Humans are like crabs in a pot, when one try's to climb out, the others pull him down.
That reminds me of the Boomer Trolley Problem meme. If I was more familiar with posting pictures on here I would do so (I think the last time I posted a picture on here here was over ten years ago and I'm too tired to refresh myself on it.), but it's both incredibly sad and hilarious. It reminds of me of the mindset of some people that want to see others suffer because they had bad things happen to them, and they just aren't happy unless everybody else in the world has things as bad as they did.
Why?
The Trolley Problem is not a problem. I can only imagine psychopaths would struggle with it.
How about people who are out of the pot trying to pull more people out? That makes sense. Tax me more so others can have healthcare and education. Set the scheme in place and implement it so everyone knows the rules.
Debt is a different issue though. For higher education there are plenty of financial aid programs available to needy students (i.e., scholarships, pell grants, etc.). I'm all for relief, but is complete absolution the right way? In my opinion: no. If it happens, it happens. I am pragmatic enough to believe no answer will satisfy everyone and some relief is necessary.
Let's join together and agree these debts should be forgiven:
"... a class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of some 160,000 former for-profit college students seeking loan forgiveness on the grounds that they were defrauded."
"President Joe Biden has vowed to reverse DeVos’ approach and restore Obama-era policies that were designed to more easily relieve the debts of students who were misled or cheated by their college."
