Student Loan Cancellation Debate

[dfrecore]

I agree with the 10k cancelation. But I don't know how I feel about the 50k. I think it is a great idea for a stimulus package. Some states had made great stride to better upper education access. We need to probably expand the Pell Grant program. The lower-middle class is in an awkward position where they make too much for the grant but too little to actually afford college.

How would that work in terms of folks who recently paid off student loans?  

Plenty of them struggled and scrimped to pay off their debt.  Some delayed marriage and kids, worked multiple jobs, skipped buying a home and/or made other sacrifices in the interest of financial responsibility.  Would they get $10,000 back?

This is like "I had cancer and had to endure that and beat it to survive" after a cancer cure. Just because you struggled doesn't mean you should want everyone to struggle. If you paid it off, great, you were one of the ones that didn't get eat up by the system. Reducing student debt can make a tremendous difference for a lot of people.
The world is suppose to want to improve things for the next generation, not be pissed that they're not suffering as much as the generation before it.

This isn't ANYTHING like that.  This is "we're screwing over everyone who didn't make bad choices"; coming out with a cure for cancer is just luck, it's not done on purpose.
