-How much are people in the trades "paying" for student loans? Taxes don't work like this.

-Our society relentlessly holds people "accountable" for all kinds of things in all manner of unfair ways. Legally, economically, medically -- people are constantly held accountable. "Morals" will not change because student loans are forgiven. Also comparing rich people bailouts to student loan forgiveness is laughable.

-I'm not sure what the point is here? Also unemployment rate is very very low in the latest jobs report.

-Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good. We'll never solve any problems if every solution needs to fix the underlying system.

-How much taxes do you pay for others' student loans? This is not how taxes work. I'd be interested in your sources here.

-Is "victim" mentality becoming more common or are the injustices of our society becoming more obvious with better communication technologies? Again, our society relentlessly moralizes everything. Forgiving student loans isn't going to change anything but the borrowers economic participation and quality of life.
