I'll answer this more generally.
The history of the US is that 'groups' HAVE ALWAYS got very specific pandering type relief or benefits from the parties, who seek their votes.
The gov't amasses money from the citizens and then gives much of it back in pandering ways. Why a bridge in one State over another? Often you need only check the votes and who is in power. Seniors, Veterans, Suburb voters, have enjoyed this for decades on end amongst others.
Things have changed in the last couple of decades with this enormously disengous pretense that is trotted out each and every time now, that a benefit is directed at working people, that these programs need to be pure and without pandering and without discrimination. That is a stupid non argument and yet it is the one the MSM will run with in an attempt to kill this.
MC class relief, is ALWAYS a good. It does trickle sideways, down and up.
This 'the perfect is the enemy of the good argument', so 'give nothing' is being pushed by the elite but stated by silly gullible people in the middle who will also benefit.
Student debt relief is not a perfect way but it will help ALL of US society. There are dozens of more things that can and should be done to invest in the MC, as it will help all of society. Instead each and every time you have these false arguments to try and stop them while all the benefits keep going up to the Elite and Corporations providing far less benefits to Society.
