Canceling part of federal student debt aims to relieve financial burden and stimulate the economy. Opponents argue it’s unfair to those who have repaid or never attended college.

Pros:
  • It boosts disposable income and consumer spending.
  • It reduces stress and mental-health strains on young adults.
  • It may narrow racial and income-based wealth gaps.

Cons:
  • It risks moral hazard, encouraging future borrowing.
  • The fiscal cost could exacerbate budget deficits.
  • Benefits accrue unevenly to higher-earning graduates.

Conclusion: Debt forgiveness offers relief and growth but demands careful eligibility and fiscal safeguards.
