12. I think the whole idea of loan forgiveness is stupid.

Make the loans zero interest or allow lenient repayment terms according to income, or cap the number of years/amount of repayment for people who meet income standards or have other qualifying difficult life circumstances going on, that sort of thing. But a giant cash lottery doesn't make college more affordable, it's just a random reward and money out of the sky to people who knowingly and willingly INVESTED in a college education (they're already life's winners, by the way). It's like someone forgiving my mortgage, because "houses are expensive!!" Does nothing except make me wealthier at the expense of others.
