Topic	why shouldn't we reimburse people who already paid off their student loans?

Or is there something else to it? Presumably because it would one: drastically increase the cost of such a proposal, and two: force somebody to to make the unpopular decision of how far back we go before we stop paying out. Personally, I'm not sure that blanket loan forgiveness in any form is an effective policy. I don't suspect we'll get anything more nuanced than that though during the election cycle. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
