    People with student loans are mad there are loan forgiveness programs.

      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 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.

      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.

      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
