    Pelosi also questioned the policy wisdom of cancelling student loan debt: “Suppose…your child just decided they, at this time, [do] not want to go to college but you’re paying taxes to forgive somebody else’s obligations. You may not be happy about that." pic.twitter.com/eArtzO3xc1

        It's the same argument people are using to justify not getting vaccinated. It's gross.

        People took a loan knowing the circumstances and agreed to pay it back. Simple as that. We would all like debt forgiveness - it does not work that way. If anything, the could forgive the interest retro and call it even.

        Debt forgiveness used to be common and is incredibly beneficial.
