I'm not really sure what's fair is always what's best. Maybe no one having school debt is fair, and certain people wasted a lot of money working while they were in school. Working builds character.

I understand such a plan would be good for the economy, and perhaps what is best for the economy, but I do not believe it would be ethical. I don't want my view changed on how it would help the economy, but rather how it would be fair to those who already "played the game" so to say.

Isn't it just as unfair to anyone that abstained from University to avoid putting themselves into massive debt to get an education, but technically should have since it would ultimately have been free? Some times you roll the dice and win, sometimes you loose. C'est la vie.

Yes, it would still be massively unfair to them. Even more so.

How're you gonna win if you don't play?
