(CNN)   The Supreme Court's upcoming student loan case is about much, much more than student loans. For example, it's also about the wealthy being able to maintain a permanent underclass of debt slaves. Lots at stake   (cnn.com) divider line

Republicans would burn this country down before they allow any poor person relief.

When I talk about this with my parents, I make a point of specifiying which party is forgiving my debt, and which one wants to see me bleed dry trying to pay it off.  It goes in one ear and out the other, tho......gggrrr

Go ahead. Tank student loan forgiveness. Wall street will never get another bail out from Congress ever again.

Go on. Do it. Set that precedent.

At this point I say Biden just clears it all and asks Scrotus to "enforce their ruling". At this point the economy is going to tank anyway so why not get some benefit from it.

Why don't you give up your avocado toast and lattes for a week, zoomer? Maybe then you can pay society back.

Kidding aside, I'd like to see some legislation around people who consolidated their student loans some time ago so it's no longer technically a student loan. They were trying to deal with the environment as it was, and could use some relief too.

If I can't get that, I'll be annoyed, but not annoyed enough to sink it for other people. I hope you kids get it better than we did, and I don't mind a portion of my taxes going to that.
