In response to "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." by Qale

Right. But I don’t think those are remotely comparable. Maybe I’m wrong.

There are hundreds of thousands of teachers.

Take all the people that will start new businesses.
Eliminate any that aren’t in a ‘disadvantaged’ area.
Eliminate any that don’t last three years.
Eliminate everyone that didn’t get a Pell Grant at the very beginning.

My guess is the pie piece that’s left is very small.

To me it comes off as saying you have a policy, but it isn’t really a policy.

Similar to a giveaway the Reds have. If a player hits the Toyota truck in the outfield a fan wins it. Toyota gets promotion every single game in the stadium and on television. Except the truck is about 500 feet away in center field and will never be hit.

Same thing. To me. At least similar.

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
