Why would you earmark such a large amount of it for the already college educated -- one of the most privileged segments of the population?
What about the working class people who chose not to take on that debt, and now have lifelong reduced earning power? Joke's on them?
What about the responsible people who paid back their debt, while going without luxuries enjoyed by those who chose not to pay it back? Joke's on them?
All the left has to say back is, "B-b-b-but education should have been free all along!", as if that answers any of these concerns. It's just pandering to get votes back for the Democrats, but it's an odd strategy, because they're already killing it among the college educated. In fact, Democrats have been INCREASING their share of the college educated in recent years. They're just losing big time with working class whites, and now working class minorities as well. This will just hasten the exodus of the working class, who will be especially resentful here.
