1/ Just to be clear, more people educated means more people making money means a more expanded economy for everyone. More people shackled with loans means less money circulating and a more constricted economy for everyone.

2/2017 $2T tax cut where 83 cents of every dollar went to the wealthiest corporations and individuals will never pay for itself, and only increased income inequality.

3/ Forgiving a $1.5T student loan debt will put money in the pockets of everyday people and decrease income inequality. THAT is why all the propaganda against it. It has nothing to do with money, but with power - which is why the student loan system was created to begin with.

I worked my ass off and paid mine off. I took on the loans myself, nobody made me. I didn’t expect anyone to pay them off for me. Do I get a refund? Should my mortgage get paid off instead. Is college now free for my kids? Maybe interest forgiveness is a sane middle ground

It has everything to do with money. 1. Millions who didn’t go to college will be forced to pay the cost for those who did. 2. “Forgiving” college loans will do nothing to lower college costs, which have skyrocketed due to profligate lending by the federal student loan program.
