Where's the equity?

[neil]

The Left supposedly advocates for equity, but does it count with student loan debt relief? Not as far as I'm aware.

There are plenty of college students who don't have any student debt either because they've paid it off, or they paid out of their own pocket (like me) to pay for college. There are also those who chose not to put themselves into student debt and missed out on getting college degrees for themselves that they could've used to get a better paying job (and that in itself undermines equity).

Let's see whether the Left is really pro-equity by calling for everyone who doesn't get the privilege of free money from student loan debt relief to each receive $20,000.

Is any politician from the 'Right' "calling for anyone who doesn't get the privilege of free money from student debt relief to each receive $20,000"?

Man, look how many hoops did you had to jump through to end up being the victim...

Ah, the "sour grapes" argument.

Is that really the best you can do?

The OP is woefully cognizant of the difference between equity and equality.

The OP is trying to admonish folks on the Left for failing to call for equity in the Loan Forgiveness Program but they are confused and actuality are talking about equality in how they see it should go with $20,000 going to students who have already paid off their loans or never had loans.

So there is that.

Bummer - "Federal appeals court temporarily halts Biden’s student debt relief program": https://debatepolitics.com/threads/...s-biden’s-student-debt-relief-program.494357/

I hope Biden eventually does get his student debt relief program so either I can get my share of $20,000 out of the deal or to watch the Left struggle to try to justify why I shouldn't get my share of $20,000.
