    Mine will likely never be eliminated unless it all goes away because I make too much, and that’s totally fine by me. I want as many people to get relief as possible! Public colleges and universities should be free, and student debt should not be a thing. At least not the way it is now.

      I feel happy when someone in this position can say this instead of the ol’ “I did it so you should suffer too” to type logic haha

        Another guy who won the job lottery here. I agree that in principle we deserve relief, but we should be at the absolute back of the line. We may deserve it, but we don’t need it. A lot of people need it. Those tax dollars are better spent on the less fortunate.

          I mean, with that relief he could buy more stuff and help keep employment high, or invest his money in an ethical business to spur more job growth… which is more likely if that poster walks the talk. Regardless, college debt is just economic parasitism.

        I think it’s really worth noting that in the end, the most egregious abuse is the usury. Having to pay multiple values of the principle is the trap most people fall into.

        Hey, Y’all Qaeda. Why aren’t you focused on that sin against Gaaaaaaawd?

          Interest on student loans is crazy to begin with

          If I go to college and get a better job, then the country is already benefitting from a larger tax base from me having a better job than I would otherwise.

          So not only am I getting taxed on a larger tax base, but I’m also paying interest on a loan to get the better job lol

          I’m getting hit twice
