It means the people fighting against it are only fighting against it because they don't get anything from it and that maybe they need to stop and consider that not every piece of legislation needs to benefit them and them only.

I think that may be a generous view of the people fighting against it.

My assumption is that the student debt crisis is by design. Look at how Betsy DeVos was appointed as secretary of education under the previous administration. There are people who benefit from large portions of people being in debt. There's people who benefit from education being unaffordable. I don't think it's about the money of the principal, it the power of having the working class be more desperate.

Ok, ok, let's just give everyone enough to pay off the largest student loan debt.

I am fighting against it because it only supports those that will become some of the wealthiest sector in the country at the cost to a segment that will be in the lower end of wealth. It is simply greed.
