans are a scam, really a way for capitalists to make more money off of both ends; the rentier capitalists make bank off of the interest and the bosses make profit off of the growing reserve army of unemployed college graduates

Problem w/these loans is the accrued interest/ past due fees if missed payment...unemployed 08 recession, illness/medical debt, divorce, pandemic. Loans become impossible to repay. Predatory too. No one wants default. Forgive. We forgive other country's debts!

Every time neoliberal government claims to be doing good they're actually just kicking a can down the road
