The idea that college is a scam and not worth the steep price has been hotly debated for years. Now, it is in the forefront of the news with Biden’s new student loan forgiveness plan. Many people believe that the plan is morally and fiscally wrong.

Canceling student debt will wind up increasing the cost of tuition since payment will be guaranteed.
