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.

It’s not unfair if they also make it tuition free

Canceling student loan debt is absolutely ridiculous!!! That’s like saying cancel my mortgage..... cancel my car payment. Oh I shouldn’t have to pay for food, water, heat, gas.....why pay for anything .... let the government pay for everything total BS. That is communist.

Then give reparations to people jailed for marijuana offences.

They say that, too. They say anything really to disguise the truth that guides policy.

Could always offer tax breaks to those who have paid off within the last 5-10 years. Might mitigate the salt

Give this one up, it will never happen. It would guarantee a conservative take over next election.

Making me pay for my education, then yours isn't fair. If you can't see that, you might be a democratic national socialist.

What would you suggest for me? We put two kids thru university, in spite of not finishing high school myself. My wife and I both scrimped and saved for decades to do this. Should I have just bought more stuff for myself and then asked government to cover for me?
