The proposed cancellation of more than $400 billion in student debt would have been one of the most expensive executive actions in U.S. history. President Biden vowed to try again.
There are plenty of campaigns against for-profit debt already making progress.
Besides, the data is already all out there, and that’s what I’m interested in spreading.
Costs less than a percent of the US budget to pay for free higher education, and in 2-8 years, the US would have a new productive generation of doctors, scientists, engineers and other professionals. It’s a pretty obvious win.
Some of the craziest conversations I have had are with libertarians.
“We don’t need a department of education, we just need to be friends with our neighbors and the neighborhood pools it’s money to hire teachers who come from somewhere that we all agree are great because in this fantasy I get along with all of my neighbors perfectly and our values are aligned and then we rent a building or we build a building or we use someone’s home and we just teach the kids there!”
Oh like public school? Like a public school with extra steps?

I love how folks like to pick political ideologies like their favorite sports team. Like you can only use one tool to build a house.
And the choice is often so remarkably ill-considered, if considered at all. Like buying a house based on the color of the mailbox.
