I joined the Navy so I could go to school on a GI bill. I had to sacrifice a lot. So "forgiving" millions of Americans' college debt is kind of like a slap in the face

Why would you even feel that when millions of Americans now are benefitting from it, like they should. At least your future children would not have to go to the same lengths as you did just to go to school.

I mean you should be happy for future generations brother. We are on the same boat and what I would give to get the same benefits as kids now.

some people worked hard and are in such financial burdens and deserve to have it payed off, why not

I don't understand how it would be a slap in the face to you. That's like saying I have to work to pay for food so if someone buys someone else a meal it's a slap in the face to me. Just be happy for people

I think it would so many people and probably help the community

There are so many people that paid off their loans already...imagine how they feel

Why is that? What made you say that? I think we all deserve to be given a chance in life.

We entered and joined this profession knowing well what our duty would be. I am more than happy to serve. I think we should just be happy fo them.

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck.

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
