How about the critical expenses they had been putting off — such as medical needs, saving for a home, retirement of the electricians, plumbers carpenters and other working class people, who will have to subsidize the college educations of people who chose to borrow for uneconimical majors?

If we pay it then we’ll get sob stories about how these people can’t retire because they government hasn’t paid off their mortgage and credit card debts too. It’s about getting “free stuff” by making us pay for it.

These people haven’t purchased a home yet? I am a poor man, but in my day I was pulling in 80K with my spouse. We bought and sold four houses. One of them we sold for 247K after purchasing for 149K 18 months earlier. Through hard work on weekends and the market moving. We ended up with money to buy a new car, pay of ALL debts, and put some away.

GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND WORK HARD, work weekends with lights on in the rooms until the house you can buy cheap shines. I did it 4 times. I am just a house painter, wife was a parts counter person at a car dealership.

Once again WORK. Complain after you got it pretty much going on, and you find out you have terminal ______. Or keep on keeping on.

Suppose one of these debtor students owned a car and joe biden gave that car to an illegal immigrant in exchange for a fraudulent election vote. Does the debtor student agree the illegal was entitled to the car?

same here- What having student loans in 1980-82 meant: 9-10% interest rates, tighter bankruptcy laws which did not take default on student loans lightly, and a pay structure which used a minimum wage of 2.65$/hr. as baseline for wages.

At that time enlisting in USAF did not help much because loans were accrued previous to enlistment..

So to all of those trying weasel out of their obligations BOO FRICKING HOO
