    Loan forgiveness without making education affordable going forward doesn’t solve the problem. It’s pulling up the ladder.

    You’re 100% correct. But be careful, these folks don’t take kindly to shining a light on their hypocrisy. They signed their names to a legally-binding contract, spent the money, but now don’t like paying it back under the terms they agreed to.

    College tuition is far too high. But without fixing the root cause, tuition loan forgiveness does nothing for everyone before and after, and it actually makes the whole problem worse.

      Could you walk me through what you see as these folks’ hypocrisy? I don’t get it.

      Is somebody arguing that loan forgiveness should be a one time thing and no one after them should get it?
