If one student chooses to get their degree from a state school at a cost of $10k/year, and another student chooses to go to a private school at $50k/year, why should taxpayers reward the second student, for making a poor financial choice, with 5x the funds?

If there’s going to be student loan debt forgiveness, at least max it out at that person’s average in-state public tuition rate.

When students and universities are both just spending other people’s money, there’s no thought toward financial viability, and the prices will only keep escalating.
