Fiscally Conservatives? Where are these people you speak of?
This is basically a tax cut for the college educated youth to give them more freedom and mobility. After a couple decades of spending on Wars, Banks and Billionaires, why not give handouts to this generation?
- ajross 7y agoOne good reason is that a $1.6T handout to the "young and educated but not quite poor" is the wrong demographic. If you want to spend that money on an inequality fix (and I agree, we should spend that money on an inequality fix) it should be aimed farther down the ladder. But it's better than nothing.

I see forgiving this 1.6T in debt without correcting that system of injustice as compounding injustice even more.
- lallysingh 7y agoI don't think the very poor make up much of the voting population.
- supercanuck 7y agoAre we trying to solve inequality? Look at demographics the millennials are the largest voting group now surpassing the boomers. Student Loans debt is killing them. Millennials are poor compared to their counterparts. Seems good politics if anything. This idea that democrats or republicans are looking for solutions to fix the country is laughable at this point.
