Over the student loan forgiveness. But the Koch's were also the ones attacking our educational system. Charles Koch pushed to make our Universities to cost more. And now we have tech bros not wanting Americans to get degrees and they don't want to pay for our colleges because getting people from overseas is cheaper. Their plan all along was to break the American people to accept social class make them accept pay and benefits like we are in a third world country.
