Also, are those federal or private loans?
No way they are federal. $31K limit for dependents, $57k for independents…
Grad School has $20K limits per year.

In other words she wants relief for credit card debt.
Welcome to the real world.
Would that include paying rent?

I’m 32 years old now,” the congresswoman said. “I have over $17,000 in student loan debt

You can't give unlimited loans on the front-end where schools get into building arms races then jack up prices - while at the same time forgiving them on the back end.
It's just a crazy grovernment subsidy to schools, without any power to control costs. (Reminds me of healthcare)

I generally agree except I think we should have a one-time forgiveness in May of 2024, possibly a follow up 2 years later, and one more in 2041.

I finished college with 200 GBP more than I started with. It cost my parents about 200 pounds a year, I think (to cover living expenses). Fees were paid automatically, and I got about 2 thousand a year to live on.

That was 11 years ago.
Now it is really, really expensive.

"Move along, nothing to see here" in 300 pages. I don't suspect it's aged well, if it was ever meaningful in the first place.
