Since the topic of forgiving student loans has been mentioned here a couple times recently, I figured we should get an expert opinion on the issue.
Forgive Student Loans? Worst Idea Ever.
So, can you think of a reasonable rebuttal to one of the 5 reasons not to do it?
ETA: In my opinion, forgiving student loans is a pretty bad idea, for at least the reasons given. If you want to hand out free money, give it to the people who need it first, determined by actual need; don't use an unconnected metric of "went to college" to determine where it should go.
