I’m certainly not making student-loan payments.
More Than 40% of Americans who borrowed from the U.S. government's primary student-loan program Not Making Student Loan Payments
Bernie’s going to make it free so why pay?
Why would they! That ba$$turd has hinted for 7 years that he would “forgive” their loans. He’s also told them under current law that if they escape payment for, what? 7 years? then the loans cannot be collected.
This can only be shocking if you aren’t paying any attention to society at all.
You give a large population of Bernie voters thousands in cash and tuition and you really think these people are going to pay the money back? This number will grow to near 100% soon...and then the government will throw their hands up and forgive it all. After all, it’s just a bit more quantitative easing.
Dip into Obama’s stash and clear up that debt
Chump change compared to the $19 Trillion Dollars we have enslaved them in to pay for our wants today.
40% don’t pay, loans can never be discharged in bankruptcy and another % is deferring payment...
What page of the Constitution talks about student loans?
My youngest daughter has student loan payments. I told her if I found out she wasn’t paying the bill, I’d fly out to where she’s currently living and kick her a*s.
I told her we aren’t freeloaders. She got an education and a degree thanks to that money. No, she didn’t major in womens studies or sub-saharan nubian pre-historic gay architecture.
She majoring in marketing and is doing quite well.
So far, so good.
Because the more time passed after graduating, the more the truth about the ZERO VALUE of their degree was brought home to them.
And now that he forgave a bunch of student debt last week, a lot of those previously making payments will STOP.
The Universities dwell on the notion that companies will USE and then DISCARD their employees, yet those same Universities do EXACTLY THAT to their own credulous students.
Why should they? According to Bernie and Hillary, once those greedy “rich” bastards start paying their “fair share”, college will be free.
Borrowing heavily to go to colleges they can't afford, buying cars and living in expensive apartments they can't afford, and majoring in dumb subjects that make them unemployable.
Once they were prevented from learning basic math, it was easy to convince them to take out the loans for federal guaranteed loan-inflated tuitions.
Just wondering...any correlation with certain unnamed low IQ “academic” majors?
"Not only is more than $200 billion in student debt owed to the federal government [emphasis added], ..."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots, please note that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes. This is evidenced by the following excerpt from the writing of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson had indicated that the states would need to amend the Constitution to expressly give the feds the specific power to appropriate taxes for intrastate schooling purposes.
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.
But it remains that since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly give the feds the power to provide loans for vote-winning students, the House should never had made a bill to appropriate taxes for such a purpose, and the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate should not have passed such a bill if the House had done so.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified in broad terms that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, providing students loans not among those powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The states should be appropriating taxes for student loans with their 10th Amendment-protected powers. But since the corrupt feds keep on stealing state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, the states understandably cannot afford to provide such loans.
Remember in November !
The Feds are WAY out of control in p0wning the whole Student Loan Bidnuss.
Freeloading “snowflakes” not paying their bills. Not a surprise.
Boy is my daughter going to feel stupid.
Worked her butt off during school and has been paying on her student loans for the past three years. Has the total under $10,000 and is doubling up on payments.
Guess I didn’t teach her right. /s
Work graveyard and pay on your loans wimps.
No dad (died while I was young), no loans, no funding, I paid my own way working full time and going to school.
