Damn I saw that too. It’s amazing how fast this shit gets around. I just had my first encounter with the “forgive student loans” petition too. I guess all you have to do is say something pro-state and people just eat it up. Someone on facebook just said:
“Yes. We need education to get jobs - so forgiving the student loans would help the economy. People could use the income they save to “pump” into the economy. I know it would be a huge burden off my shoulders and you bet I would be able to buy a car sooner, or a house, instead of being buried in debt for a degree I basically have to have to work in this country.”

This sounds really familiar. It reminds me of a story I heard about a guy who took a crowbar and broke another guy’s leg. Then he handed the man a crutch and said “See. Without me, you wouldn’t be able to walk. You owe me big time.”
and
They pay it forward by giving people jobs.
