Feels like something my wife and I signed up for ages ago and haven't seen a penny. Not that I find it at all surprising, but it feels like it got pretty close to actually happening...

If you aren't from the US, how was your higher education experience?

I don't care if it passes SCOTUS or not. I say this as someone with current student loans, what matters most is directing that money towards public institutions to drive down tuition for students right now.

Forgiving student debt doesn't solve the problem, it just pushes it onto the next generation. Let's actually solve the tuition crisis first.

Making college education free is what I was thinking. We already funded public education, what one more for college/universities? Our country is mostly operated on high skill workforce, so why not make it a policy in this country?

We should, at minimum, undo the cuts to college that happened in the great recession. I'll be over here holding my breath.
