It’s an acknowledgment that the cost 💲 associated with higher education is getting to a point where young students are so saddled with debt 💸 they feel that they can’t breathe 🧘🏽‍♂️ 🌬️… college education like medical 🏥 care in the United States 🇺🇸 is a reflection of ruthlessness of a system where capitalism has run 🏃🏽‍♂️ amuck. Where higher education and health care are only for the wealthy OR if not then the middle and lower classes will be forever under water 💦 money 💰 wise . Student 👨🏽‍🎓 loan debt forgiveness (like Obamacare a decade ago) is a good 👍🏾 first step for addressing the issue. Now there needs to be a shifting consciousness where piblicky funded state schools 🏫 get back to their original values where it will be truly affordable to in state applicants respectively.

The economic and societal impacts of student loan debt forgiveness could be significant. See, a lot of folks these days are carrying a heavy load of student loan debt, and it's really putting the squeeze on their finances. If we were to forgive some or all of that debt, it could free up a lot of cash that could be used for other things, like buying a home, starting a business, or just plain old living life.

Now, some folks might argue that forgiving student loan debt would be unfair to those who have already paid off their loans or never took out loans in the first place. And that's a fair point. But I think we need to look at the bigger picture here. If we can help a lot of people get out from under the burden of student loan debt, we could create a more vibrant and dynamic economy, with more people participating in the workforce, starting businesses, and contributing to their communities.

On the societal side of things, forgiving student loan debt could also have a positive impact on mental health. I know a lot of folks who are really stressed out about their student loans, and if we could alleviate some of that stress, it could be a real game-changer. Plus, it could help level the playing field for folks who come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have to take on more debt to get an education.

So, to sum it up, I think there are a lot of potential benefits to forgiving student loan debt. Of course, we'd need to figure out the details of how it would work and who would be eligible, but I think it's worth exploring.
