I can just guess why she asked THAT question

You can argue for cheap or free college options, which some states currently have. But canceling someone’s debt, which they took on in good faith is a joke. When someone signs a loan they are required to repay. Let’s call canceling debt, what it is. A payoff to young Dem voters

Or the absolute moral confusion over whether people with existing debt should be the only ones absolved, as opposed to including reimbursements for those that paid.

providing federal money as a backstop for student loans provide colleges with NO incentive to control costs. rising college costs have more to do with amenities than education quality. we need a hard cap on the amount of a federal funded student loan to achieve cost control.

We are replacing most of the entire Educational Industrial Complex with completely new opportunities for learning as we go. The system is based on studying and writing about life, rather than living it. Academic elites run it, forgetting that there’s more to life than academics.

Higher education should be a right not a privilege for those who can afford it. This is true for all free nations. Corporations could fund many if not all providers of higher education, and reduce their taxes by doing so.

There’s a moral hazard in living in a country with undereducated citizens. Lack of education is both a public safety and a national security issue.

Should we cancel student debt, or just cancel the predatory, mortgage-like interest structure levied on people who will NEVER make progress on the principle?

Who are all these pro-debt MW followers? Weird.
