Saying we shouldn’t cancel the college loan debt because it would be unfair to the people who already paid theirs, is like saying we shouldn’t legalize marijuana because it would be unfair to the people who served prison time for it. It’s ridiculous.

“Why should anyone get vaccinated from COVID? I got it before there was a vaccine and I survived!” Same logic.

Or like saying we shouldn’t have ended the Vietnam war, because that was unfair to the soldiers who already died.

Agree, but some kind of compensation for those who struggled w/low to mediocre jobs to pay their costly college debt who graduated in the last 10 years, there should be some kind of compensation for it. bc the cost was unfair. For those having $50k-$100k jobs last 5 yrs, nothing!

If you don’t also get rid of the loans, it creates a moral hazard.

Comparing people who committed a crime, to people who were responsible and kept their word to repay a loan is one of the most disgusting things I've heard.

Or we shouldn’t stop killing Black people because it wouldn’t be fair to all those already dead. The concept is worse than ridiculous. It’s irretrievably stupid.

You could always rebate people for past payments on student loans and give reparations for those imprisoned for marijuana-related convictions. We don't HAVE to limit ourselves to just correcting the present. Remember, money isn't the problem. We just need to WANT to do it.
