Appearing on Fox News, Steve Forbes argued the progressive wing of the Democrat party’s plan to cancel student debt would “make a mockery” of those who paid.
Forbes said the plan “makes people who paid their debts, took their obligations seriously, look like fools.”[contentad widget=”427100″]
He asked “And if they have this debt forgiveness of any kind of scale, we’re going to have people wondering, ‘Why should I pay those obligations? Why should I take those extra jobs? Why should I sacrifice a private university to go to an in-state university to save money and honor my obligations?’”
He continued by asking “So, you make a mockery of people who’ve played by the rules and this gets to the big issue which is, why are college tuitions rising a four times the rate of inflation—the sticker price—which are they rising eight times the cash wages of working Americans?”
