And so yeah, the folks who in spite of this all, that have hustled, sweated, endured shit to earn a living and even put some aside have disdain for folks that just give up or want free shit.
Yes. I had been saving for my daughter's college since she was born, only to watch tuition skyrocket in no small part to easy and irresponsible college loans. I see no reason to forgive these loans just so these clowns can now go out and rack up more debt that drives up the prices of cars and houses.

It's "Interesting" that many Universities don't require Professors to announce conflict of interests.
State Law should require that Academics at State Universities do so. Prepare to be shocked at how many Public Policy and Econ Profs are taking money hand over fist from Industry Groups.
Dumb and destructive economic policies exemplified by folks like former Bill Clinton advisor Laura Tyson at UC Berkeley, who endorsed outsourcing to other countries as the US would replace these manufacturing jobs with high tech jobs. At UC Berkeley, Tyson moonlighted at an on campus economics "think tank" that received industry funding. The academics have become whores for the monied interests.

Federal law does require to announce conflicts of interest if you hold ANY federal grants (NSF, Army, DOE etc). If you have only private grant money (from think tanks etc) then COE declaration might not be required. Also, declaring "conflict of interest" does nothing to stop conflict of interest. I know of several people high in hospital system who have National Institutes of Health funding (federal) and have YUUGE conflicts of interest (with startups they have created). Guess what - they got exemptions from their conflicts of interests from our illustrious Fed Gov.

Unfortunately, many Americans remain utterly unaware that they experienced a tax break:
Yet far from celebrating their lower tax bills as they prepared to file for the April 15th deadline, many Americans remain convinced they got no tax cut at all—or even that their
taxes went up. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in April showed that just 17 percent of Americans believe their taxes have been cut. A shocking 28 percent say they believe
their taxes went up. Other surveys have consistently found that less than one-third of Americans think they got a tax cut.
America is also seeing benefits from the Trump economy in other ways. A number of businesses announced investments in the U.S. following the passage of the tax cuts. In January 2018, Exxon Mobil announced a $50 billion investment in the American economy, citing the GOP’s tax bill.
“These investments are underpinned by the unique strengths of our company and enhanced by the historic tax reform recently signed into law,” Exxon CEO Darren Woods
wrote. “These positive developments will mean more jobs and economic expansion across the United States in a myriad of industries.”
