    I’d rather pay taxes and get healthcare, education, roads, safety nets, social security, armies, research, etc. This can happen. Other countries do it.

    Republicans are the ones that say government doesn’t work…and when they are elected they work hard to make sure this is true.

    Biden tried to give the working class student loan forgiveness. Republicans stopped it. He is trying again to make this happen for the working class. And I’m sure Republicans are trying to stop it.

      Other countries do it.

      And the U.S. is subsidizing their defense. So of course they have money to spend on these things.

      But you are paying taxes and not getting those things.

      I don’t even know how student loan forgiveness would even work, won’t other generations also have student debt? What about people who already paid for their schooling? Will they get a rebate? Will my kids get their student loans paid for too?

      It’s such a ridiculous policy, it makes no sense whatsoever.

      Can I get mortgage forgiveness?

        We’re paying taxes and could be getting more of these things if republicans didn’t try so hard to stop them
