If you went to college on a student loan and paid it back how do you feel about Biden forgiving all this student debt of current students.

Poll - Total Votes: 35

It is just buying votes using tax payer dollars.

Todays students are more deserving of having their debt forgiven.

The whole government load system is responsible for running up the cost of college.

I live in Canada.. University fees are heavily subsidized by taxes and here are reasonable costs to the Student and their families.. We PAY heavy taxes to subsidize those costs.. In the USA there are minimal subsidies from government towards tuition costs.. so they are exorbitant.. using taxpayers money to cover part of the exorbitant costs of tuition debt is thus reasonable and equitable until your tax structure moves in line with the rest of the civilized world and you recognize that government has legitimate functions in society other than military spending.. The paralysis that the USA has in paying a right sized level of taxation is why education and health care are treated so ridiculously in the USA.. you literally spend HALF of your health care expenditures on insurance companies that do NOT add one dime of health care provision to the consumer..smarten up and grow up already.. its ridiculous watching you chase your tails..

@pdqsailor1 They USED to be here FAR more by states than now. PELL grants have fallen in real dollars since the 70's and 80's.

Universities should NOT be the financial aid gate kerpers because they jack up costs knowing what students have. It should be separate so the student can negotiate.

@Neoerectus Tuition should be reasonable not exorbitant.. Higher education should be by the MERIT - the capacity of ones ability to complete the course of study not based on wealth.. Examples are all round you.... Obama and Clinton were both from modest backgrounds and are possessed of high levels of mental acuity / capacity - they were well educated.. and the result has been that the nation has been well served by them.. Larry Ellison was an orphan that was raised by his Aunt and Uncle.. He is brilliant and started a company that made him one of the worlds wealthiest men.. and he was well educated to have the capacity to achieve his goals..
