And here I've been working all my life and paying off my debts like an honest sap.

It isn't debt relief. It's wealth redistribution. Say no to socialism.

[Freedomtospeak]

You borrowed it. You should repay.

My beef is that taxpayers will foot the bill and I’m not ok. If this administration wants to redistribute money then let’s give a lot less to Isreal and Ukraine.

Curiously.. how much money do these other countries kick in?
Nada

Those waiting to be lifted up, will never stand on their own.

While the rich got PPP loans and got forgiveness. I guess we need to put a stop to all loan forgiveness then. That includes the rich.

[painkillerjones]

GOOD!!! Pay your own debts, you SCHOLARS!!!

[YUMLiberalTears]

You mean to tell me I shouldn't have spent the entire pandemic getting high and playing Call of Duty while collecting unemployment and should have found a job? The outrage!

[markkramer]

A contract taken up by a one person needs to be paid off by that person only, not everyone else who enjoys no benefits of the contract. This simple commonsense obligation seems too much to be ignored from some segment of society.

In a couple of weeks America will tell you what we think of the Democrat policies.

Those fools want ALL of 1.4 trillion dollars in student debt eliminated. Imagine the entitlement it must take. 10, 000 is not enough for them. They shouldn't even get a dime. You signed the loan, not me.

Biden's crowd shows up in the 10's.

[sdontmovl]

Yes and they should. never borrow more than you can pay back.

[James-dtexTexas]

When a Democrat says someone is being hypocritical, it’s because they know exactly what that is !

[Livinguud]

Good, they shouldn’t get a penny. Get to

[TheJohnnyCarter]

Nothing is free people you work for it

[James-dtexTexas]

Sure, why not ! Let’s just spend more money than we AGAIN !!!

I don’t want to pay for someone else’s college degree. No way!

People who don't smoke should be forced to purchase cigarettes for those who do. Makes sense right?

[robertdietz]

Where was this outrage by those who don’t have kids while others got child tax credits in the thousands? I guess getting relief for making life choices only counts when people didn’t pull out soon enough compared to those who did.
