Not unless they’re going to reimburse me / my parents for being responsible to save and work to pay for college with minimal loans and for picking college where together it was affordable (no Ivy League for me).
I’m with this dad:

Yea I agree with some of these thoughts - unless you find a way to make it equitable to those who struggled and got them paid off, unless you can put some base value because let’s be honest all colleges/degrees are not equal so you can’t blanket pay the same for all of them and you need to teach the youth the value vs cost equation as well as what it means to take a loan - so for many reasons this is a much more nuanced argument than some would have you believe - e.g.: a private college often has higher loans without the higher benefit - cost/benefit of different programs within the same college/university, etc etc
Genuine question: if student loans are cancelled or forgiven, is all future college education free? If not, what’s the argument for forgiving existing student loans, but making incoming college students take out new loans?
I’ve seen these plans coupled (forgiving student loans and making public colleges more affordable or free).
Pro
Joining the US military provides some student loan forgiveness. I think some sort of community or country Service should be required. Not just fee forgiveness. Then we should reform guideline for student debt. No 22yo should be able to get $200k debt accumulated when there are perfectly good education options at far lower cost.
This is the reality of most Ivy League schools they are $50K per year. Can you imagine the cost for a 4 year education?

No, it doesn't fix anything. What should happen is a plan to reduce college expenses and work towards making college free, or severely discounted in the future. Also, telling people to just join the military is tone deaf and not a valid option for some people.
Pro
No. I watched my dad work 70-80 hour weeks for the majority of my childhood. He didn’t have a college degree and his dream was for my brother and I to both graduate college without debt. He made it happen and I know that didn’t just happen. During grad school, I worked as a TA to have part of of my tuition covered. Between that, working another job, and actually going to class, I was exhausted and worked really hard. Had I not taken the TA job to have tuition covered, I could have taken a full time job and gotten paid a lot more.
There’s just so many people that this wouldn’t be fair to, including those who have paid their loans off postgrad, ROTC/military, and so many more.
I truly think so many of our problems stem from the fact that people don’t take personal responsibility. Waiving student loans just teaches the idea that you get rewarded for not taking personal responsibility.
Pro
Yes but I know realistically it won’t happen since only a small % of the US suffers from them (I think 40%) so majority of Americans wouldn’t support an initiative if it impacts them. So at least if interest rates were lowered like they are now so im paying the actual principal, that would be super helpful on my wallet and give me almost $1000 back each month.

If I can get a tax credit equivalent to my student loans that are paid off (took 17 years to pay them off) then cool.
Rising Star
Yes.
I would love for my student loans to be forgiven, but I’m not sure that it will have the desired effects.
Would I buy a house, yes but I would also save a lot more thus not putting my money into the economy.
Maybe a reduction in interest rates would be nice. Technically federal loan holders don’t pay back the full amount borrowed anyway. If I pay a certain amount for the next 10 years I will have at least 50% of my loans forgiven.
And that program you’re referencing has many issues. In fact, most are not qualifying https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/06/problems-continue-for-the-public-service-loan-forgiveness-program.html
I think they should be interest free but not forgiven, a small portion of my loan funded a trip to Europe and I don’t believe people/government should pay for that and I know there are a lot of people who have done the same. Look at countries with free education. In majority of them, people stay in school for ever. People don’t appreciate something that is completely free as much ( think about all the free conferences that people miss- you would never miss a conference you paid $100 for)
