“Pretty much the same as those who advocate forgiving student debt here in the US. “
I have such mixed feelings about this...no doubt, these people were sold a bill of goods by several different parties in the education/financial juggernaut, but they bought it...and the moral hazard and complete outrage of a “forgiveness” would make a lot of people, including me, pretty darned mad. If I was making $15 flipping burgers while paying off the debts of someone with an MA in Pan-African Womyn’s Music Studies, I’d just quit and go on welfare or panhandle.
Yep, if laws were broken in “selling them a load of goods”, that should be dealt with. I’d take the government out of student loans altogether, myself—but I wouldn’t forgive any debt at the expense of Joe Q. Taxpayer.
