One good reason is that a $1.6T handout to the "young and educated but not quite poor" is the wrong demographic. If you want to spend that money on an inequality fix (and I agree, we should spend that money on an inequality fix) it should be aimed farther down the ladder. But it's better than nothing.

Are we trying to solve inequality? Look at demographics the millennials are the largest voting group now surpassing the boomers. Student Loans debt is killing them. Millennials are poor compared to their counterparts. Seems good politics if anything. This idea that democrats or republicans are looking for solutions to fix the country is laughable at this point.

And if's really justice driving someone, they should be angry at colleges who charges tens of thousands of dollars for degrees they knew going in were going to be worthless. I see forgiving this 1.6T in debt without correcting that system of injustice as compounding injustice even more.

I don't think the very poor make up much of the voting population.
