It's a hand out for those with higher earning potential.
Don't see how over funding the irs and going after venmo transactions is going after the rich
Uhhh you do realize Universities are incredibly rich and lobby the Dems to keep that gravy train coming.

Most of the students in my cohort didn't graduate but still took on debt. There was something like 30 of us and around 5 graduated on time. Less than 5 of us graduated in our original majors. A few more may have graduated afterwards but I did not continue to have contact with them. This was at a tier 3 research university in the Midwest.
The worse case I saw was a woman in her 30s who had to work instead of come to class for two weeks. After she came back she was completely lost and dropped.
The major I had, Mathematics, is the hardest statistically so we had a higher failure rate than others but still though a 16% pass rate is pretty bad. The university as a whole only had something like 36% of it's students graduate on time.
