Yes, I worked my way through college and medical school, never went into debt. My wife and I slept on box springs supported by concrete blocks, ate on a card table, cooked on a hot plate. I put her through four years of college on a resident's salary (my first year it was $200 per month, $190 after income tax).

When I became a practicing physician, I established a scholarship to educate people who could not otherwise afford college. I don't know how many people I educated.

There is no justice in forcing me--or anyone else--to pay off someone else's student loans.

My husband (first in his family to go to college) paid off his student loans from an insurance policy he received after his father died - he was still in college at the time.

I paid off my kids’ student loans with money I received from my mother’s death. Got the house paid off too..

We expected exactly no one to pay off these loans for us, we incurred the debts and felt responsible for them and did the responsible thing.

Next, Biden will offer to pay off credit card debt. Wait for it.
