re: #209 steve_davis

not sure how I feel about reparations. My Pennsylvania great-great uncles fought in a war to destroy slavery. I think we did our part. I also really, really don’t want to pay for someone else’s stupid student loan decisions, thank you very much.

Reparations are not just about slavery as mentioned above.

As for those student loan decisions, I was lucky to graduate without debt with the aid of Social Security, BEOG funding and cheap in-state tuition. Part-time student jobs dishwashing or working in the library helped cover the rest.

University tuition has increased at a rate of something like 300% over inflation, there is something wrong with that. I would support a plan to forgive some or all outstanding debt.
