And, what about the Vets who earned the GI Bill? Cancelling student debt makes their service worth less.
And, what about the families who saved for years, going without many niceties in order to secure a collegiate education for their kids? Sends a message that this is the wrong path.
And, what about the college students who worked while in school? Slap in the face.
Some good questions there. The Air Force sent me back to college for both my Masters and PhD. In each case I incurred a service commitment. By the time I worked those commitments off I was so close to retirement that I stayed in until I could retire. I think I paid off my debt to the taxpayers for my time in graduate school.
I'm all favor of support for college for qualified students. But there ought to be some quid pro quo.
