Causing the discussion to shift to the question: will this be a short-term band-aid that doesn't solve the actual problem? Carlo mentions the recent study showing student debt will rise to current levels in 10-15 years, arguing that forgiving student loans for this generation will only shunt the problem to the next.Both Amy and Carlo agree we must acknowledge that the system we currently have in place is producing the problems we currently face and that allocating energy and resources to create novel solutions to the root problems is needed.
