Another argument against stu dent loan cancellation is that it does not address the ongoing problem of tuition increases for college students. College tuition will continue to increase regard less of debt cancellation. However, some debt cancellation does not mean that the problem of increas ing tuition is no longer addressed.

An obligation made at 17 years of age has affected my brother for over 15 years. A few weeks ago, President Biden and other Democratic party lawmakers de cided action should replace talk.
There are those on one side who hate this whole thing and question why “they” must pay for anything when “they” paid off their loans accordingly. Ironical ly, I am one of the “they,” so I get it. But cycles are meant to be bro ken, and I am more than willing to take part in the fun. In fact, let me be one of the millions who took out a loan, worked hard to pay it off, and now, I am in a po sition to help provide relief for the many today who are staring down debt in a world filled with doubt, disease, war, and tur moil. Why? Because like “them,” I went to school with the same sort of hope and understanding that it was what I needed to do to be successful. But unlike so many, my debt wasn’t crippling, and a series of fortunate events helped me to graduate. So, here I am, debt-free with employment that my college degree helped secure. I also sort of believe in that whole “I am my brother’s keeper” thing.

Many people who did not quali fy for loan forgiveness have already repaid their student loans. Is it fair that they paid when many others will have at least $10,000 forgiv en? And, what about the people who do not go to college? Is it fair that they do not receive some type of substantial relief?
There’s True Meaning in Student Loan Forgiveness
The president claims that this will help the United States econ omy.According to Scott Horsley with NPR.org, “debt forgiveness has the potential to raise the living stan dard for tens of millions of people.”
Alito goes on to explain that we need to heed the Constitution and it does not say anything about abortions. My argument against that would be that we are promised life and liberty and taking away our right to choose by putting it in the state’s hands is a direct attack on our liberty as individuals. Does the Constitution say anything about other medical procedures and our freedom to receive them?

Therelief.reality is higher education is expensive for reasons many don’t understand. It does not always make sense. According to the Education Data Initiative, in 2007 when I graduated from college, the cost of annual tuition for a public four-year college was $5,666, and it was $20,517 for a four-year private school.
In the meantime, we’ll cheer for relief, one less thing one must pay for. I’ll also appreciate the fact that a government has heeded the demands of an im portant part of its base, provid ing us with a great case study of democracy in action.

President Biden argues that with a decrease in monthly loan payments for those who qualify, people will have more money to spend. If the cancellation stimu lates the economy, why is it a bad thing?InHorsley’s article, “Is it fair to forgive student loans? Examining three of the arguments of a heated debate,” he analyzes some of the arguments against student loan cancellation.Someeconomists argue that it will exacerbate inflation. At a time when the Federal Reserve is in creasing interest rates to alleviate inflation,Horsley indicates an estimated 43 million people will see a re duction in their student loan pay ments and 20 million will have their student loans completely for given. For 63 million people, loan cancellation and partial loan can cellation will be a blessing.

Overall, it seems that President Biden’s move to cancel some stu dent debt is a benefit to the stu dents with loans and to the econ omy.

The Bureau of Labor Statis tics reported an 8.5% increase in the Consumer Price Index for all items from July 2021 to July 2022. This is among the highest inflation figures observed since the early 1980s. Consumer food prices increased 10.9 percent from July 2021 to July 2022. It is the largest 12-month increase since the period ending May 1979.This is the world my nephew came into and my brother is par enting in, but he started college in a different world.

Abortion is a safe, sometimes medically necessary procedure that has come so far from where it started. Most can now be per formed at home. They affect only the individual having the proce dure.Tobring everything back into fo cus, we should not make decisions around choice harder for women, when so many other public threats are more pressing and harmful to the community. It seems like it will only incite more frustration with the government and further divide us as a nation; contrary to what Alito hoped to achieve. A baby in the womb is worth two in the world.
Years ago, my brother attend ed college in Northern Califor nia but never graduated. During that time, he took out a loan to help support his education and living. A series of unfortunate circumstances forced him to drop out, but like so many, he remained on the hook for repay ment of the loan.

This is a huge relief for com munity college students who cur rently have student loan debt up to $10,000 (or $20,000 for the
recipients of the Pell Grant). For many, it’s a weight or a partial weight (for those who owe more than $10,000) lifted off their shoulders.Weknow that education is a powerful tool in decreasing pover ty. If a smaller portion of the popu lation lives in poverty, it seems like the economy, in general, would benefit from the economic stabil ity of its citizens.
Perhaps, but is that relevant when so many community college students struggle financially? It will also benefit students in that they may be able to continue and complete their educations with the relief of less student debt. That also seems like it would assist in stabilizing the economy.

President Biden announced student loan debt cancellation of up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt per borrower and up to $20,000 in debt cancellation for Pell Grant recipients.
According to a White House fact sheet on the Student Loan Forgiveness program, the De partment of Education will pro vide up to $20,000 in debt can cellation to Pell Grant recipients with loans held by the Depart ment of Education, and up to $10,000 in debt cancellation to non-Pell Grant recipients. Bor rowers are eligible for this relief if their individual income is less than $125,000 ($250,000 for married couples).

Socializing can be one of the hard parts of being a foster child, as most move at least five times while they are in the system, ac cording to the Children’s Law Center of California. Very few are lucky enough to stay in the same home or only move once.
Some are on the extreme side of the spectrum and move mul tiple times, which makes social interactions difficult.
