Are you equally upset at fossil fuel subsidies, bank bailouts, and white collar welfare? Or just against debt forgiveness for the middle class?

- arthurcolle 4y agoThey have been rolling out in stages from what I have gathered. I haven't really explored it too deeply because I was waiting for the overall framework to be made precise. Initially it was just some specific groups of people, and then they have been expanding it in stages. 6 months ago, another group of people (mostly focused on victims of for-profit college scams) received similar debt forgiveness and some sort of compensation I think (might be wrong). Some cynics are saying this has been strategically planned for the midterm elections coming up but this has been planned for a long time and honestly, its pretty cool to see something that was a talking point that actually affected me as a citizen that seemed to crystallize before and during Biden's campaign and actually come to pass in the near-future.
