    Yes, let’s make it so people are stuck in a cycle of debt with no way out, no way to buy a home, and no way to build generational wealth.

    Not much later:

    Why aren’t they buying homes? They are killing the housing market!

    Why aren’t they buying expensive goods? They are killing the manufacturing market!

    Why aren’t they having children!?! They are killing the birth rate!!

    Why are student loans even mentioned in a bill about the FAA? Why not add a rider to fund the pornographic arts while you’re at it?

    “If Congress will stop debt relief for pilots now, they’ll do it to nurses tomorrow, teachers the next day, and social workers the day after,”

    Aaaand…? Not seeing a downside here…

      I’m assuming you forgot the /s

      If not, they should start with stopping debt relief for corporations and b/millionaires

        They were saying that this “slippery slope” of helping people get debt relief isn’t the big scary threat they statement seems to imply.

        I.e., “if we allow debt relief for pilots, what will stop them from allowing it for nurses, teachers, and social workers???” And the person is saying “I don’t see that as a problem.”

        They just misread the context of the comment.
