John,
The cost of a college education has skyrocketed over the years, leaving
tens of millions of students drowning in debt.
While President Joe Biden has recently canceled up to $20,000 in student
loan debt per borrower, the cost of a college education is still rising at
an unsustainable rate.
That means this one-time debt forgiveness program will do nothing for
future students enrolling in college or for students who have already paid
2 to 3 times what they initially took out, but still owe tens of thousands
more in debt.
We shouldn’t be punishing people for seeking higher education, especially
when the ticket to good-paying jobs requires higher education degrees.
Students are left with no choice but to take on debt to move ahead and it
doesn't have to be this way.
This is a system that is forced on them and that’s why college should be
available and accessible to everyone who wants to attend it -- no matter
their race, gender, zip code, or income.
[ [link removed] ]Demand Congress make the most substantial federal investment in higher
education in modern American history by eliminating tuition and fees at
public colleges and universities and refinancing old debt with 0% interest
rates so that no person continues to pay more than what they initially
took out.
