This Picture Will Make You Think Forgiving Student Debt Isn't So Crazy After All

147. Why?

I paid off my loans too but why should I get paid again? The deal was I got the money to go to college and I pay back that money. I kept my part of the bargain, they kept their party of the bargain.

Because someone else has different circumstances and even though they are paying, they can't keep up, does not mean I should get paid back for paying off my loans.

I don't believe the entire world should suffer and never be allowed to be forgiven their debt because I happened to be able to pay off my debt. That is just ridiculous. Should I be paid back for paying off my medical debt because someone goes to a free clinic? Should I be given all the money I spent on food back because some poor family gets free food from the food bank?

Did you know that at one time Bill Gates got FREE computer time (back when he was in high school, computer time cost). While I had to pay my school to allow me to use their computer. Should I get paid back? Michelle Bachman got farm subsidies for her father's farm. He used the money to build barns. I bought my property with a barn already on it. Should I get paid back for the added cost on my land for the value of the barn?

Because someone else gets a break does not mean I should get reimbursed because I didn't get the exact same break.

You and I were lucky to be able pay off our school debt but some people are NOT as lucky.
