You support the government paying the debt, a big chunk of this money comes from people that didn't get to go to college, so you support them paying off a debt contracted by more privileged people. Which part did I make up?

You didn't say they are assholes for complaining tho, I got a bit carried away in that part. I've seen that point made here in Lemmy a lot, sorry.
