Is by the swarm of establishment media institutions coming out against it. Because they’re “worried” about inflation. Or they’re “concerned” about moral hazard.
They can kiss my motherfucking ass.

counterpoint: I paid off my student debt in 1981 and I think it's fucking awesome that student debt relief is happening now. maybe it's because I'm not a score-settling whiny grievance-baby

Hey @DrOz, why are you against student debt cancellation now? You seemed to support it back in 2017.
You know, before you started pretending to be from PA. pic.twitter.com/rpYegNJcZH

Maybe you don't believe me when I say that the math doesn't support claims that debt relief is inflationary. But the socialists at, um, Goldman Sachs reach the same conclusion 1/ https://t.co/WCJEVbl05d

As Biden cancels (some) student debt, remember why the debt exists. A key Reagan advisor warned in 1970 that free college was producing the dangerously explosive "dynamite" of an "educated proletariat," and "we have to be selective on who we allow to go through higher education": pic.twitter.com/SWqZFRRTuN

This is the one, the fucking bud that should have been nipped,
“A key Reagan advisor warned in 1970 that free college was producing the dangerously explosive “dynamite” of an “educated proletariat,”
The never popular, “user fee,” approach to education, swallowed whole by a credulous nation scared by watching students (like me) marching against the war in Viet Nam and some of them (‘oh my god, how could this happen’) being murdered for it.
For profit education, like for profit healthcare, the stroll down anti-democracy lane to where we are today. Fuck republicans forever.

I’ll remind folks of what I’ve posted before: in 1960 you could pay for a full year at the University of Minnesota with SIX WEEKS at a minimum wage job.
Student debt is a consequence of the systematic defunding of higher education, not bad borrower decisions. #CancelStudentDebt
