On: 59% of Americans worry student loan forgiveness will make inflation worse

>Forgive these kids loans, who were just trying to go to college to learn and gain job skills to compete in the world and are now debt slaves.

Nah. Those kids spent 4 years partying and treating adult life like an extension of high school with no consequences and free rent. I graduated highschool in ‘08, and I can clearly remember wondering how in the hell all of my friends on social media were living the lives they were, as I scraped by working minimum wage jobs in the depths of the recession.

I’m all for forgiving things like nurses and teachers who meet some public service requirements, but the people who spent $100k they didn’t have on a Communication degree can cry me a river.

I agree. But I also think that they should be able to bankrupt out of them like Trump and many other rich people have done numerous times.

Trapping students into non-bankruptable student loans is pure debt slavery.

Then every student will just declare bankrupty when they graduate and already have non-existent credit.

You mean just like how rich people bankrupt out of their failed loans and then the taxpayers bail out the banks?
