As someone who never needed to take loans because of academic scholarships, you can go fuck your self.
Predatory education loans have placed a huge burden on the middle and lower classes in this country. Just because you made the poor financial decision to take a private loan, doesn’t mean other people should also have to suffer.
I was in higher education for ten years. I paid my way through using a combination of private savings, and eventually my father convinced my boss to pay for my education if he wanted me to work full time (I was a REALLY good employee at his small business). I fortunately graduated debt-free unlike most of my peers.
Yes, I worked my way through, and I “earned” my degree the hard way (I made my boss millions through my own hard work for his company so I earned that degree).
But, I still 100% support any kind of student debt relief for everyone struggling to pay off student debt. It’s called wanting a better life for my fellow human. That money in their wallet would be better spent in the local economy, not paid to some mega bank corporation swallowing up interest on student debt.
I guess I just have compassion for my fellow human being over some ruthless corporation.
