Student loan forgiveness is assigned to teachers and government employees who dedicate time to the community. Loan forgiveness should be possible through faith-based and other service programs as well: soup kitchens, prison volunteers and hospice are just a few examples of important services that could be recognized as a socially beneficial contribution towards debt forgiveness by our nations poor.
The easing of restrictions on bankruptcy could help lift whole communities out of crushing debt.
It's important to create a plan that doesn't just offer forgiveness for time served by making small payments over 25 years, but offers incentive to participate in and support our local communities. Why defer starting families, buying houses, starting small businesses or retiring?
