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.

We're going to pay for it somehow. I mean as a society. I have student debt so I'm not upset that it's happening but I'm just wondering what the real cost will be

@Punches I don't think anybody knows what the real cost will be, just as we can't really know what the benefits will be. At least this is a step forward. Doing nothing is, in my opinion, not acceptable.
