> Doesn't loan forgiveness just encourage MORE lending? Does a rational person base their lending decisions on a chance of politically precarious one-off presidential forgiveness?
The average person has more loans than were forgiven and the plan included more than just forgiveness. Again, it's a start.
> Should we cancel child support debts for any 18 year old who knocked up a girl after she begged for it? Just trying to figure out when 18 year olds are allowed to be held responsible for their debts. A child is also a big gift and investment worthy of society investing in, so if education is worth society paying for without 'trapping' the 18 year old, then we can also excuse 18 year olds of 'predatory' child support.
You're taking this to the extreme position that I want us to hold 18 year olds responsible for nothing ever. Also you seem to not understand that malicious contracts exist or that they can be invalidated even when signed. Maybe you just don't believe it's predatory in this case. IDK. Anyway, I refuse to entertain that student loans are comparable to child support so I'm done here.
