Fuck that. I've paid more than $80k+ in extra taxes in the 6 years since I've graduated that I wouldn't have without my degree. This is nothing more than a tax break for me - the little guy. This is nothing compared to their return on investment. Totally why community college/trade school should be free, on condition you graduate or get a job in the field of study.

What about those who took out loans, paid them back, AND paid $80k+ in extra taxes due to the degree they got?

Fuck those people, right?

If you took out a loan, you pay it back. You. Not the taxpayers.

You realise your argument is basically "We couldn't help one person, now we can't help anyone else or it would be unfair."

And noone who already paid off the loans is in a worse position if others don't have to.

"Wait, I had to work in the mines at 10 years old, why are you banning it now for children? That's not fair."
