wiping out some student debt while allowing a broken system to keep piling it up is a pretty wild thing to watch, and such an admission of defeat. this does nothing at all to solve the problem.

do what other countries do--make university free but hard, and have minimal extra BS that makes it expensive. if not that, universities should underwrite their students' debt. if their graduates can't on average easily pay it back, it's at least mostly their fault.

Hand out for anything rarely work. At best It just masks the problem temporarily. Should focus fixing it at the root level.

Pretty clear it’s just vote buying by a morally bankrupt political party

politics job is keeping the same problems (or adding more), while polarizing the angles to look at it, not to solve them.

There are a lot of easy and simple solutions to this problem. I believe they don't want to solve the problem. They want to benefit from it.

The education problem is more widespread than just in the 🇺🇲USA🇺🇲 and the government does not have direct control over legally earned private equity endowments. It's a problem that requires a change to education and a long term solution, that won't happen over night.

There isn’t enough political will to fix the broken system.

We do the same with healthcare too. And the solution is the same there as well.

u know debt is 1 devil on my back. If it's gone it's exactly one devil off my back, that's what it means 2 every single one of those who get their debt cancelled by that. But u r right + u ought 2 contribute 2 fixing the system, because u r in a position of power (eg money-)

You are asking for: Redistribution from the poor (who don't go to the university) to the rich (the ones who go to the university and get richer). What about stop asking for BS/BA from "Top university" @ OpenAI ? boards.greenhouse.io/openai/… You are part of the problem...

This just isn't true. There's an entire section of the bill focused solely on updating the system.
