I was waiting for student loan forgiveness to buy a house. Now my down payment goes to debt.
I'm sure there are many like me.
Overall I side with debt forgiveness, not because I am in student debt, but because I saw first hand how school admins abuse the money for lavish paychecks and nice things.
Subsidies for universities should transparently be enriching the universities or reducing tuition.
I disagree. The taxpayer money could be better used in other welfare programs.
I don't believe they're mutually exclusive
True but the more money that gets spent, the more people need to be taxed.
In certain situations it could be beneficial for some people but I don't think it should be applied to everyone. If you have an autistic person who went to college but is working low income jobs because they struggle with finding jobs and doing job interviews, then they could be good candidates for such a program. Of course I think it would be better to have a program that helps teach people in that position how to look for jobs and do job interviews.
