Oh another Q I had was the student debt relief.
Isn't student debt relief just a short term fix? Yes debt relief is something I would vote for, but Like that money has to go somewhere right? Wouldn't it be better to lower the cost of the out of control education or health care first to make it easier to provide more affordable universal care in the future?
Unless other country with universal care charge $20 for a cough drop at the distributor level for hospitals, then disregard my statement 😄
Why not give people student debt relief and make college free and have universal healthcare? It's not like you have to pick one.
I am just going to guess no one will make that happen for another 150 years, but it's a nice dream isn't it.
But my rationality is if you start with a long term plan for universal health and education, debt relief would follow suit.
I am just confused why debt relief is headlined and no long term solutions, as if the culture wants to hide long term solutions.
Debt relief can literally change lives right now. Long term changes are important, but the positive impact on actual current living situations is huge.
