I have a staunchly Republican friend with a crap load of student debt

Is it fair that people my age (23) and younger are looking at 100K, 150K, 250K or more to simply get a a masters or PhD (hell even a bachelors in many cases) when many boomers and before paid fuckall in tuition in comparison?

Was it fair to force insurance companies to insure pre-existing conditions under the ACA when millions of people died before the ACA forced coverage?

Is it fair to retro-actively overturn all marijuana convictions and free the prisoners when so many before had to spend decades in prison (in some cases) back when there were still insanely draconian drug laws?



Why the hell would I begrudge human-empowerment, relief and freedom to thrive for the bottom 99% in our nation???? My family has spent silly money on the American part of my tertiary education and we support this debt relief 100% even though we do not directly benefit from it. A nation of debt slaves is a fucked up nation, and I do not want to live in a fucked up nation.

Some much wrong with the stance you take.
