[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not support debt forgiveness. I’d be pissed. 
Maybe we need to recognize that 100% college participation goal is not justified or appropriate. What college graduates are going to want to drive a bus, or pick strawberries, or work in a meat processing plant?

My point is that the people who drive the bus, pick the strawberries, and process meat are important too. We need to make things suck less for people who work manual jobs or in the service industry, or in the trades, instead of college being the only “way out” of a hard life.

Our system needs to stop incentivizing the production of white collar workers because we are not that special. I am one of them - a fed paper pusher of sorts. I am paid well. Of all of the white collar positions I have held, the thing I am doing now is the most meaningful. But a lot of white collar work does not provide as great a benefit to society as the salaries would suggest.

I paid off my undergrad loans. I could not afford grad school and had to work up the ladder to get where I am. I do not wish to subsidize those who pursued advanced degrees and got a leg up, when I had to work very hard to get where I am. [/quote]

Very unrealistic and would be shouted down as racist. Who would end up forgoing college because of cost? POC. Loan forgiveness is basically a pressure release valve for some major social problems happening in our society. However, no one is going to vote for forgiveness that only benefits low income because this is the US.[/quote]

Lol you don’t think people have been forgoing college because of cost since, forever? They have. Not saying that’s how it should be. [/quote]
