I keep seeing Europe and mention of their free schooling as justification for the current suggestion of just forgiving all these student loans.

You are comparing a process that is already in place, and everybody has the process to now take advantage of...to a process that only impacts the people who made worse decisions.

I know we have already had this discussion, but what exactly happens to the people who made shitty decisions, and just get all of that debt forgiven? What sort of life lesson does that teach them?

That our hyper-capitalistic society that profits from debt is failing us and that it celebrates profit generation over education.

"Hey, let's all get educated for the betterment of society but only if you can afford it.  If you can't afford it, you can't help further our progress."

Are we just going to ignore the fact that K-12 is already socialized?  I'd really love to hear 1 solid reason why it should end there. 

Yeah it is just insane how it is even possible in America to make such profits on the back of people that still need to grow up mentally and sometimes put them in them in debt for a good amount of years ofcourse i'm not saying that everyone should pay for everyones educations but firstly the prices for it and the whole profiting from it should be toned down by a lot,most of those educations can be much cheaper.

And when it gets cheaper it wont be such a big deal to pay some for the benefit of all,like here in Europe.

But it always saddens me when i think of so many people still so early in their lives being worried about money.
