“Buy a house, get my teeth fixed, and start saving for retirement,” one man tweeted.
While borrowers shared their student loan debt stories, many Twitter users were quick to dismiss the congresswoman with negative responses for promoting student loan debt cancellation - and did so in a flurry.
“It all amounts to the same thing. Stealing from responsible people, to pay off the debts of people who made bad decisions.”“Will I receive a tax credit for the money I have already paid responsibly repaying my student debt?”
Without clicking the bait, anyone have a summary?
Or if you...look at the tweet it didn't backfire at all? With something like 15K likes, plenty of retweets and responses in the spirit of what she was saying... Canceling student debt is a very popular idea at the moment, and you cherry picked some negative responses.

Forbes tweeted to try and mock a Congresswoman who wanted to cancel all student debt and it backfired.
FOH with this shit. She’s 1000% right.
