your use of a simile.
Your child receives lessons tutoring her in a skill something you pay for. That’s something you do for your daughter and for yourself. The person you hired for this endeavor has a value to you and your family. The tutor’s degree and skill level you believe will pay dividends down the road and the least of it is your child’s adoration for life.
The fact the US government is entertaining monetary compensation in the form of debt relief on exorbitant predatory loans that were and are available to most students coming out of high-school is not anywhere similar to subsides you would pay for.
I agree that this type of compensation is wrong headed - the action should be the government going after predator lending places in all cases of education and student loans. (But then, most Republicans would bellyache about the destruction of capitalism).
What I get from your post is you dislike the fact the tutor didn’t receive a degree you personally place a high value on. A degree that creates great wealth. But then, if the instructor had no degree who would you hire to instruct your little darling?
