      I finally paid off my student loans!

      If they suddenly forgive student loans given to people now, I’m gonna be so mad.

      I paid off all of my student loans myself, it’s not fair for the government just forgive loans from other people!”

      In the US it’s common for people to say that they shouldn’t cancel student loan debts because it would be unfair to people who have already paid theirs back.

      People who have paid off their student loans are allegedly opposed to the government forgiving student loans for people that are financially burdened by them.

        I worked my ass off to pay off my student loans, and I wish it upon no one. It didn’t teach me shit except fuck capitalism. School should be socialized and free. And fuck cancer!

          I’m still paying off loans and will be for the next 8 years. I’m ineligible for forgiveness now because I consolidated with a private lender. I hope everyone gets their debt wiped, even if I can’t. Education should be free to begin with.

      A common “reason” for why student loans shouldn’t be paid off by the government is that it would be unfair to everyone who has already paid off their student loans.

      People with student loans are mad

      They’re generally not. But a few well-situated op-ed writers working for newspapers with a vested interest in the private loan industry have expressed a great deal of outrage.

      The person in this comic is acting like someone who paid off their student loans and now doesn’t want others to get loan forgiveness
