What a dumb ass come back in that tweet. Curing cancer after many have died doesn't negatively affect anyone. It doesn't leave anyone feeling bitter and it doesn't punish responsibility.
Take two people graduating with the same amount of debt. Person A forgoes buying a big house, new car, take vacations, etc... in order to pay off their student loan early and end up paying less overall. Person B pays as little as possible on their loan, spends their money on a luxury car, goes on trips frequently, and keeps a fukk off money stash. The day Person A pays off their loan Person B has their loan forgiven. Person B is now in a much better situation than person A even though they were not as fiscally responsible.
Person A takes out the equity in their home at a very low rate to pay for their kids college and Person B just tells their kids to max out loans. Person B has their kids loans forgiven while Person A is stuck with the debt.
By doing a blanket forgiveness without any sort of consideration for other people you leave a lot of folks not only bitter but actually in a worse situation than the people who just let the loans sit there. I personally know a woman who has an ass load of loans but is on a very low payment plan because she don't even try to pay it off. If her shyt gets forgiven that's a slap in the face to everyone who actually paid.
If they gonna do forgiveness they need a tax credit for other folks who paid their off or have paid for years.
You see how hard of a time they having now when all they need to do is cut a check to everyone. There is no way they would work through everything involved in forgiving loans without pissing off a sizable portion of the population. Not only couldn't they do it but they wouldn't because the people most for it are the group of people least likely to vote.
