I've seen the (but what about corporations) deflecting comment so many times it's become something that just annoys me. It has often times been stated in a manner that comes off as folks questioning (or blatantly against) student loan debt forgiveness are somehow perfectly fine with billion dollar bailouts or tax breaks for corporations. Absolute bullshit angle, in my eyes. Corporations have a lot of money and lot of experience in managing their money. If they fail to do so, that's on them. It shouldn't be on the citizens to bail them out. Massive difference between young adults signing their names to debt vs corporations. Not even in the same ballpark. Period. That's that.
How many students are told they'll graduate and earn X amount and it'll be easy to repay the student loan? I know my college tried that with me. Telling me to come back for my Bachelors and I can earn X amount. I told them I was on Associates Degree making just under that. So, I asked, why should I pay another $60k in student loans to only make a few thousand more in a year? Especially considering after one more year I'll be earning what you dangled in front of me?
I'm not special ... I was just an old-ass student in my late 20s whereas a lot these kids are just coming out of high school. This is also why I am able to show compassion for student loan debt forgiveness.
My questions posed in the original post remain.

Now the first time I knew what I was signing up for as I knew with the school hours I wouldn't be able to work a full-time job so I took out loans to live off of. I knew exactly what I was signing up for and knew I had to pay it back.
Now, these kids getting 10 to 20 grand given to them for forgiveness is complete BS. They knew what they were signing up for and select a major they knew wouldn't be a real job. Yes, I agree the price of schooling is outrageous, and if the government truly wants to help the students they should set the prices these schools can charge.
And about the comments about the checks, Biden had written is totally different than the ones Biden is writing. Trump wrote checks to help the lower and middle classes. Biden is writing these checks to line the pockets of his buddies and to help boost China. Don't you think it's funny how much money is being sent to Ukraine even with our inflation going crazy? Ukraine has the goods on him just like China so he has to help them. This last bill of lowering inflation is a joke as it will raise it and help develop his army that will be coming for us all, this is what socialism looks like and it is 95% implemented the only thing left for them is to get the guns. They have the propaganda machine with the media, they have the schools to program the kids to follow suit and lastly they now control what you can say. For people that think I'm crazy look up the Alinsky's 8 steps of socialism and yes is the same guy that Clinton and Obama have been quoted as saying they admire him. Here are the steps and think about each one.
1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people - Obamacare
2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live. - Inflation is so high you have to choose between gas and food
3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty. - Looks familiar? remember the 87,0000 new armed irs agents being hired?
4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. - they are trying very hard but they can't get it done
5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income). Student bailout is the latest
6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.
- indoctrinate your kids and tell you that you don't have a say in what they teach your kids. remember how the FBI now tracks parents that make threats at board meetings?
7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools. - No god in the federal courts and now Catholics are the extremists.
8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor. Not using money but using the political parties right now, if you backed Trump your a racist and a threat to democracy. (side note we are not a democracy we are a republic 😉 )
So as you see we are almost there and don't forget the open borders to help bring in the people needed to finish the job.
But here is a better version and updated to this year
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
