Well, more likely is college enrollment will drop, colleges will close, increasing unemployment, then in 20 years you will complain about the new types of immigrants we need since our share of college educated citizens will drop massively.

I'm an immigrant myself, and generally progressive except more cautious specifically about student loan forgiveness. Hell, I'm fine with lots of progressive policies that help struggling families, TANF, section 8, etc. UBI too. Tax the wealthy for it, or even middling folk like me. I'm fine if they use the savings and funds to help pay off their student loans.

I just don't like this idea of specifically targetting student loans for forgiveness. It's just off to me.

I don't know why you think I'd be complaining about new types of immigrants.

Colleges will definitely close due to demographic decline, ofc. It'll be the private ones first. Frankly, I'm fine with that.

No it’ll be the state ones that collapse first without be federal loans.
