Ask any of us about student loan forgiveness and we’re all supportive. Why punish a whole new generation of people just because we had to go through the terrible and broken system
But this is what loan forgiveness would do. It would punish future generations by driving up prices even more. Loan forgiveness is a one time handout to whoever happens to owe at the time. It’s a “fuck you, I got mine” move
Loan forgiveness is just one example and I didn’t examine the topic in depth on purpose, but bluntly, loan forgiveness without reform in the system isn’t very meaningful, so when I’m referring to loan forgiveness, I’m not strictly just referring to forgiving existing loans; the topic should also include reform to the system to reduce or eliminate student loans for all future generations.
That context was beyond the scope of the original discussion. The fact that this was your take away, is very interesting to me, since it wasn’t really the point of the post.
In any case, I hope you have a good day, and good luck in life.
That may be the case for you, but it’s not even on the radar for most advocates of student loan forgiveness. You’re an outlier. That’s why it was my take away.

Than call it loan reform.
