Cheers and Jeers

CHEERS: To the Biden administration for its student loan forgiveness for borrowers who meet certain criteria, like public service professions or those who have been in repayment for 20 years or longer, for example. Education has historically been the vehicle of upward mobility for motivated students who lack the means to attend a university, perhaps leveling the playing field for those not born to privilege. Lowering the cost of attaining of a higher education should be a goal of our legislative bodies. -- B.R., Ashdown, Arkansas

JEERS: To the USPS. The first of the month I paid two credit card statements and the water bill. They finally arrived almost three weeks later and were so late I had late charges. Does it really take three weeks to send a letter to address in the city. The Postal Service is increasing the price of stamps while the service keeps getting worse. -- C.L.K., Texarkana, Texas
