    That’s not the only reason to oppose this.

    All Bidens solution does is take money from the tax payers to pay off the predatory lenders.

        I’m not super familiar with how it’s suppose to work, but do they even need “taxpayer’s money?” Couldn’t they just decide the debt is paid (or like remove $10,000) and then call it a day?

        Cut off the interest and have borrowers pay back the initial loan.

        Predatory lenders get shafted for being pieces of shit. Students get a huge break. The rest of the country doesn’t feel taken advantage of.

        But that’ll never happen because profits > people.

        Reep what you sow and pay your fucking loan back at the agreed terms at the time of signing.

        Personal responsibility is a bitch. Only irresponsible people want loan forgiveness.

      Predatory lenders? Biden’s plan largely targeted federal loans. That shit was pretty regulated and had very low interest rates. A pay day loan it was not.

          Well, consider that we also live in a world where American school districts, in major metro areas, are literally opening up low income housing dorms for teachers, so teachers can afford to subsist on a teacher’s salary.

          Low interest doesn’t mean much when you can’t even pay your rent with a job that requires a college education.
