A comment I made during a recent appearance on KUED’s The Hinckley Report seems to be resonating on social media. It was to the effect that federal student loan forgiveness solves nothing because it doesn’t tackle the real problem, which is the high cost of higher education.
Many students had to take out loans this month for a new school year, just as they will next fall. How long will it be before this new group of indebted students demands forgiveness, just as President Joe Biden gave their older brothers and sisters?
