That's why there was a large push for student debt forgiveness literally a year ago. But the right still flipped their shit. It's not about fairness to the people in the past, it's about fairness for those in the future. Children should not be in massive debt at 16 or 17. Hell, I feel like nobody should be taking on debt until they can fully understand what it takes to pay a debt off. So, not a student.

The right just love to pull up the ladder.

"Debt forgiveness" is why it failed. That's bullshit. Free pass to everyone who already went to college and still had debt, doesn't help anyone else, doesn't make college more affordable, just bails out former college grads.
