Forgiving Student Debt Would Boost Economy, Economists Say

Forgiving student debt is, in my view, admitting that our college system is no longer worth its cost for many who borrow aganist their future life, and sacrifice much to attend. The root issue is that degrees no longer reliably indicate higher competencies. Anyone hiring recently will notice the difference between degree holders and those without, is mainly their economic background, ocassionaly their drive, and seldom their critical thinking skills.<p>While forgiveness for students might be proper, scrutiny must be redoubled back at the institutions that drove this crisis.

If I could get student debt forgiven, I&#x27;d go back to college full-time.

or just stop subsidizing a retarded system and instead align the incentives between the business(colleges) and the customers(students) like Lambda school does.

We don&#x27;t exactly need a boost to the economy right now.
