Collecting and dropping receipts is one of the internet's favorites. When the complaints of student loan debt forgiveness started popping up on our social media feeds, it was natural for people to dig a little deeper. Do you think it's at their disposal? There is a database of loans that have been forgiven.
The government would forgive up to $20,000 of federal student loans for borrowers who met certain criteria, according to President Biden. If a person made less than $125,000, they would be eligible for forgiveness and more if they received a grant.
Conservatives were quick to condemn the plan. As people began to criticize the plan, the "this you" account began to flood with messages. Republican members of Congress who took Paycheck Protection Program loans were immediately targeted.

The student loans and thePPP loans are not the same. People and businesses who didn't need the money received it during the worst of the Pandemic. There is an irony in people condemning government loan forgiveness but also being angry when others do the same thing.
On the internet, everyone is always looking for a receipt. It's always a good idea to take your own risks with your social media posts.
