Ignore fair - How does this debt forgiveness address any of the systemic issues you've pointed out?

Colleges will still be just as expensive. The next round of student signing up now still has all the same burdens and obligations, the same disadvantages understanding the borrowing they're doing.

Nothing is getting fixed. You're just handing a one-time stimulus to recent college grads. And don't take me wrong - I would also have preferred a stimulus for recent college grads instead of the insanity that was Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy. But that's like picking between two wormy apples.

I really don't want a payout for EITHER of those groups! - I want the systemic issues around pricing for education to be addressed.

So if "debt forgiveness" also includes plans for something like universal access to college, or a standardized loan process through the federal government, or (perhaps most useful of all) the simple ability to discharge education debt through bankruptcy.... then sign me up.

If it just means handing money to the children of already mostly well-off folks, as a one-time political courtship to win the next presidential election... Then count me out. I think it's a bad idea.
