...time for Wall Street to bail the American people out of debt.

No, not "the American people" but rather a small fraction of people who made poor choices and now would like to avoid the consequences of their poor choices. Not buying it.

News flash people - not everyone needs to go to college, not everyone should go to college. We have a lot greater need for plumbers, electricians, truck drivers, etc. - people with real skills in a real trade - than we do for another graduate with a degree in 17th century French poetry, or a BA in "feminist studies."

I lived like a hobo while in college at U of Idaho to keep costs down. Covered my expenses with summer jobs and AFROTC scholarship. Took a real major, Civil Engineering. Graduated with no debt. I thoroughly resent people living high in college, taking ethnic studies, and then walking away from the expense, which is then handed to the taxpayer.

If you’re going to do this hare-brained scheme, at least, target those who really benefited from it. Pay for the $1.6 trillion in debt by taking it from the universities’ endowments.

How come no one ever points to the colleges? Every time loans are guaranteed, Pell grants increased, work study grants increased what do the colleges do?? Raise tuition and raise it above the govt benefits. I am a loyal graduate of Fordham yet there was no way ten years ago that I was going to pay 52K for my daughter to go there. And now it’s 67K.

And who decides whose loan gets zeroed. How is it going to be fair, to use the progs favorite word, for a person to have their 25K loan forgiven after having gone to SUNY Oswego , 9500 a year and then forgive the person with 200K loan having gone to NYU 70K.? And the kid from NYU has a helluva lot more career entree than the kid from Oswego.

At times, what a stunning looking woman.

Sadly, more often than not her interior just wreaks.

She has a vile twisted mind. She is a great example of why we MUST do a better job of vetting immigrants.

She should have been sent back already.

Stamp this one, “Return to sender...”

You nailed her with that, D1.

She’s one of the most vile ugly women on the inside I’ve seen.

When she slandered Elliot Abrams in that House hearing she was gleeful and had that smirking grin the whole time.

She is a hateful, sorry excuse of a woman.

Buying her way out of her crimes - like Quid Pro Joe - it’s the American way.

If they are so gifted, they can, wait for it—learn to code online. Without having to go into debt or be broke.

apparently she doesn’t understand ‘wall street’. It’s the middle class, the smart poor, the firemen’s funds, the police funds, the civil service funds the union funds and every other pension and retirement fund and employee benefit fund out there that invests in ‘wall street’.

And we don’t want to hear it from immigrants or anyone else that they are burdened with a ‘private college’ tuition or professional student debt. In a free society, people are responsible for their own actions and their own decisions. Immigrants are given money to come here, educational grants advantages, more loan advantages and employment advantages - more than Americans are entitled to. So pay the damned debt and go cry in your beer that exploitation of the system caught up with you and the money tree has no more leaves.

Agreed. My parents skimped and saved and I worked through my undergraduate degree. Then I did my next two degrees as night school while working full time. I came out with each degree with no debt - because I made good choices, worked for it, and took my time. It wasn’t handed to me overnight.

Illegals get free tuition. How is that oppressive?

If you're an ILLEGAL immigrant, you should not be in the United States at all.

Revoke her illegally obtained citizenship.
Send her back.

Stop ALL immigration until ALL illegal aliens are removed.

You lie, Ilhan Omar. Have a friend whose son married an illegal alien in California who went to San Diego State. She earned her Master’s Degree paid for by taxpayers of the State of California and she now works as a counselor in the California public schools. Tell me another lie. The media is not doing its job of reporting what is actually going on at all.
