The reason we should cancel the entire student loan debt is because those loans should never have existed to begin with. Before the 1970s, we had near. tuition free situations in Florida, Texas, and California. This was a malevolent strain of capitalism reaching into the pockets of some of our most vulnerable citizens, people simply trying to better their lives by getting a higher education. Every other advanced democracy has tuition free higher Ed. We should too.

Capitalism was not the cause. It was the extravagant spending and bloated bureaucracies of the colleges themselves.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Sure. Make the colleges pay off the debt.

If cancelling means taxpayers cover overpriced, inefficient system created by POLITICIANS, then No. This is not the right way

Schools get to keep the wasted tuition money, and I have to pay for the dummy who fell for the scheme and got a student loan.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Man I wonder what would have happened if the federal government didn’t get involved with student loans….

"Smart" people are mad that thinking doesn't solve any problems Trial and error solves problems and that requires action Even a dummy can perform trial and error, and many do they become very wealthy, and the "smart" people are pissed that a dummy is doing better than them

One reason we have high tuition is because colleges are competing like all inclusive resorts. So many perks for students. It was a crime when colleges charged the same for remote learning during COVID.
