@Utah44 Education is a societal benefit.
Some of those being forgiven have already paid back 2 or 3 times what they borrowed, yet still owe 10's of thousands. I guess some think we should only bail out millionaires and billionaires, not people who really need help.
I have more than one degree and had small loans I paid off. I also attended college when school was more affordable. I do not in any way resent these reductions/ erasures of school debt for others. I do mind handouts to the rich.
