On Thursday morning, Fox News host Laura Ingraham argued against cancelling student loan debt because her own mother waited tables until she was 73 to help Laura pay for her college debt.

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.

On her Friday show, Ingraham spoke about a report that showed approximately half of American parents help financially support their adult children in some way.

During the live segment, when an audience member said he helped with his son’s college fees Ingraham called him a “freeloader.”

Ingraham graduated from Dartmouth College in 1985, and the University of Virginia School of Law in 1991.

Ingraham was born in 1963, and her mother was born in 1920. Doing the mcMath, when Laura’s mother was 73, Ingraham would have been 30.

1) You let your mom work until she was 73 to pay your debts?

2) What a great argument for student loan forgiveness. https://t.co/O2MsNAQtjE

You graduated from Dartmouth in 1985 when tuition was $10,000/year. Now it's $61,000/year.

The insult is changing the rules to bail out billionaires to the tune of $10T, but stiffing working people with predatory tuition & interest. Socialism for the rich, bootstraps for us.
