I worked through college. Became a teacher, which in the first years paid very little, and even now doesn't pay much. I struggled to pay my college debt, and that's despite inheriting a house. I can't imagine what i would've done if I had to pay rent on top of that, and things have only gotten worse since. I'm 100% okay with other people having their debt forgiven, even though I paid mine. Just because I struggled, doesn't mean other people should have to. We need to simultaneously address the raising cost of college, and alleviate the difficulties of people already in debt. Going into debt to buy a fancy car isn't the same as going into debt to get an education. College used to be affordable. It's not anymore, and hasn't been for a while. And that's precisely why we should help people. Because college should be affordable. A well educated populace is the best defense against tyranny.
