One thing thing I noticed about forgiven student loan news stories...

How many Rebublican children and/or families have taken school loans to go to college or higher learning institutions?
If their loans are forgiven, are they happy about it or are they refusing the loan forgiveness? I hear so much about Republicans whining about the whole thing and no stories about them getting their loans forgiven and celebrating it. Can anyone point me to some stories about that?

Republicans don't like education and see little value in it, the thought of free higher education makes them crazy. If your parents aren't well heeled enough to pay for your college, you should just forget it and get a job. My sister, a school teacher, spent most of her working career paying back student loans. Of course on the grand amount of money that school teachers make, it was not an inconvenience.

It is OK to give money to corporations through massive tax breaks or grants, but to send the money of the people, who actually pay the taxes, back to them is some kind of Communist sin.

Republicans believe whatever their corporate masters tell them. It is the magic of propaganda.
