- sanderjd 3y agoThat's one potential solution, I'm not against it a priori, but would be interested in the exact details of it. But it is not the only potential solution. But the availability of other actual potential solutions does not make the non-solution of one-time blanket forgiveness that we're discussing here any more appealing to me.
- oddtuple 3y agoHere’s some research that supports it https://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/rpr_2_6.pdf https://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/rpr_2_6.pdf

- oddtuple 3y agoPardon, this was deeper linked, but your previous comments describe the overall forgiveness as a bandaid, or generally not helpful. That is not supported by the research.
- sanderjd 3y agoI do think it is a bandaid and generally not helpful, even if it is not economically damaging. Economic benefit or damage is only one aspect of the question.
