How about a bill to CANCEL ALL DEBT? /s
Yes, no doubt.
But those parents should have considered less expensive alternatives.
My kid wanted to study “film” at an “Art School” where the loan sharks sold him $50k in debt, while he floundered around, switching majors.
He hated taking freshman requirements— English & Math— so kept dropping & retaking, wasting time & accruing more debt.
If a cosigner had been required, he couldn’t have gotten any loans at all, because hubby & I would have Just Said No & packed him off to Media Studies at community college, $50 per unit, payable out of pocket.
When the Republic was founded there were places where useless people could go where everyone would know that they were useless.
One was Law Firms and the other was Congress.
I want reparations for my $80,000 1984 dollars in loans I paid back without being able to deduct the interest 10%, Thanks Jimmy Carter!
$500,000 should cover it, eh?
I wonder how many will be willing to vote for paying off someone else's college bills. We'll soon find out.
You could do a Will Rogers impersonation.
