The difference is you are not "getting taxes back" with loan forgiveness. Getting something back implies you had it to begin with. You didn't have that money to begin with to "get back", it was unearned and loaned to you. Paying off your debt with tax payer money is paying for your choices at the expense of someone else. Again, you are comparing giving someone something they didn't earn to letting someone keep what they did earn, two totally different things. If you will read both of my posts carefully you will see I have laid this out to you very simply and logically.


The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.
