I see the debt forgiveness programs similar to decriminalizing marijuana and releasing inmates. Yes, it's unfair that it's now decriminalized, you had to either serve partial or full time and suffer, but you probably knew the consequences of your actions. Maybe not fully but you had an idea. Doing this entire debt forgiveness thing is to level the playing field. It's to unburden the people of the past of their fiscal sentence while unlocking the decriminalizing of college. People in the past would be pissed if they had to keep paying their loans (serving time) if it was all free now. People who already paid (served full) have it rough but it was a different time. You have to make the transition somehow. Maybe my analogy sucks but I don't see how you can get buy in otherwise.
