This is an archived comment posted by Aaron Lee-Wudrick. You can view the original
here. "in terms of economic stimulus, every extra dollar you put into the hands of a student races out into the local economy and back into the tax system. Even the proverbial beer drinking student, for example, is a perfect spender."
But economic stimulus isn't the point, Alex. By that argument, we could engage in all sorts of redistributive spending - not just for students, but for everybody - all the while arguing that it doesn't matter in economic terms, because the money all gets spent.
I agree with some of your proposed reforms to loan systems, but most of your solutions come down to jacking up taxes. That doesn't sound to me like merely "helping students do what they want" - it sounds a lot more like forcing people other than students to do something they don't!
