No. That's mighty presumptive of you. Play the game as the rules are. I'm suggesting loan forgiveness is a half-measure and it never should have been offered by politicians without solving the problem of unaffordable education. Otherwise, this isn't a solution, it's just a band-aid on a gaping still-bleeding wound that needs stitches. It doesn't solve the problem, but it does create inequity.

How is this down voted. You're speaking facts lol. It's a shitty bandaid solution

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Because it completely ignores the fact that it does solve the problem for a lot of people, and they don't want to do it because it doesn't help everyone.

Because a half measure is better than no measure

We could do both, but you asked why it was being down voted. The down voted text says that politicians never should have offered loan forgiveness. They explicitly said we shouldn't do both.

I mean, i still agree. I rather have them put the same energy first in fixing the actual problem. And then the bandaid solution

But if the rules of the game suck, perhaps the rules need to be changed, no?
