I am all for it as long as it comes out of the endowments of the universities that harvested them for their student loans.
Student loans have made it possible for colleges to inflate their tuitions out of all reason. If people had to pay cash, or take out regular bank loans, colleges would have to moderate their prices. Instead, you give a kid a blank check, and then he is saddled with debt he can’t pay for decades.
Make the universities eat it.
Go three blocks down and ask whoever lives there to pay your mortgage.
On the other hand, it is possible to make a deal. Someone I know who simply couldn’t pay, wound up with something like a $5 dollar a month payment automatically deducted. After a few years of it, he wound up with a far better credit score than mine, though he has no money.
You can get your college paid by joining the military. If we pay off everyone’s loans, who didn’t join the military, that cheats the people who did it the right way.

I’ll be darned. The Dude still abides.
Also, I believe that guy is the next Secretary of the Treasury for Biden—you know, Joe, the guy who stole the presidential election? After we pay for the student loan scofflaws we will be lucky to win the battle to get to the daily returnable cans and bottles first after a good night’s sleep in our car/home near the best pickup gutters.
Common sense article that doesnt matter to the idiots out thier, they just want it gone doesnt matter who pays
And finally, I always like to say, the best education in the world is four years in the Navy, and a set of Harvard Classics ($300 from ebay).
As it turns out, you can get the entire set of Harvard Classics for $1.99 through Kindle. 73 volumes in all.
The military has the best tech schools in the world, combined with real world experience. And you get paid.
Get ready for lots of bad ideas from the left.
The worst idea that I am seeing so far though are those among us here on FR who suddenly think it is a good idea to get angry about the Georgia senators and not support them.
That will teach them!
P.S. - both Georgia senators have called on the Sec of State to resign and both of them are NOT happy with the election mess in Georgia despite what the left-wing media (dailyfail for example) or the click-bait media (Gateway Pundit for example) tells you.
Or, have the Universities forgive (refund) the debt and pay the Govt for their uselessness.
Anyone who robs Peter to pay Paul can count on Paul’s support ... as long as the checks keep coming in!
MOST Taxpayers (and MOST VOTERS) are Trump supporters. Making them pay off student loans is purely a punishment for them. That’s all the reason the rats need.
More op-ed pieces that will accomplish nothing. Back to normal for the deskbound “conservatives”.
I can their keyboards clicking away as they are herded into the boxcars.
(a) repaid their college loan,
(b) worked through college, and
(c) served honorably in the US Military, and used the GI Bill for financial assistance in college.
Yup, that's me for all three of the above (although my total indebtedness after grad school was only about $200.)
On the other hand, I’m all for confiscating assets from universities to pay off the loans. Start with the Ivy League endowments.
So I let my kids borrow money from me to pay their tuition. (The schools did not offer in house financing).
So this means the Fed is going to pay me directly for the monies I loaned to them to pay their tuition?
Is there a form of something I need to fill out for reimbursement?
Does this mean the fix is already in on the Georgia Senate races?
There are roughly 7 billion people on the planet. After we pay for all of their healthcare there won’t be a single dime left. We can’t pay for your student loan Karen.
