    That’s not the only reason to oppose this.

    All Bidens solution does is take money from the tax payers to pay off the predatory lenders.

      Who owns the debt for federal student loans?

      I’ll wait while you learn the answer is, “Department of Education.”

      Is the Department of Education a predatory lender?

        Reep what you sow and pay your fucking loan back at the agreed terms at the time of signing.

        Personal responsibility is a bitch. Only irresponsible people want loan forgiveness.

        Cut off the interest and have borrowers pay back the initial loan.

        Predatory lenders get shafted for being pieces of shit. Students get a huge break. The rest of the country doesn’t feel taken advantage of.

        But that’ll never happen because profits > people.

      Predatory lenders? Biden’s plan largely targeted federal loans. That shit was pretty regulated and had very low interest rates. A pay day loan it was not.
