I applaud

for considering extending the pause on student loan payments, but I want him to go even further and forgive up to $50k in student loan debt, which could allow working families to open a business, buy a home, and continue growing our economy.

That should be applied to parent plus loans which will remove the burden from parents that got the loans for their children if you like to help the families

No. It is a benefit for the privileged few that go to college. Student loan forgiveness would be just as bad as bailing out the banks.

NO. Absurd. Defer…not delete. Eliminate interest for a period- but they signed up for it.

With all due respect, college is too expensive and just forgiving debt postpones the real issue: why is college so expensive?

Cancel ALL of it.

Doesn’t solve the underlying problem at all, still leaves a lot of people in serious debt. The $50k approach isn’t a solution. It’s a band aide on a gaping wound.
