Honestly I do not get it. Shouldn't the people with college degrees forgive a debt for a car by some McDonald's worker?
It seems bass ackwards to me.
I'm not trolling I really want to know why people who never took out loans to go to college should pay for someone who could triple their minimum wage jobs salary?
How is it logical?

The US Government is not some GoFundMe project. Every single one of us pays for something in this country we will never ever use ourselves.
Schooled people without debt are great for a country and attractive to people from other countries to come study and live there. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Obviously I don't expect op to be able to think further than "mah dolla", since he is a minimum wage worker without schooling. Exactly the kind of people we should get rid of.
Simply put: because these people are more important than you. Hope this helps.
Could someone explain how this is going to work to a non American? Have the predatory lenders been shut down? Will the government pay for everyone's uni now?
Actually I went to a trade school, paid my debt, and make a really good living.
Should I get 10k because I'm a productive member of society? And I did work minimum wage jobs when I was in school.
More important how? Gender studies degree?
No. It's a one time forgiveness used primarily to get votes. Everyone before and after get nothing. This is how to solve the problem of people taking on debt they cannot afford.
because the McDonalds worker isn't paying any federal income taxes. you know who is? people with college degrees
Then why do they need forgiven for the debt they willingly signed on for? As far as I recall, McDonald's workers pay taxes too.
i know you learned from fox news that this is what all those crazy college kids are doing, but in the real world, there are almost no gender studies majors
And... I pay about 30% of my gains(not including capital gains) in taxes. I paid for my own teaching. Should I get a 10k refund? Or should I get more because I've been a better taxpayer?
Of course you don’t
no student debt in Russia Vlad
So why do they need forgiveness?
>Gender studies degree
This is probably the only college major you can name, right?
It’s literally how you know you’re talking to a boomer
Because it has nothing to do with helping students, and everything to do with transferring tax money to the Megacorp banks and colleges HOLDING that debt.
For most people I know, $10,000 is a drop in the bucket of their student debt. It gets them one year closer, out of 20, to being debt free.
If they REALLY wanted to help students with heavy debt, they'd let that debt be discharged in a bankruptcy, like any other debt.
No. But does a lawyer making 100-200k a year really need a 10k debt forgiveness?
>How is it logical?
If you've ever read a wikipedia article, then you understand the value of having educated people in your country. It's worth paying for some student debt forgiveness.
Finally someone with a brain.
>I wouldn't be surprised if user didn't have a degree
>McDonald's workers pay taxes too
again, no. they pay state taxes and federal payroll taxes, not federal income taxes. they are not net contributors to the federal budget
which is okay! i'm not holding it against them. just pointing out that you're full of shit about them subsidizing college graduates.
>wikipedia
>stopped reading
Ah, so a direct transfer of money from the tax payer to Jewish bankers.
No they do. They may end up getting more back than they paid come tax time, but so do niggers with 14 kids.
>understand?
I actually don't. I have a GED. Seriously.
My brother got a four year degree in Psychology at OSU, when he was fresh out of the Army. The Army even helped pay for it. He was 52 when he paid it off, and a Maintenance man at Sears. His degree was worth exactly NOTHING.
So, you're in favor of paying me for the tools and supplies I use to make furniture and cabinets if they go into public housing?
Should I send you a bill?
Well aren't you happy to pay for someone else's? I hope your brother, who paid his debt, got a 10k refund.
I already did! Someone paid you for the furniture and wrote it off of their taxes.
If the only contribution your "educated" person has to offer their nation is Wiki articles, they should neck themselves immediately. They are a waste of Oxygen.
because the cost of attending college in the US has skyrocketed way faster than government aid has been able to keep up with, causing anyone who wants ANY kind of degree to go tens of thousands of dollars (or more) into debt. Also, getting an education really can't be equated to buying a new car; they're completely different, and if you can't see the difference on your own then maybe you should've gotten a college degree
Education should be free.
Maybe I should have.
>I need to get to work
A college degree should get me there
Public library
No, that was a couple of years ago. He, and all the other people who already paid off their loans get nothing. Just like the people who take out loans this fall, will get nothing.
>because the cost of attending college in the US has skyrocketed way faster than government aid has been able to keep up with
Huh, it's almost like this Continuing Education Industry, populated by businesses worth TRILLIONS of dollars are taking advantage of their customers and PRICE GOUGING...
