    “If Congress will stop debt relief for pilots now, they’ll do it to nurses tomorrow, teachers the next day, and social workers the day after,”

    Aaaand…? Not seeing a downside here…

      I’m assuming you forgot the /s

      If not, they should start with stopping debt relief for corporations and b/millionaires

        They were saying that this “slippery slope” of helping people get debt relief isn’t the big scary threat they statement seems to imply.

        I.e., “if we allow debt relief for pilots, what will stop them from allowing it for nurses, teachers, and social workers???” And the person is saying “I don’t see that as a problem.”

        They just misread the context of the comment.
