I'm creating this thread to talk about politics and things not pertaining to Trump. As enticing as the impeach Trump thread has been, he's no longer president and I'm tired of talking about him. I also don't think it's the place to talk about the new admin.
Anyway, I read today that Biden is against the $50k debt cancellation of student loans and I'm actually okay with this. I don't think people going to Ivy League schools should get to do so for free. Moreso than that, how are we going to pay for this?
Cancelling up to $10k in debt or allowing up to $10k in college loans to be written off on taxes is easier to stomach. Make college more affordable, loans interest-free provided regular payments are made (exceptions for hardships) and you can get kids into schools without sacrificing their financial future.
I would honestly like to be more radical and really understand the need for two years of general as I find these to be a waste of time and money for 'allied' courses that may have nothing to do with your major. Maybe reduce them down to one year as a starting point. Kind of feel like we have four years of college for the sole purposes of collegiate sports which is funny as those students are usually only there because they have to be in order to meet 1 year deadlines for NBA or 3 year deadlines for NFL.
