Picture two white collar professionals sitting at a bar, clinking their glasses to celebrate college debt relief, inches away from the blue collar bartender whose taxes will pay for that relief.

I agree I don't think it's fair to "hate" on the college-indebted, but I can also see an element of unfairness to debt relief and can understand why someone like that bartender would not be so happy about it.

> blue collar bartender

And yet all the propaganda directs hate towards "blue-haired baristas/bartenders with worthless degrees in women's studies". I don't think it's as simple as "blue collar" vs "white collar". People who took loans to go to trade schools should also be eligible.

And all 3 of those people's tax dollars are going to pay for their bosses' stock portfolios.
