Pretty sure Laura Ingraham could have afforded to pay off those loans herself any time in the past 35 years. Admitting that she let her mom wait tables into her 70s to pay off that debt isn't really the flex she thinks it is.
My mom worked as a waitress until she was 73 to help pay for our college, even helped with loan repayment. Loan forgiveness just another insult to those who play by the rules.
