It's just another way to buy votes from college students who don't know any better.

Regarding the student loan forgiveness, I didn't ask for this program and just a mere potential recipient. It just happened to be offered, and while offered, I decided to take advantage of it by applying for it. Just as the PPP/SBA Loans were available due to COVID, people took advantage of this option, and also took advantage at the opportunity to get these forgiven when offered.
I still get potential clients that tell me "If you can't get me a 2% interest rate on my mortgage loan, then don't talk to me". My response to them: "You're only about 2 years late".
Point I'm trying to make is looks like it's a timing issue.
Sidebar question and with all due respect Rusty: IF you/your daughter still had a balance on the student loan, and an opportunity came about for them to be forgiven, would you proceed or decline?
