How can there even be a college debt system? I thought Bill Clinton solved that problem.

Besides, there's no such thing as cancelling a college debt. All you are doing is transferring the bill to other people.

All this would do is convince people that the more slowly they pay off debt, the more likely it is that the government will decide to bail them out again. And people like me, who struggled to pay off my entire $75K, were foolish and should have dragged their feet in order to game the system too.

Moreover, it feeds into consumerism. If you have more ready cash, you can SHOP more!

Boo frickin’ hoo. If you’re a legal immigrant, you’re not special and need to pay for college the way everyone else does. If you’re an illegal immigrant, go to school in your own country.

"Young Gifted and Broke"

LOL! Back in the 80's they used to parrot the phrase "Young , Gifted and Black."

When asked what "gifted" meant, you would get a blank stare...the cleaver ones would tell you they got a FREE college education as a gift from Whitey.

Stay out of debt.
Solved.

My parents saved for half my BSCE. I earned the other half as I went.
My employers paid for most of my MSCE.
My wife’s parents paid for her BS.
I paid cash for her second undergrad.
Her MBA was covered by her school (for prior 4.0, foreign, female).

And this marvelous magic glass slate will teach you anything free, or tell you where you can.

It’s not about free college for the Left.
The issue is never the issue.
The issue is always The Revolution.

What a sad, pathetic story.

I was the first (and only) member of my family to go to college.

Nobody paid my bills but me, with lots of help from my parents.

It builds character which is why I suspect she doesn’t have any.

This person exists in some surreal dystopian universe, where fantasies are reality, and nothing costs anything. Look to the Democrats and Obama to place blame for the current student loan debacle, if she is willing to call it that. She is without a doubt the most ungrateful, mendacious, pathetic example of what should be a successful immigrant that anyone could point to. And the people of her district of entitlement need to wake up and send her packing, as she is doing great damage to the state of Minnesota.

.... Rule number one: ..... Never take out a loan if you can not pay it back .....

.... That purely logical rule is the same for every one on the planet ..... no matter what your immigration status is.

SCHOOL DEBT BUGS HER? just another reason to be a Muzzie victim (yawn).

SCHOOL Rag-headed Omar made several calculated moves upon
landing on our precious American soil....coming here at taxpayers' expense.
:
<><> She became a citizen AND an eternal victim.
<><> She joined the Democrat party,
<><> She learned to speak the language of oppression.

She thoroughly understands our system (which she holds in complete contempt).

She was coached, colluding with the Muslim umlauts to whom she is in obeisance
(all of them lying in wait to make us submit to Sharia law).

She knows our system well----and is adept at the identity politics game.

She is using it......not for the intended purposes.....but for her sub rosa Muslim nefarious purposes.


According to her Washington Post profile, Omar wasted no time....
she “felt betrayal” immediately upon setting foot in America.

Things have gotten so out of control, the term “gifted” has a whole new meaning

Totally agree that these people have had their educations gifted to them.

They sure have not earned them

Maybe appeal to your colleges and universities.

Who forced all of you to fill out your loans? And keep filling them out again and again?

It’s sad when the college debt system has been so manipulated that it’s considered an entitlement.
