        @DavidLat @atlblog @esfuchs It's the T20 sense of entitlement that someone is just going to hand them a job. Work hard and shut the F up.

        @DavidLat @esfuchs isn't the tax bomb simply discharged debt... So 200k added to Gross income? Then rate applied. Likely not 6 figure.

        @AlexanderPasso @esfuchs I believe there are some potential fixes in the works to address this issue.

        @DavidLat @esfuchs I'm sure there has been a push to address this issue. Illogical to impose a tax on a forgiveness program.
