Do you support the universal cancellation of student debt?

Also, do you think the (mostly) younger generation deserves a break?
If possible, would you elaborate on your answer?

no, because it's lunacy to instead put that burden on taxpayers who are already struggling in todays shit economy...

forcing people who've worked all their lives, in some cases even multiple jobs, many without a college degree to pay the student debt of some punk that thinks they're too good to work a blue collar job? fuck that...

some punk that thinks they're too good to work a blue collar job?

Am i sensing a little insecurity there? Or do you genuinely see people with post secondary education vs those without in such 1 dimensional terms?

@Pikachu what insecurity? two engineering degrees here, yet I'm not afraid to shovel shit. But I don't think my retired parents should be burdened by increased taxes to pay off the debts of some kid that's too afraid to get a job and get his hands dirty...

Me too. One university, one college and for the past 7 years i've been working both with the degree i earned and about 3/4 of the year, a very physically demanding job.

So if you have higher degrees and i have higher degrees but aren't afraid to shovel shit...what makes you decide that these "punks" think they're too good to get their hands dirty?
Is that the only reason you can think of that someone would struggle to pay off student debt?🤨
