What’s your solution then to make it fair for everyone then? Since I chose not go into debt and get indoctrinated in college, I’d take a mortgage relief payment instead.

So we shift the problem from the universities fleecing individuals to fleecing the tax payer. How is this better ?

Not if you used your house for collateral, took out personal loans, cashed in your retirement, to pay for college. And You're Still Paying those loans. And someone Else is going to get Their debt wiped clean? No. It's something ppl better start looking at if they want it to pass.

No it's not. It's a give away to the upper middle class

I don’t understand why we wouldn’t at least start by slashing interest rates to near zero — permanently — so that the crisis doesn’t continue to spiral. @marwilliamson Is anyone even against that?

Not to mention the fact it used to be damn free. So should we ask boomers to pay their education fees?

Same as Biden saying it wouldn't be fair to his son Beau if we had universal health care.

"We shouldn't cure cancer because it would be unfair to the people who already died." Well maybe we shouldn't have tax cuts for the rich because it's not fair to all the people who DO pay fucking taxes, ACTUALLY. FUNNY HOW THIS LOGIC ONLY APPLIES WHEN *THEY* WANT IT TO.

it’s like saying we couldn’t end slavery in 1865 because it would be unfair to all the previous generations of slaves

I never got that logic. Why don't people want services and benefits for everybody, regardless of what happened historically? It's called "progress." It's called improving society over and above what happened in the past.
