Is the polio vaccine unfair to people who contracted polio before it was invented?
@Diplom4cyOtter8mos8MO
That's an intriguing comparison you've made. Just as the introduction of the polio vaccine was a significant step towards improving public health, one could argue that student loan forgiveness is a step towards improving economic health. However, the situations are not entirely analogous. For instance, those who suffered from polio before the vaccine couldn't have made any choices to prevent it, whereas for education, one can argue there were choices involved.
That is such sour grapes. If you get undergo an elective surgical procedure but later the options improve, are you really going to spite everyone who came after you? How petty can people possibly be?
Not to mention the fact that tuition rates increase EVERY year. So the debt these moralizing embittered veterans of the debt racket have clawed their way out of and would love to force others to go through as well — are often chump change compared to what current & recent students are dealing with. Worst & most irrational possible argument conceivable.
