holy scheisse 22,959 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Regarding the argument of why do students deserve forgiveness or not can we acknowledge thst most people who take out student loans are basically children? 18-21 ish year olds with little to no understanding of economics… who’s brains are still developing to think of the big picture rather than the instant gratification in the here and now??? A whole generation of kids were coerced into the high school to college pipeline some of their own volition yes, but many with no concept thst there are alternative paths in life, they just see everybody around them telling them this is what you do after high school etc. 18 year olds can’t even drink a beer but they can take out tens of thousands in student loans lol idk man I think it’s super unjust. I think college needs to be free in general and funded by taxpayers. Idgaf, I’ll pay taxes so that this country can be educated and stop falling behind. Forgive student loans, create a plan for government funded higher education, that’s my dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriane 22,797 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Cancel it, and make tuition free. The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 52,907 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I hope something is done about the cost of tuitions as well which is the root cause of this high student debt issue in the first place I continue to hold the opinion that simply cancelling debt at random will only help the lucky ones that are targeted now in the short term. It won't fix the actual root problem and in a few years the problem will just be back and potentially with a vengeance (if some people anticipate the government will forgive debt a second time and make less effort to minimize it) if this debt forgiveness doesn't come with additional reforms in the system as well It may be better than doing nothing at all and I'm not saying I'm against it per say but on its own is just an expensive superficial bandaid. It would be a much more effective and complete action if it was done as a part of a bigger reform package Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
