I just respond to your silly argument. If we are going to forgive some debt, why should there be winners and losers in the process? Why is student loan debt more important to forgive than mortgage debt? Than car debt? Is there a national crisis on mortgage debt? Or car debt? Because if/when that happens, guess what we'll be discussing... 1 Link to comment

There is a big difference between being obligated to help, based on need, and obligated to pay umbrella based for everyone regardless of need, which could amount to hundreds of billions of dollars. 1 Link to comment

Yes, again that's the point of the tweet. We don't have to fall for the logic of either we help everyone or no one. Or for the logic that either we help only the people who need it or no one. We have the capacity to help some but not all people, and we don't have to be perfect in determining the difference of who "needs" help. 2 Link to comment
