Just last month I finished paying off my student loans from 2001.  The debt amount wasn’t that much in the scheme of things, but I put off paying it for several reasons.  One, the interest rate was low, and I had higher interest rate debts to tackle. Two, I am notoriously bad with my own financials.  Three, the closer I came to paying it off, the more politicians began talking about student debt forgiveness.  I wondered if I should wait to see how that played out.  In the end, I concluded my debt was no one else’s responsibility and it was mine to pay back.  As the Biden Administration pushes forward with student loan forgiveness for some, the GOP should take the lead on the crusade ahead of the 2022 midterms.  There are compromises to be made that make it a winning issue for conservatives.
