Student loan debt should not be cancelled except when the school isn’t valid. It’s unfair for a plumber to pay for someone else’s degree.
But who’s the victim? It’s a victimless crime!
I’m a victim. I have to pay for it.
You also “pay” for our huge corn and gas subsidies, to bomb brown people, and to practically give away the anywhere from $80 to $200 billion in PPP loans that went straight into the pockets of the 1%, but that never seems to bother you lot.
Stop I think you’re giving him a boner
So because the government wastes money already, we should just waste more and more of it? If you break your leg, should you just go ahead and start smashing some other bones since you already broke one?
Are those spending programs also “wasteful”? Because the complaints only seem to start when they benefit the “wrong sort of people”.
I fucking just said so, didn’t I?

Gas subsidies are an economic decision to lower transport costs for industry and consumers alike, it’s why our gas prices are so much lower than practically anywhere else. Besides stunting renewable development, it’s a perfectly reasonable strategy.
Cancelling student loan debt and, ultimately, overhauling the system that puts students into said debt in the first place is also beneficial to society. More educated, intelligent, and qualified people only hurts reactionary and regressive goals.
How is canceling student loan debt helping society? Does that benefit outweigh the cost?
More college educated people will not necessarily improve society, there are many majors that provide no benefit.
School for plumbers is a thing too
Tell me you don’t know how trades apprenticeships work without telling me you don’t know how they work.
I mean, there are some schools for plumbers, but most people I know learned it through an apprenticeship. I don’t know anyone who went to plumber college or carpenter college. They learned it by doing it.
I wish I had learned more about plumbing when I was younger.

Great stuff from an excellent POTUS. Hope he’s able to continue despite the criminal GOP.
