So, we Taxpayers have to pay for other people's kids college, their take-out pizzas, their spring vacations, their movie tickets, their concert tickets, their beer & booze, their drugs and so forth. What a crock! Hey student bums...if you take out a loan...PAY IT BACK. What's so hard to understand about that? LIBs/DIMs are true lunatics. We paid back our college loans...on time. Where are our reparations, you worthless LIB freaks?

The idea of bums and deadbeats getting a free ride like that irks me bigly.

Any person who paid their loans off should be angry too.

Well the government has no motivation to balance their budget. They just print money when they need it.

Balance budget amendment? Forget it. You can’t even get the GOP on board with that. BOTH parties just keep increasing the national debt.

And it’s not going to get any better in the future because we have growing population that seems to be on the cusp of demanding socialism. It’s going to get worse. But that’s what the voters want....

I have a student loan that i still pay on. I borrowed a whopping $1,700. The school took 350 of it. I’ve paid thousands and thousands on that loan. Every time I get the balance within a year of being paid off, they sell the debt and I end up owing thousands more. I can’t get it paid off.

I’ve more than paid off the principle plus more interest than the loan was for so student loan debt forgiveness...they should be asking MY forgiveness for their horrible games.

Would they buy my vote? Nope. They should have come to me years ago saying “you’ve paid more than you should have. We won’t charge you any more.”

The only reason there are “billions” of unpaid student debt is because of the unreasonable interest practices, collection practices, and book keeping practices.

It’s all smoke and mirrors.

* Punish student’s who *did* pay down their own student loans
* Punish the taxpayers
* Reward spendthrift students who can’t manage debt

F’ you Warren.

I’m an old buzzard who helped a daughter through school. Will she reimburse me?

I paid off my student loan years ago.

Do I get a refund? I suppose if I would have just refused to pay it, with this bill, I could I could have had it written off.

Gubmint always panders to the slackers.

I am glad I paid them off.

But with stagnant wages and increasing college debt, something was going to snap. $500K for an engineering degree that pays starting $60K is like having a house payment while living in a one bedroom B&B


With all due respect, I have put 2 kids thru Engineering school for their undergraduate degrees. They went on for advanced degrees. Neither had advanced degree (PhD) debt of $500,000...

Where in the world and what in the world did you study that cost you $500,000 for an Engineering degree???

I’d really be interested in a reply...

Why reward the same corrupt institutions that are exploiting students as we speak? We need accreditation reform NOW.

These are two of the most stupid, vile and disgusting people in American politics.


This is nothing more than buying votes. I think political candidates should be barred from introducing legislation during their campaigns.

Seriously, if Trump offered to give $50,000 per person for some such thing, would that have even been legal?

Do those of us who paid off our kids’ education debt get reparations?


Education debt reparations! I like the sound of that...

Especially since I PAID FOR THREE COLLEGE EDUCATIONS...(not counting my own...)

And anyone who paid off their loans, how dumb do you feel now?

For anyone who paid off their student loans, they should get a refund, pure and simple.

Everyone who made a bad investment also should get a kickback from the government.. Who made the bad investment should not determine the eligbility.

What engineering degree costs 500,000.00 dollars?

What engineering degree from a worthwhile college/university pays so little? (60K for an engineer is very, very low!)

The same as the grads of that college where the commencement speaker paid off student debts. No debt? No pay.

Never mind the political motive of the bill. It is simply unfair. How in hell is this bill fair and just.
It is a shitty proposal by shitty people to gain votes, yes, but it is unmanageable and a dirty trick on the taxpayers.
SHEESH!
