You’re looking backwards when you should look at it as a forward thinking policy. This is very similar to other programs that “forgive” student loans.

Some are like become a teacher for x years and they pay off your loan.
Or be a general practitioner for x years in y place.

My friend the Rose is doing that, work for a non prof and while her take home is under 40, no loan payments nor mal practice insurance -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 28, 11:23
Right. But I don’t think those are remotely comparable. Maybe I’m wrong. - Volnelk Jul 28, 10:54 7
- I think it's a good idea that even if it doesn't equal up to other programs can be helpful to get people to start businesses in areas - Krusty Jul 28, 11:12 4
  - It’s essentially a tax abatement to encourage people to move somewhere. Same principle. - Volnelk Jul 28, 11:14 3
    - Why is that a problem if we get something good for the people of that area? -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 11:20 2
      - I'm not saying it's a problem. Sure it will help some people. But she is running for President. - volnelk Jul 28, 13:08 1
        
        I'm with on it being too minimal to be something to run on. It needs to be part of a package not on its own. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 13:39
- I get what you’re saying. It’s touting something that’s not all that amazing, sure. But if it’s part of a larger plan that’d be much better. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 11:09 1
  - Agreed. But then I think it’s foolish to not roll it out with your whole plan. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 13:30
