After Biden teased "significant" student debt relief last week, Republicans and corporate Dems lost their minds coming up with bad faith arguments against student debt cancellation. Briahna caught up with consumer debt attorney and debt jubilee advocate Sparky Abraham about where we are in the fight for student debt cancellation, and what the best arguments are against means testing student debt reform. How should Briahna handle the "Harvard" question: e.g. why did you choose to go to an elite, expensive school? Why are liberals alighting with Laura Ingram and Mitt Romney on student debt cancellation? Are Democrats intentionally dangling 10k of debt cancellation because they know that's a better deal (for banks) than extending the moratorium? And why is no one talking about usurious interest rates?

Brie - you're killing me putting all the student loan eps behind the pay wall 🤣 I always want to share them with my similarly situated borrower friends and I can't. There is some irony in that the very people who maybe can't afford a patreon sub because of their debt are the ones who would most benefit from hearing these eps. Love love love your show, just want to share it far and wide!

Now I get why her questions and responses are so often crafted so soundly.

The Debt Collective is in an outstanding position to lead a vote withholding campaign.

It did not occur to me that forgiving 10k does nothing to people on income based repayment. Thank you for bringing so much substance to the conversation

Allow chapte7 to include more student loan debt.

Debt cancelation is tax on poor with higher inflation.

Stop saying free. High property taxes pay for school. Thus, high rent etc.

Agree with Catherine. Please make this episode free. It’s super important to the indebted masses.
