Making the beer-drinking louts pay for another person's college education is punishment for them. What's next? Make them pay for other people's kids too?No it's not but we're not talking about muffins. Student loan forgiveness is basically penalizing those that are personally responsible. And in a nutshell, that's been the agenda of the democratic party for as long as I can remember. Penalize the responsible, reward the irresponsible.
I suppose I can argue that I'm being punished for getting two advanced degrees while the rest of the louts were drinking beer and working for minimum wage, since I then had to pay more in taxes than they made in a year. I'm sure you can relate.
We tend to reward irresponsibility in this country. See: Covid. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying that at the end of the day, I'm not willing to cut off my nose to spite my face.
Agreed about rewarding irresponsibility. Better to educate the ignorant and punish the guilty.
