Wisconsin Debate Hall
Student Loan Forgiveness
Relief for borrowers vs fairness for taxpayers — should student debt be forgiven?
How It Works
Debate Hall is structured — not chaotic.
Two sides. A vote. Then the discussion.
1) Read both sides
Start with the strongest version of each argument.
2) Vote first
Choose your position before seeing the results.
3) Debate the idea
Attack arguments, not people.
Forgiveness Helps Borrowers
Student debt should be forgiven
Strongest case: A generation of borrowers carries large debt burdens from an education system where tuition increased dramatically faster than wages.
- Economic relief
- More home buying and family formation
- Stimulates economic growth
- Corrects systemic problems with tuition
Forgiveness Is Unfair
Student debt should not be forgiven
Strongest case: Forgiveness shifts the burden to taxpayers — including those who did not attend college or already paid off their loans.
- Taxpayer burden
- Unfair to borrowers who repaid
- Encourages future borrowing
- Does not fix tuition inflation
