Do you support the universal cancellation of student debt?

Also, do you think the (mostly) younger generation deserves a break?
If possible, would you elaborate on your answer?

Universal, no - but something needs to be done, and I want to see public education funding to return to what it was. I got a world-class STEM education for a couple grand a year and it wasn’t even that long ago - got out in ‘06.

This is a self-created problem that Amerifats made for themselves after the Great Recession. It’s easy enough to fix.
@QuixoticSoul I agree the system does need to be fixed, My kids are around your age and they were able to apply for and receive scholarships and work their way through college. When I went to college, community college was 3 bucks a semester and Long Beach State was 75 bucks a semester. I spent more on books than on tuition.

@independentone Tuition at my alma mater literally quintupled since I’ve graduated, shit is off the rails.
@QuixoticSoul I hear it has at my kids school also, and they went to State Universities.
