16. Nice strawman. How about you actually address the arguments they are making?

And, for the record, when one person is saying they need help, it's pretty shitty and unprogressive to say "No, because there are other people that tangentially similar that need help." Address the call for help on the merits of the call for help. My son graduated college with no debts because my wife and I were able to cover it in addition to scholarships he got (his sister has some debt due to a semester abroad and grad school, but nowhere near the average student debt). I'm fine with not getting any money back for paying for my son's college if we forgive student loans because I was able to do it. Others aren't. And what we have done to the cost of education and the loan process overall is deplorable.

But, yeah, they want a Ferrari, for fuck's sake.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
