While this is better than nothing, I would rather have my tax dollars paid for free higher education with oversight on the quality of the education and how the money is used. Blanket forgiveness would encourage bad actors from offering useless degrees at high cost imo

- sigzero 4y agoSure, but now we are subsidizing it.
- krapp 4y agoWe're subsidizing relief from it. Loan debt and interest are what subsidize the bad actors.
- jrs235 4y agoGuaranteeing the loans is what subsidizes it. If the institutions had their own skin in the game they might act differently.
- inferiorhuman 4y agoSubsidizing tuition is nothing new, loans and grants have been around for decades and yeah those (especially the private loans) drove up tuition mercilessly. Neither side should be ignored here – just because there are structural problems does not mean that we should shy away from lifting the sceptre of debt. We need to address both problems.
- vital_beach 4y agoit would be even easier to start with how current cost education is handled. my student loan situation would be much better if my advisor at my state uni had actually been incentivized to be an advisor. instead she put off meeting with me until the second semester of my senior year. note i didn't say last semester of my senior year.
