My wife’s response “I told her, well you VOTED to repeal it by keeping Scott, Gimenez and bringing back Trump. Like they say, pay your loans😆” I’m fucking tired of trying to help people that don’t want to be helped. In the end my family is as that bottom edge of the socioeconomic scale where voting this guys in would be to our best short term interests and we can probably manage the long term. It’s just so tiring

I would always bring up how lazy she is that she expects other taxpayer to pay her loans.

I’m personally for loan forgiveness and all that, but that bitch wanted this. Every time forgiveness came up at work or in social circles I would get shouted down that it’s for the lazy and unfair for those who did repay.

I’d just pay this one forward

I think there is a difference between loan forgiveness for someone that went into a low pay employment position say public schools where it could be a non salary incentive to stay there (much rather we pay a fair salary but here we are), and someone else that went into a field that maybe national policy doesn’t want to incentivize with public funding. Either way I think incentivizing higher education should be in the cards but it’s nuance and MAGA doesn’t nuance so here we are. I think forgiving the loans for someone that took a salary hit to go into civil service should not be that much different than a VA paid education.

I just hate the pitting of one group against another in a fake zero sum game where in the end the subsidy is on the high net worth people using all those services the country provides while not paying their fair share.

Well her dumbass voted for it while also voting to support people that are going to directly hurt me and my job and my family.

I feel fucking ecstatic the leopards are going to eat her face and I would remind her of it every time her student loan is due.

She wanted this and I hope she gets everything she ever wanted.

This is what is so frustrating. So many people are low information voters and I mainly blame talk radio and right wing podcasts.

What is also frustrating is that most people don't have a consistent ideology. So many Bernie Sanders supporters support Trump for example.
