While all of your points are valid, the bottom line is that any Obama program to forgive student loan debt has the potential to buy him a whole heck of a lot of votes from young skulls full of mush. It’s why taking direct Federal control of this program was a top priority for the Dems early on.

I didn't mean to imply that the debts should be forgiven.

Quite the contrary.

What I meant to imply was that student loans should be illegal.

That would do more to bring higher-education costs down than anything.

College costs have gone up 900% since I was in college in 1978.

The ONLY reason they exploded like that was because 18-year olds who didn't know any better were enticed into burying themselves in debt for their educations.

I paid as I went. Never had dime of education debt, and I have three degrees. Worked the entire time.
