I couldn't agree more. I'm in the same bucket. My wife and I worked hard, scrimped and saved, lived way below our means, and paid off our student debt ~15 years early.
But now people want us to have to pay everyone else's debt too, through our taxes?
The only way this could possibly be fair is if they offer some kind of credit for loans already paid.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoThat's still not fair. Let's say I worked two jobs to put myself through college. I only could attend half time, so it took me eight years. I'm going to pay taxes to subsidize those who took out loans? How is that fair? Or, I never went to college. I just started working right after high school. I make less than those who went to college. I'm going to pay taxes for this? How is that fair?
- D13Fd 5y agoGreat points, I agree. I worked through undergrad and lived at home myself, so really I should have thought of that.
