Student Debt Relief

[dfrecore]

Sure, some people will take advantage of the system. Some people take advantage of our tax system too, and often times they're praised as shrewd business-minds for it. But there's more people that are going to be helped by a policy like this than there will be low lifes taking advantage of it.

Taking every possible worse case scenario and then choosing to focus on it as a slap in the face is a rough way to spend one's time and also a bleak lense to view public policy. Why do anything at all then, if one of my kids' friends might do something unscrupulous related to it?

How is this unscrupulous?

All I'm saying is, it's not a need for everyone, nor is it necessarily a good idea (it certainly doesn't do a single thing to change the system going forward).

I love that some student debt is getting relieved and I hope to see more for other Americans getting relieved as well, as, I don't believe money should be a factor to a quality education and a chacne to do better. A lot of the high costs of many industries, are, simply because we don't have the resources and tools available yet to make them more competitive with more highly trained professionals in those fields.

I really want to see a stronger future for trade schools and colleges.

I am eligible for permanent disability. I know a handful of people who have a permanent disability with a college degree but they left the job market because of healthcare costs and now they have all this college debt. They tried to break the cycle.

Student debt is so inescapable that even those who made payments during the pandemic freeze still owe more money than they originally borrowed (msn.com)
