Let's Hear It for This Hero Dad

It's not that I don't feel sorry for the kids who were scammed into going to college despite their manifest lack of academic preparation or clear career goals -- but college loan forgiveness is a terrible idea. As the dad in the clip above points out, such a plan would punish those who made sound financial choices for the sake of those who didn't. And yes, as the Fox commentators point out, it's also deeply regressive in general; essentially, loan forgiveness takes money from working class folks who didn't go to college and funnels it to bourgie schools with (in many cases) multi-million dollar endowments. No: Ms. Warren and her ideological compatriots are completely wrong on this issue, and I'm glad someone had the balls to make that plain.
