It’s a dead-simple concept that can be applied to everything: public money should only be used for public services. If the private sector is viable, it shouldn’t need public money to prop it up.

Public money should fund public transit. No public money for private transport infrastructure.

Public money should fund public schools. No public subsidies for charter and private schools.

Public money should fund public health care. No public funding should be wasted on propping up a wasteful private healthcare industry. ACA wastes so much money buying insurance for people when we could just build public hospitals and public clinics.

It’s not that private industry shouldn’t exist. It’s just that private industry, conceptually, shouldn’t need to be propped up by social funding. But currently it is. And it’s a tremendous waste of money. Public money should only fund public programs. So simple.

You can get on income-based repayment. You have no American income, so you pay nothing. Eventually the debt is cancelled, as long as you don’t move back.

They weren’t cancelling all debt, just a portion. The sign is saying they won’t repay anything until that portion is cancelled as planned.
