Against Student Loan Debt Relief

Since there is renewed talk about President Biden considering student loan relief, starting at $10,000 per borrower, I am releasing my Substack essay from November 2020 entitled Fiscal Responsibility Extends to Educational Choices.

Spoiler: I am against canceling student loan debt. Ambitious yuppies need to pay their bills, and governmental aid needs to be focused on those who are truly disadvantaged.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Education is the only sector of spending where people bizarrely think fiscal responsibility doesn’t apply. You can borrow any amount for any degree and it’s instantly justified because “It’s education!” https://t.co/JelmPELCsW
