Im no Trump fan but he waived interest on student loan debt. It helps. And see how easy that was? Did any of you lose your homes or jobs? Did any of you lose food from your plate or have to trade your unnecessary massive Dodge F7500 Planet Killer pickup in for a Prius?
No. No you didnt. Literally all it did was help students.
Waive all student loan debt. Literally no reason not to.
What Trump did regarding "temporarily" waiving the "interest" on the loan, was okay....BUT....Ask yourself what the purpose of interest is.
If an individual goes to an agency and says, "I want some money so that I can go to college, get a degree and then a job related to my field of study." If the agency were to say, okay, and give the individual the money, with "no" interest.....there would be no benefit to the agency. The people in the agency wouldn't be making any money and thus no pay. No pay, no purpose of being there, as you can't feed your family and say in your residence without an income. In short, the agency would simply collapse.
As for forgivnng all student debt, the above holds true also. The students were given money, not as a gift but as a mutially agreed upon contract of loan. No agency can exist if it just gives away money. Sooner or later, you run out of money. The same with governments. Sooner or later, you empty everyone's pockets and history has repeatedly shown that when that happens, the government prints more money, drastically reducing its value and that is when you have people literally bringing in "wheelbarrows" full of paper money that is practically worthless (runaway inflation).
Then of course, there's that pesky thing about the individual sitting down, being explained their responsibility with regards to the loan, agreeing to the responsibility and "signing" the loan document. What that individual did was essentially swearing on his/her signature (oath) that he/she would pay them back the loan, plus the interest.
What he/she is essentially saying is: "I" will pay you back, I swear." If they don't do it themselves or look to someone else to pay off the loan, in essence, when they give their word to do something, you can know that their "word" doesn't mean anything and can't be trusted.
Then, there's the other factor in this.....their college "major." If some fool gets a loan for his/her college education and majors in such idiotic subjects as "Gender Studies," "Fine Arts," "Theology," "Sociology," "Psychology," or "Travel," then those individuals are wasting the money they were loaned, as well as the time of the lenders and are most likely not to be able to get a job.
