Very wealthy people already have a student loan forgiveness program. It’s called their parents. The idea that millionaires and billionaires are willingly letting their kids drown in federal student loans & that’s why we can’t go big on forgiveness is about as silly as it sounds.
Average student loan debt in the US is ~$30k (LOTS have more) Many won’t fully feel $10k in forgiveness until after a Biden presidency is over, when they’ve spent 10 years paying off the other $20k+ Dems should be championing policy that people can feel ASAP. We need to go big.
As a former foster youth in debt from college, THANK YOU!
The wealthy never even took out loans.
They have tax loopholes, carried interest, massive write offs and generational wealth transfer and on and on.
We need to cancel ALL of it

btw, 50k of student debt is easy to rack up.. especially once you graduate, the interest is awful.
My GF has a master's and an MBA. She's paid every month since graduating in 2012. She owes more now than she did then.
Currently, the stability of my future depends on the cancelation of student loans.
I'm going to cash out my kids' college savings now. Why should I save for them if they can just run up cancelleable debt?
The real question is: why should the richest country in the world make their citizens “run up debt” to become educated - when no other civilized nation does? When education builds our national infrastructure and influence to higher levels? Predatory loans need to be obsolete.
