Why are Republicans so against the Democrats proposing debt relief. I guess they want the poor staying poor while they get rich?

GOP backlash against student loan freeze grows

Republican criticism of the freeze on student loan repayments and interest is growing in the wake of President Biden’s extension of the moratorium until late summer.

GOP criticisms range from the extension representing an expensive handout to “elites” to saying that Democrats are displaying hypocrisy for extending pandemic-era policies that they like while rolling others back.

“How was it fair to somebody like myself who just paid his off?” said Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), adding that he recently made a lump sum to pay off his loans 20 years after graduating from college.

I mean that's the root of conservatism, maintaining the status quo, if you actually start making it so that everyone has a decent and comfortable standard of living then the poor might actually start thinking they are humans and not just workers to be exploited day in and day out while seeing the slimmest fraction of the money their work makes.

All the good things Democrats want to do the Republicans want to rip it down

I mean territory does make sense. It’s definitely not fair to the people who already paid off their student loans.
