No free shit for you. You take on debt, you pay it back. Education is an investment and an investment carries risk. No tax payer should bail you out.
We shouldn't be using tax money to scrape billionaires' remains out of stupidly constructed failsubs after days of worthless searching, too.
Rich people should just form their own private coast guard and pay for it themselves.
You better be saying that shit to all those businesses that got their PPP loans forgiven, otherwise kiss the blackest part of my ass.
yanno what? do that anyway. And get in a hole.
"Well they stole from you so we should be able to steal from you too!"
No.
Bootlicker. Seems pretty clear from this thread that your values are not wanted here. Leave.
I'm not the guy you responded to, but I for one am also saying that. No free gov money to any wealthy people. PPP loans, tax cuts for wealthy people, student loan forgiveness, it should all be scrapped/clawed back. Poor people need that money.
Yeah, you're "saying" it. Big deal. You know how this works, and no matter what you may "say", the rich will get the tax breaks, the loan forgiveness, the government programs, and everyone else can go fuck themselves.
So spare me.
Poor people take out student loans. What the fuck do you think those Pell Loans were that would have qualified for $20k forgiveness under this program? You've bought the "I didn't directly benefit from this, so therefore it's not beneficial to society as a whole" propaganda
That, or it's just run of the mill "I didn't get anything from this, so I don't want anybody to," with a thin veneer of false empathy.
First of all, I have $7k in loans that would be forgiven. So that ain't it.
Second of all, yeah, I'm just one dude, that's how democracy works. If I can convince you that any use of government money to serve one group of people when there's others who need it much more is wrong, then we'll be two dudes.
Edit: oh, about this
Overwhelmingly, no. Poor people don't go to college. They either don't get educated in high school to begin with, or they have family to support and can't spend 4 years not making an income, even if they could get enough loans to live off of (which is unlikely).
Middle class people get loans.
Also an investment BY DEFINITION is something assured of carrying a positive outcome down the road.
You're thinking of GAMBLING.
Don't even with your trying to muddy the waters between GAMBLING and INVESTMENT.
