    My biggest complaint in this (as a student loan borrower) is that they postponed this shit for years, and I didn’t make any payments during that time so I wouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get reimbursement if this forgiveness plan was actually implemented, so now instead of having interest-free payments going during this time, I’m going to have to start where I was in the beginning.

    This could just be my own stupidity, but making a promise that would completely negate the need to make payments made me hold off on making payments.

      It’s like a microcosm of the forgiveness there. Other people still paying their loans would’ve had resentment towards people who stopped paying their loans and got bailed out.
