> we should (unfairly!) help people who are being destroyed by debt
The plans are to forgive 10K of debt per person. There is a crazy suggestion of forgiving 50K of debt per person but let's just ignore that (it costs more than a trillion).
People who owe 100K are still fucked. They did go to better schools, though, so they have better jobs. Many also have good connections, because they have an easier time networking with their connections.
Wanna know who is more fucked?
Many people who didn't take loans and went to no-name schools and are working low paying jobs and have few social connections.
If we give money to either group it's a handout. For these politicians to pretend it's not a handout because it's forgiving a loan is disingenuous.
Elon Musk isn't wrong to poke fun at Elizabeth Warren. Let's just hope it doesn't result in another Trumpist president.
