Democrats have been talking about student debt relief or forgiveness for years. It’s either a scheme to get “students” to vote Democrat or a thank you for doing it already, but there is no relief, no forgiveness, and nothing is eliminated.
The Democrat plan does what just about every Democrat plan does. It shifts the burden onto someone else.
I wrote at greater length about this last week with a slightly different angle, equally valid. The cost will be added to the national debt, which you, a young person who thought they got something for nothing, will end up paying for in ways you can’t imagine.
You, a young person begging for a student loan bailout, will pay it many times over. It will come calling in every corner of your life for as long as you live. And that useless degree won’t even be worth the paper on which it might be printed.
Correction: you might be able to begin to imagine. Look at the past 18 months. Now imagine that’s worse and over decades, perhaps lifetimes.
But not just you. Everyone. Children not yet conceived will carry this burden on top of the massive debt accumulated by Washington politicians and progressives in both parties.
Reparations are the same deal. You might get a cash-out, but it will be worth less, and your descendants will pay a hefty price for that. The same goes for millions doled out for COVID “relief,” border security in Ukraine, and homosexual tolerance training in Pakistan.
The bill will come due, and someone will have to pay, and it will almost always be the people who can least afford it.
That is the legacy of “eliminating” student loan debt. It’s another lie politicians sell for goodwill in the hope that they will not be around when it is time to pay the piper.
That’s a bit longer winded than I’d planned, but you can simplify it as depicted in the meme.
It’s the Cliffs Notes, Spark Notes, or Reader’s Digest condensed version. Easier to articulate or share in a social media setting. Democrat barks about student debt, you bark back! You’re just transferring the debt onto the backs of people who don’t owe it.
The legacy of progressive largesse of which you are a willing participant.
Unless you decide to be unwilling, and what does that look like?
