Student debt forgiveness has the potential to be a divisive issue politically. While it may benefit a significant portion of the population, there are concerns about the burden it places on the majority who do not directly benefit. This raises questions about fairness and accountability. Additionally, if student debt is forgiven, it opens the door for other groups to request debt forgiveness based on their own crises or issues. The process of forgiving student debt should be debated and passed as a law in Congress, rather than being determined through executive action. Furthermore, there is a concern that this forgiveness may primarily benefit the professional class while neglecting the working class, leading to potential political consequences. The majority of the country is still working class, and they may not view student debt forgiveness as a priority compared to other economic concerns.
