Yes and no. They spend so much time at school and other things they are concentrating their efforts elsewhere, and parents these days aren't known for their culinary skill either, tbh.

Do You Support Forgiving $10,000 Of Student Loan Debt?

I had the hardship of working my way through college enabling me to pay back my student loans. We should not expect our children's generation having such burdensome student loan debt, they being college educated might very well enrich most everybody,
I voted "Unsure," which I'll bet a lot of members think odd for me.
The problem is, I hold two separate and unrelated views that conflict here.
I think that in the modern world, technological world education is so important that it ought to be considered indispensible, like healthcare, and paid for for all who want out of general tax revenues. On that basis, one would think I'd vote in favour of Biden's plan.
But, I also think we should honour those contracts that we have bound ourselves to. If I borrow money to buy a car, a house, or an education (since the government is paying for it yet), then I am responsible to pay that money back, and I think that I should do exactly that.

Please let us regard student loan debt forgiveness as being fair social justice, because there should have been tuition free college in the first place.
So you think the program should include retroactive reimbursement for people who paid off their student loans already?
I'd be down with that.
Sure, if there's overall societal benefit is there.
I tend to try to stay away from deciding what "is" from what "should have been." It's not that I disagree with what you've said, it's that I think it is dangerous to suppose that we can ask today's taxpayers to pay for all the ills of the past.
It works well here.

If Biden really wanted to do a favor, he would have addressed the astronomical interest rates and the price gouging of student's sky high tuition costs by colleges and universities.

Biden Doesn’t Have Legal Authority To Cancel Student Loans, But Is Nancy Pelosi Wrong?
What's up with this one?

Of course some rich are indeed benefiting from this! The wealthy owners of the colleges and universities are. But that is even beyond the point. I wrote a special interest group is benefiting. And that is morally wrong, fiscally unsound, and rank abuse. President Biden and the leftists who support this malfeasance should be held to account for this theft.

I think this is good for this thread.
Am I supposed to be impressed because you took money from others who are probably even less affluent than you? I’m not. Taking public funds to benefit a special interest group is mean spirited and morally wrong. Shame on you for going along with it. You and yours assumed the debt. Taking other people’s money to pay for it is shameful.Pffft... My family will get ten thousand dollars of student loan debt cancellation for my daughter's college education, and I would hardly consider myself as being a rich college plutocrat; albeit, me being considered as a semi-wealthy college educated partial plutocrat might not be too far off the mark. ,,,
Harvard has an endowment of over $53,000,000,000. It will be a beneficiary of the debt transfer. (Transfer, not forgiveness) Taxpayers will share this transferred debt. Including low income earners. Shame on you or anyone else for supporting this immoral taking of wealth.

No links, no sources, but a nasty moral judgement on character.

As a matter of fact, it increased the deficit more than any other bill passed in all of American history.
Shhhhhhh-- you see, the Pubs only cry "deficit!" when the Dems do it. Don't tell them that, OK?

That's called "taxes", and every country in the world has them.
