> I'm fine with student loan forgiveness

Why? Is that so different? I'd consider owning ones own home via a mortgage to be more sensible than overspending on a student loan.

I would agree that higher education shouldn't be the price it is and should be funded. However, student loan forgiveness is kind of back door higher education funding, it's pretty odd.

I don’t like bailouts of any sort tbh. I think there should be a post secondary state paid option though. Not because I love paying taxes, but because I think society at large will benefit.
