In reply to the discussion: Warren: "Unfairness" of loan relief is like saying no to SS because prior generations didn't have it [View all]Happy Hoosier
(7,308 posts)I think a reasonable argument would be about tuition free college in the future. That would apply relatively evenly.
When talking about loan forgiveness, however, it does kind snub folks who sacrificed to save for their kids' college when their neighbors might have done otherwise.
I am in that position. My buddy has always bought the latest gizmo and gadget. Trades in his car every 5 years, etc. Me? I have been saving for college since my kid was a baby.
My buddy complains now about his student loans, but he is hopeful it gets forgiven. Me? I guess I get that warm feeling knowing I did the right thing? Kinda cold comfort.
Perhaps some kind of benefit for those who sacrificed to save?
And as a note.... if this doesn't get a universal support HERE, then how do you think it plays to the general electorate? (answer: Not great).
Maybe it's better to start with zeroing out interest? I'd be okay with that.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
