What's your take on student loan forgiveness?

Not your political take on it, but your gut level instinct take on it.

My take on it is that we need to do something about the cost of education, consider even if there should be for profit learning institutions and if so, how can we bring the costs in line with the realities of life for those struggling (financially) to get an education.

This 10 to 20k forgiveness program is fine, even in many cases needed, but I think it should be only the first step in a radical overhaul of higher education in the United States.

EDIT:

If you bring politics into the discussion I will delete your comment. If you start using labels, or start throwing insults, I will delete your comment.

For those who took and repaid their federal student loans; what are they told?

@soar2newhighs They should be congratulated. Again, in my opinion this is not about fair, it is about necessary and right. I paid for my education with 20 years of military service to include going into combat.

The thing is, we are not talking about self, we are talking about what is best for the masses, for our fellow human beings.
