Are you bitter about student loan debt relief?

I was never in huge student debt, but i have to say i am kind of bitter about it, because there are so many people that paid off their debt. A lot of people got free money

No. Not at all. Millionaires and Billionaires have been getting free money and PPP cancellations as such for a long time. Why are those who don't need it given a free pass? Here are some examples:
Marjorie Taylor Green $183,504
Steven Crowder $70,000
Matt Gaetz $482,321
Vern Buchanan $2.3million
Mike Kelly $987,237
Markwayne Mullin $1.4million
Kevin Hern $1,1million
Rep. Brett Guthrie $4.3million
Dean Phillips (D-Minn) $135,800
Roger Williams (R-Texas) $1.43million
Greg Pence $79,441
...just to name a few.,
The wealthy receive "free money" consistently and yet no one complains about that, but the middle and lower class get breaks and they are demonized and called lazy.
I'm not bitter about it at all...

When I went to college, my GI BILL paid all of it and I always had some $$ leftover from the monthly checks. IIRC...my tuition was around $30 / credit hour. Not this ungodly 300-400 per hour they are charging today.

When I drive by the college here, I see fabulous buildings designed by "name brand" architects. It just doesn't make any sense to me for colleges to have all this.....

Get back to educating young people at a cost they can afford to pay. My niece just graduated with a practically useless degree (political science) and $75,000 in student loans. IMO colleges are just ripping people off and young people fall into this trap because some of us continue to tell them that they need a degree to be successful.

Best thing since sliced bread. That $10,000 per student will encourage millions more to attend college, and will be paid back in an increased tax base, ten-fold.

No, I’m not. You’ve probably seen the list of all those GOP lawmakers who walked away from debts in the millions, many of whom have the money to settle but chose not to. These are people who voted against loan debt relief, btw. I’m bitter against that.

I worked during college, and I had parents who were in a position to help me; my only debt was to them (and I paid them back). So I was lucky that way. Not everyone is.
