Here we have a rare case of not only a false equivalency, but equivalencies that make no sense whatsoever.

Student loan forgiveness needs to be framed
focusing on the Universities, instead of the students.
Everyone needs to be asking - why in the age of digital information does the price for an education at a University keep getting more expensive? We need to direct the anger of the students at the universities where it belongs.
Edit: And why are universities charging so much for a product that has very little return value?
The real facts are that most borrowers are between 35-60 years old and they’ve struggled with student debt for 3-4 decades. That’s the facts!! Like these people👇🏼👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/Qqa53ngxa1

To pay for inflated salaries. If you have a PhD in any regular liberal arts related degree, agriculture, or any discipline that doesn't have a legitimate ROI for the people being taught, you shouldn't be making more than a radiological tech so around 60-100k. You're just not that useful, and I know about the ****ty flluff grants you look for to justify your existence.
Higher education is generally a scam, and the professors know it.

I'll take example on top left...borrowed $26,000 at let's say 6%. That's about $130 in interest a month. How can you pay $90,000 and owe $89,000 at this point?

Don't want any student debt? Do what I did.
I applied for a 4 year Army Scholarship and had a job right after college.
Had to??? That mentality combined with the government should not be in the loan business is the problem.GeorgiAg said:
"asst prof @uchicago | sociologist of gender, religion, migration, Muslims in US"I should have never had to go into debt to go to college. I came from a household with an income of less than $30K for 3 people. I went to a *public* university. It was unjust to charge me $45K a year. It was unjust that I had to take on ~$50K of student loans. #CancelStudentDebt

I say again, we must praise the Notorious RBG. But for her ego, her sense of being the indispensable person, and believing her own press that caused her to refuse to retire when she could, RBG created this Ruthless 6-3 conservative majority. Thank you, Ruth.

Lives in a $1.1 million home, and net worth north of $1.5 and complains about a student loan she hasn’t paid off. Either she lying or she bad at managing money. https://t.co/qRi3dtQQ61

I did the same with my four year enlistment in the Marines. I went to UT (cheap at the time) and I even lived with my folks during my freshman year to keep costs down. There are many ways to avoid being burdened with a ton of school debt.Quote:
I received a 4 year army scholarship. Don't know how the student loan repayment works.
The options are there if you work hard enough for them.
So we know none of these people got an economics, finance, accouting, or math degree.Bob Lee said:I think what's happening is the amount of interest they're not paying is being tacked on to the principal balance. Negative amortization. The minimum payment doesn't cover the interest owed.Aggie95 said:I must be missing something...how is this possible?GeorgiAg said:
