Fair

Sometimes being responsible can cost you. When the victims of the 9/11 terror act were compensated, their award was based on their potential earning power which is the proper way to determine such awards. Once a monetary value was determined any life insurance that person had was subtracted from the award. In other words those who purchased life insurance to protect their families were given a lesser award by the amount of the insurance. Today Senator Sanders suggested that all student loans be forgiven. This means that the student who went to community college and worked a job will receive nothing while the student who went away to school and lived on student loans will come out ahead. It is similar to a refugee who comes over the border illegally as compared to the person standing in line for, sometimes years, and will continue to wait and watch as others take a shortcut. As is often said, life is not fair.
