You could have given sound legal advice and told them that you don't go to court to get justice they court only awards money. The math doesn't make sense here and you would be financially better off by dropping the matter. That's what any person would do by any reasonable standard of professional ethics. Or you could just take advantage of the situation and charge them $25k to win $10k even though that's not in their financial interest and you have a fiduciary duty to act in their financial interest. I wonder what a morally correct virtuous Democrat would do in this situation. Probably say some virtue signal BS and turn around and do the opposite.

Todd I think you should be able to forgive exactly as much student debts for other people as you are able and willing to pay for. So how much extra did you pay over what was required on last years taxes? I paid zero extra but that is exactly how much I think others should be forced to pay for student loan forgiveness too. I'm guessing you paid zero extra too but you claim to have moral standards and beliefs to which your own behavior does not conform. My behavior conforms to my beliefs, yours does not. There is a word for this oh yeah hypocrisy. What a virtuous hypocrite you are.

So drop the pretense. If you want college loan forgiveness pay for it. Write a 5 or 6 figure check to the government over and above what is required. You can send it in right now. In fact you can cut the middleman out and just pay off someone's student loans on this site. Several people on here have astronomical 5 or 6 figure student loan debt. Put your money where your mouth is and pay off one of their loans. Be the change you want to see in the world. You want student loan forgiveness then start with your own money. I don't really pay that much attention to what people say, I put more stock in what they do. So quit the pretense of sanctimoniousness and whip out your checkbook. Or just say fvckthatother guy and pay zero extra, if that's what you want but don't posture and pretend you are willing to do things you aren't willing to do. Be at least as generous with your own money as you are with other people's.

You will never get student loan forgiveness as you can't even get more than a minor part of your own party on board. It's just an lie that democratic politicians know they can never deliver on but will use this as an excuse for votes before they sell us down to river to big business interests. It's kind of like when republican politicians lie that they will make smaller government for votes but doesn't deliver smaller government before they sell us down to river to big business interests but maybe a different group of big business interests that the Democrats sell us out to. You have the presidency, house and senate and will not get student loan forgiveness passed this year. You will not get it passed next year. Midterms are going to come and you'll lose the house then you for sure won't get it after that. Student loan forgiveness will never happen it's not politicly feasible, I know it will never happen, you know it will never happen, the politicians know it will never happen but don't let that stop you from shilling for those politicians.

So whip out that check book and put your money where your principles and beliefs dictate. Or be a posturing hypocrite libtard shill, it's a free country, the choice is yours. You are free to choose but remember we are paying attention to what you choose and not paying attention to all the hot air you blow. So do you write the check or say fvckthatotherguy. I predict you say fvckthatotherguy and continue to shill for forcing other people to pay for things that you aren't willing to yourself.
