Forgive student loans has to come with fully free education, since the people who give student loans will start to be more selective on who they give loans to, or stop all together and then nobody gets loans. I don't think either of these things will happen. We can solve the problem and only this generation will have to deal with it but stopping people from getting loans for stupid degrees that don't pay.
But it isn't fair. It's obscenely unfair. Had I known I could have gone to an expensive, elite, University at your expense, I might not have commuted by public bus to a community college for the first two years to save money, and then worked full time while completing the next two years at an inexpensive local college.
It's not a strawman, it's a serious concern of many people, primarily because there is no talk of fixing the actual problem, just handing out more money as a bandaid to a few.
When people are defrauded financially, how should they be helped? Or should they at all?
What were the consequences for the higher-ups at Corinthian Colleges vs. the hundreds of thousands of students who were defrauded? What should those consequences be?
A right-wing propaganda piece falsely citing a left-wing propaganda piece arguing for a policy that Biden has not embraced as “confirming” an explanation the cited article offers no support for for a phenomenon (Biden’s support for that policy) that does not exist is... an interesting thing to see.

Once loans aren't available, tuitions will drop like a rock and the system will get much fairer.
