Wonder if those college kids getting their loans paid off realize it’s mostly their parents that end up paying for it, or worse, people who never even got to go to college?

You must be right. I'm sure it's all the rest of us that don't understand.

Perhaps you should recite that to yourself while shaving.

Maybe you should quit being a hypocrite or stop taking handouts (deductions) from the government to prove your point?
