1/ Just to be clear, more people educated means more people making money means a more expanded economy for everyone. More people shackled with loans means less money circulating and a more constricted economy for everyone.

2/2017 $2T tax cut where 83 cents of every dollar went to the wealthiest corporations and individuals will never pay for itself, and only increased income inequality.

3/ Forgiving a $1.5T student loan debt will put money in the pockets of everyday people and decrease income inequality. THAT is why all the propaganda against it. It has nothing to do with money, but with power - which is why the student loan system was created to begin with.

College econ failed you(and many others)….

Has it occurred to you yet that if that were true, they wouldn’t need to be bailed out by the taxpayers?

A population comprised of more college educated people will also mean people will become more open-minded, less apt to believe conspiracy theories, etc. We see right now the dangers of an uneducated population.

Bring the student loans back to the initial money borrowed. Without (accumulated) interest. Then look at the jobs they have: can they afford to pay the original loan or not? A single mother might be struggling beyond imagination, whereas a dentist might have no trouble paying.

I believe refinancing student loans to 1% or less is the better option. People will be held liable for their loans w/o being trapped with interest payments. This will also benefit future generations of students.

People being educated doesn't necessarily mean more people making money.

More education means fewer serfs tied to low paying menial jobs. Corporations do not want that.

I’ve worked my ass off to pay my student loans. You gonna refund that money to me? People know the cost of college up front and sign to take on the debt, just like any other loan. The money still has to come from somewhere.

Then figure out a way to subsidize college education or make it cheaper. Paying some people’s debts and not others is deplorable. Also what about kids in school now, and in the future? What you’re proposing isn’t a solution.
