    As someone who has to pay back half of my COVID relief but so many rich people and corporations don’t- I feel this deep in my black soul.

    $7000 on top of my student loans👍

      Quick question? How come you gave to pay half of it back? On what grounds?

      I made a $10,000 payment to close out mine a few years ago. Turns out I was right that Biden wouldn’t do anything meaningful on that front, and I was tired of being gouged on the interest.

      I still support cancellation though. I wish we were spending 200 billion on that instead of another country’s war.

        You should take a second to look up who is in the way of that happening, because it sure as hell isn’t Biden.

        Dude you know they were referring to covid relief and not LOANS. “On what grounds” they said, obviously that’s not referring to paying back a loan and instead on what grounds would you have to pay back RELIEF funds.

            Because the federal student loan plan is where I got the loan, so now I owe the big G like $15,000 instead of just under $8000.

            I never should have had to pay back relief funds. I don’t dispute my loans, though they should be inteest free.
