Student debt shouldn’t exist in the first place. Putting further education behind a paywall is a sign that the system is innately flawed.

We don’t want some of the current debt to be taken care of, we want it fixed at the systemic level. Just because I get my 70k of debt hand waved away doesn’t mean the next guy is gonna get the same. There is no point in alleviating a small bit of student loan debt when student loan debt is still going to be a chronic issue with the next generation of students while the next set of filthy rich white capitalists proceed to do whatever they can to get richer off the backs of us poors through predetory loan practices, profit prisons and unlimited wars against the global south.

Biden paying off that 8% of loans might as well be throwing money away. It would be better suited feeding the unhoused since he isn’t actually doing shit to fix the real issue at hand.
