1/2 Forgiving all federal student loan debt is an economic stimulant that would cost half a trillion less than the 2017 tax cut which gave 83 cents of every dollar to the richest corporations and individuals and will never pay for itself.

2/2 It's strange that some people are so upset at the idea their tax money would pay for somebody else to get an education, but seem to have no problem at all how much of their tax dollars go to people who use it to buy their 3rd penthouse and second private jet.

Also taxes don't fund spending at the federal level so really nobody's tax dollars are funding anything. They are not customers and they are no more entitled to speak to a manager than the next person. Its time to bury that framing for good.

The same people upset about it also got PPP loans for their businesses and podcasts forgiven in the greatest wealth transfer in history. Some people just want to have an underclass to look down on.

No, It鈥檚 about fundamental fairness. Cancellation should accompany retroactive reimbursements but that鈥檚 not sensible. Let鈥檚 not cancel anything.

Mw, the freebie, irresponsible, inconsiderate, lackadaisical, student with a student loan offers nothing. Amazon employs +60,000. Rich because they earned their money, put in the hours, & did what you haven't done, be successful. Voters voted in the political education system.

I know you have spoken with @StephanieKelton, did you forget that Federal taxes do not & cannot pay for any US Govt spending. US citizens don't finance US Govt spending, US Govt spending finances US citizens first. US Govt doesn't need an income to spend, it's self-financed.
