Questions:
- Is it fair for the government to cancel large amounts of student debt if it mainly benefits high-earning individuals while potentially burdening taxpayers who didn’t have student debt or have already paid it off?
- Should the government focus on fixing the higher education system and controlling tuition costs instead of just canceling student debt to ensure long-term benefits for future students and society?
- Pick a thinker we discussed in class, and discuss how they would view this ethical issue.
