“Every story an excuse to promote student loan forgiveness.”
Agreed.
Some Freepers might not agree with this idea - but I’d like to give some of these kids the opportunity to work part of their loans off.
Straight public service - working at food shelves or soup kitchens, picking up trash in parks and repairing playground equipment, mowing lawns and doing yardwork for senior citizens and the handicapped, etc.
There’s no way in hell I’d ever agree to straight loan forgiveness though.
Bingo, it has to be emphasized:
...........
Burdened with debt that THEY CHOSE.
............
Kids jump all over credit cards that give them an illusion of wealth in order to achieve the status they crave in order to be more competitive socially.
...........
Most have no idea what interest they are paying much less any clue how to pay it off.
>> but I’d like to give some of these kids the opportunity to work part of their loans off.
Great idea. They could do something like getting a good job, not necessarily a fun one or their first choice but one that pays the bills, and they could use some of the proceeds from that work to mail a check to the bank each month. Maybe they could even learn a trade so that they would be an “essential” employee when the Progs and Chinese collude to do this again.
Adults don’t need programs to “work off” their own debt.
