student-loan debt for potentially millions of upper-class people earning up to $125,000 a year doesn\u2019t sit well with many Americans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It will drive up inflation and create an unfair subsidy from the working class to the most educated people, many on track to earn the most money over their lifetimes.<\/p>\n<p>The untold story Biden ignores is that the US government helped fuel this student-loan debt balloon to begin with.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>College tuition vastly outpaced inflation in the past two decades alone, and universities kept raising tuition because they knew government-backed student loans would keep pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By continuing to back loans without any accountability over schools\u2019 pricing or the usefulness of degrees, the federal government allowed universities to recklessly shell out more loans to hapless students.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A 2017 study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York confirmed that one dollar of government student-loan expansion correlated with a tuition raise of some 60 cents per dollar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That means Student Union centers become elaborate lounges, fancy rock-climbing walls abound and school administrative bureaucracies sprawl.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet despite all these amenities, employers say their new college graduate hires are ill-prepared for the workforce.<\/p>\n<figure

Biden\u2019s plan is bald-faced political pandering. As this unpopular Democratic president is six months out from a competitive midterm election, Biden may believe that canceling college debt is good politics. But it\u2019s horrible policy, and it could very well backfire at the ballot box.<\/p>\n<p><em>Carrie Sheffield is a senior policy analyst at Independent Women\u2019s Voice.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
