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.

My wife went to college on student loans and paid them back. She is absolutely fine with student loan forgiveness.

Next, let me point out that student loans are NOT the only loans the US government forgives. If student loan forgiveness were unique, I might feel differently about them.

During the previous administration, 10.2 million Paycheck Protection Program loans were forgiven or partially forgiven. With average forgiveness $72,000, that works out to $734 billion in loan forgiveness subsidies to business owners.

Agricultural subsidies in the US are HUGE topic, but suffice it to say we've been forgiving agricultural equipment purchase loans and land mortgages as well as price supports and paying farmers not to grow crops.

[quote]As of July 4 this year, 10.2 million PPP loans, introduced to support small businesses, had been fully or partially written off.

The first loans were authorized by the CARES Act in March 2020, which provided $350 billion of fully guaranteed funds.

In April 2020, another $310 billion was allocated via the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. A further $285 billion came in the second stimulus package of December 2020.

The government's Pandemic Response Accountability Committee found that 97 percent of PPP loans were used to help fund payroll. The average amount of PPP loan forgiveness was $72,500.[/quote] [b]https://www.newsweek.com/what-ppp-loan-forgiveness-scheme-paycheck-protection-program-student-debt-1736775[/b]
