Now that student borrowers aren't getting a "free ride", I want PPP loan recipients to be required to pay back the full amount, plus say, 9% interest, retroactively. Why should my tax dollars pay for your free business loan?

Please, think of the billionaires /s

Student loan forgiveness doesn't go far enough. We need to overhaul the higher education system to rein in the cost of tuition. I mean, regardless of where you stand on student loan forgiveness, can we at least all agree that a bachelor's degree costing anywhere near six figures is absurd?

This quote from Pence is so unbelievably infuriating.

Joe Biden’s massive trillion-dollar student loan bailout subsidizes the education of elites on the backs of hardworking Americans

Good to know all of the millennial and gen z college graduates earning less than $125,000 per year and struggling in an awful economy are "elites" and not "hardworking Americans."

Since I'm now apparently an elite, do I get a membership card in the mail?

5 rich people sign a paper saying it's cool if they die in a shitty submarine, they do, and we spent millions trying to find them.

But people actually need help and we could improve our society and economy in numerous ways, and we can't do that.

I hate this place so God damn much.

aw geez

edit:

America: We need to reduce cost of education!

Government: Hey let's put our taxes towards cheaper education!

America: no.

America, can you explain?

America, can you explain?

The system is rigged by the greediest people in the country.

Wouldn't it just be so cool to live in a society where people cared about their neighbors?

Well that’s definitely unfortunate. People are already tightening their belts, this can’t be good for the economy.

I guess the only way to get your loans forgiven is to become a Supreme Court justice and have your assigned billionaire pay them off.

Or take out a PPP loan.
