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.

I think in this day and age education should be free for all until they leave education . Raise taxes if need be but every child from what ever background deserves a chance at university and not have to worry about paying for it in later life its just plain wrong and needs knocked on the head .

@SW-User I know that but the better educated the person the more likely they will get a job hopefully a higher paid job the more taxes they will pay so giving back to society so the next generation have free education etc etc .

@Rhode57 so if they can get a higher paid job they already have plenty of incentive to make the investment themselves
