This is an epic video. The sound is a little rough, so read the article first. Apparently this man is pissed off that he did the right thing, worked double shifts and made huge sacrifices to pay off his daughter’s college debt. And he gets nothing. Other people who earn more money than him and never struggled get their debt paid off. If they get paid, he believes that he should get paid. And why not? This is problem will not go away for Liz.
Because his loan does not get to be forgiven. Those who used their money for cars and vacations get the money. It’s a scheme that will piss off millions of people.
My college loans are paid off and at 33 I have 50 grand saved up for my kids’ college. They will at leaat have a significant portion—if not all of undergrad—paid for.
I fully support student loan forgiveness and/or publicly funded college and don’t expect anything to be “paid back.”
They got a college education. So what if other people after them get theirs paid for? It affects them in no way and more people get unsaddled with crushing debt. I fully support this.
My mom has Medicare and Humana. She needs a medication that costs $650, of which Medicare only covers $120 and Humana won’t cover because they say a generic would do just as well - which her doctor tells them it won’t.
But because she has Medicare and insurance, I can’t use those coupon things given out by such companies as Singlecare to get 91% off the medication, which apparently people not on Medicare or without insurance can use.
So those folks who have nothing, get to pay nothing, and my mom who has Medicare and insurance has to pay $530 a month. (Cost went up $200 a month at the beginning of the year, which is why I’ve just found out about all this stuff.)
