More likely used to live in a nice apartment with gym, pool; drive a nice car; eat out at a nice steak house routinely; and cram a four-year degree into six years.
I could be wrong.
Call the whaaaaambulance.
Very few people make enough post grad to handle that kind of debt.
If she was worth that to an employer they would have kicked in.
Someone who has matriculated up in her profession to Principle should have it all paid off. How long out of collage is she? Geez.
This cow is probably pulling down close to $200K/yr.
Tell us how much of that loan money was actually spent on tuition and books and not on partying?
Tell us why you didn’t get a job during your college careers to offset your cost?
Tell us how the student loan program knows if you are a white male vs. a black female so that they can increase your student loan debt by 13% over the same period of time that a white male gets his debt reduced by 44%?
Tell us your normal spending habits are with respect to cigarettes, specialty coffee, tattoos, fast food restaurants, or other disposable income expenses?
Moron. The President has no power to cancel debts.
She needs to suck it up and start making payments like the rest of us.
yes her photo is online and no you don’t have to look

Uh huh.
Hey, guys, who was saying back when the government started backing student loans that it was a scam and that college prices would rise as a result?
Well, guess what? That did happen.
I used to read about people paying their way through college at low-paying jobs back during *the Depression*—that’s the 1930s Depression.
In California in the 1960s and 70s, this was still a possibility—i don’t know about other states. In CA now, the average of all the UC colleges tuition is over $13,000/year.
IOW, tuition *alone* is just under the gross earnings of someone earning minimum wage.
Admin costs have ballooned in relation to educational costs, too many university instructors are part-time temp workers, the non-educational facilities for students (such as exercise gyms) are luxurious, it goes on and on.
So in a way our society *has* screwed over these students, especially the ones who are not very sophisticated, a kind of cultural capital that poor kids lack—you may never have learned about compound interest as a real thing in life if your parents never had a credit card or bank loan.
And our society also screwed them over by outsourcing every good-paying job that could be sent overseas, telling them the only way to really make it was to go to college, etc, also stuff I have heard people complain about here.
So while I emphatically do not think that Biden’s action is correct, I do see why people have a problem with the whole set-up.
Despite brutal and catastrophic medical debt, my husband and I are still footing the bill for the first 2 years of college for each of our 3 children. We pay for their Associate’s degree, they pay for their Bachelor’s degree.
No! No! No!
My son is finishing his Bachelor’s degree. He’s carrying about $20K in loans. He lived at home.
We paid for his Associate’s degree, so the $20K is just for the two years he was paying.
SMU law school is $53K each year for 3 years (still living at home). He will graduate with $180K in debt if he goes.
I will say paying over $200,000+ for college is ridicules. Somebody is raking in the cash..Then multiply this hundreds of thousands of times? The money pours in.
They scream for airline pilots, doctors, teachers, accountants etc, then the colleges line up to loot those attempting to gain skills. With these unreasonable prices, it sounds like a racket .
Bannon said it this morning colleges are NOT colleges they are hedge funds with classrooms attached to them!! They have BILLIONS in endowments these are indoctrination centers these kids come out more STUPID than when they went in, not a lick of common sense, unable to make a reasoned decision on their own, AND my goodness they can’t even answer a question about the history of the country, Jesse Waters goes out to ask questions to college students and it is absolutely pathetic how STUPID they are!! SO NOW we are to pay for this utter stupidity with OUR hard earned tax dollars SPIT!!!
SMU is a private university.
Would it be cheaper to go to a state school, or to a private school that is less expensive?
Not trying to tell you what to do; just a suggestion by way of a question.
Because the colleges continue to increase tuition in line with the federal loan guidelines increasing. From what little I know.
Dumbass. Stick your idea of “justice” up your ass. That fact that you can’t run your own business doesn’t mean the rest of us have to pay for your screw ups. You obviously didn’t get much for your student loan debts. The use of words like justice, marginalized, empowered, and oppression give the game away. You are not educated. You are indoctrinated. You are a parasite, and no doubt always will be.

Unsaid in this editorial is that in two years, 200k of that debt vanishes when they qualify for public service loan forgiveness... But hey, gotta get that editorial out before you’ve got no debt to waive around.
