Opinion: Student loan payoff is either right thing to do or a political ploy, say opposing sides [Opinion]
Re “Some kick themselves for paying off loans” : A majority of college grads like me worked two, even three, jobs to pay our way to graduation. Then, no one got free money like Joe Biden is giving away to eliminate college debt.
A better plan would be to make some kind of national service a requirement to reduce one’s debt. Why can’t Democrats ever consider common sense and fairness? Oh yeah, it is election time.Why are Republicans complaining about this program? Most are followers of Jesus. He preached about the workers who started the day at an agreed price/pay. More workers came at midday, and later more workers started one hour before quitting.
The same is true for the students’ loans. They agreed on a price. Some paid it back, others are still paying. If those who are still paying benefit from the forgiveness program, good for them. Nobody has been cheated. The Republicans make it sound as if some students were cheated. We should be happy for these students, not disgruntled. Following Jesus’ teachings will make you happy.
