If they payback student loans they better give all us poor fucks that had to work out of highschool a chance to go for free because that is some bullshit.

My state offers free 2 year college and it's a backward-ass state. 20 states so far have similar programs.

And remember something here: almost nobody who is getting forgiveness is getting "free college." Some of us have been paying on these loans for a LONG time. Some will still have 10-15 years more to pay on them even after 10k is taken off.

Plenty of people who went to college were "poor fucks" who had to work out highschool. My wife is one of those people. Plenty of people out there who took out loans but never finished college and are busting their asses working "poor fuck" jobs while ALSO having massive debt from the student loans that never amounted to any degree.

It's not quite the "free ride" you think it is.
