Do you support the universal cancellation of student debt?

@ZashaKitty The tax payer. It is called an investment. That is why education till high school is paid for.

Why stop at high school. Why is this completely arbitrary cut off special?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow because High school is mandatory and education past that point is a choice

@ZashaKitty Again, that is only because that was the minimum required decades ago. The reality is High School hasn't been enough for decades. The rest of the developed world has figured that out.

It is only Americans who seem to think debt slavery is a virtue.

@ZashaKitty People don't go tens if not hundreds of thousands into debt as a "choice". it is because the reality is if you want to make enough that you can just scrape by you need post secondary and have for a very long time now.

Pretending the requirements of the job market and cost of living in 1918 is still relevant is just silly.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow and again no one forces anyone to go into student debt. It is a choice and one that normally pays off in the end with higher paying careers. People seem just so entitled now and think they should get higher education on higher paying careers without doing what others before them had to do.
If it was all paid by taxpayers do you not think the tax rate would honestly stay the same? People should not have to pay more in tax to pay for others education

@ZashaKitty Ummm since when did survival become a choice?

Can we dispense with the decades old cliches? None of that has held true for decades. That might have held true if you were going to college in the 40s.


Entitled is thinking education is only for the wealthy.


You need to learn what investment is and how taxation works.

@ZashaKitty Higher educated populations mean higher income and business taxes. So you make more money in the long run.


And in the US they have actually done the math. You could send every college age kid to college for free on what the Pentagon wastes in about 7 days. I am not exaggerating.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow so you can only survive with higher education? come on now.
Is life harder without it, sure but people get on just fine without going to college and so on. People just want free handouts more and more and try to justify it as they need it to survive. You end up in higher paid careers to pay back that debt and if that isnt for you, no one forces anyone to go into that debt ..
Entitled is thinking others should have to pay for your education

@ZashaKitty
Yes, and it is literally impossible to work your way through school.


Again, quit pretending it is half a century ago. A high school diploma has not been relevant for decades.

Again, the economic realities force people to do this. Pretending the economic realities of 1918 are relevant today is silly.



And no. Entitled is believing education should be kept only for the wealthy elite.
