"Maybe student loan forgiveness doesn't impact you. That doesn't make it bad. I am sure there are certainly other things that student loan borrowers' taxes pay for that you benefit from. We can do good things and reject the scarcity mindset that says doing something good for someone else comes at the cost of something for ourselves," Ocasio-Cortez explained to all those who are critics of Joe Biden's Student Debt Cancellation Scheme especially the Republican party members.She further said "people with apartments pay for first time homeowner benefits. Young people contribute to Medicare for our seniors. People who take public transit pay for car infrastructure."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez popularly known by her name initials AOC is very active on social media.Even Elon Musk liked her gorgeous lipstick.
She is happy with the initial success but she said "I am very grateful for this watershed moment of a first step - it is so encouraging, thrilling, and has already changed SO many people's lives. But I am also thinking about how this still leaves a question mark for those in the highest amounts of debt, who need the most amount of help. So let's celebrate and keep going."
