Les copains qui reçoivent des faveurs politiques ne sont pas seulement les "gros bonnets" des entreprises, mais aussi les universités et les étudiants. Le président Biden a récemment décrété une annulation unilatérale de la dette étudiante (jusqu'à 20 000 dollars par emprunteur) qui coûterait environ 500 à 750 milliards de dollars. Outre la question de savoir si M. Biden, le Congrès ou une agence quelconque est habilité à annuler la dette, cette politique est-elle juste ou injuste ? Pratique ou impraticable ? Qu'en est-il de ceux qui ne sont pas allés à l'université, qui n'ont pas emprunté pour cela ou qui ont remboursé leur dette ? Pourquoi la dette étudiante est-elle si élevée ? Pourquoi Washington est-il impliqué ? Qu'est-ce que la politique de M. Biden implique au sujet de la dette nationale ? Après tout, si Washington peut unilatéralement renoncer à l'argent qui lui est dû, pourquoi ne peut-il pas faire de même pour l'argent qu'il doit aux autres ?
