Subsidizing student debt incentivizes student debt.
Generally agree with the sentiment, just pointing out some nuance.
Subsidizing student debt incentivizes education.
Assuming (big assumption I know) that education is productive/useful and not "underwater basket weaving".
student debt is not.
Made me think of the bad Debt vs good debt debate.
in either case it is not fair to have to pay for something you get nothing out of.
Like I said there are hundreds of examples, but we have selective outrage from the right. The left is no better.
Agreed about selective outrage from the right & left.
Although not sure about "something you get nothing out of". Student debt encourages education and by extension a more productive advanced country, and child tax credits encourages larger families/national population which also generally boosts the country, so in both cases the individual paying taxes
is gaining.
