So desanctimonious wants students that can't (won't) pay back their student loans to discharge them through bankruptcy now...

Leaving the fed government, i.e. the tax payer, to foot the unpaid debt...

Where have I heard that before?

These the re-booted campaign think they can repeat the boost biden got when he announced he wants to forgive student loans?

I agree with Desantis. Bankruptcy discharge should only be allowed 10 or 12 years after leaving school.

Trump suspended student loan payments in March of 2020, as well as interest accumulations.

Awww, the pandering has begun.

Forget it Ron, unless Trump ends up in a box you have no chance.

The solution’s so simple, make the universities pay ALL of the student loans off that were soaked up by them in the first place, the pony tailed bastards should pay it ALL back.

I agree with him, why should studen loans be immune from bankruptcy when every other sort of loan isn’t? It distorts the markets and schools feel free to raise, raise, raise tuitions knowing that their debt slaves will pay it regardless of anything.

NO!

They pay it back like they agreed to.

This guy is a disaster.

He did some good things for FL as part of the attempt to slip him in as a Trump MAGA alternative.

(Not that Trump doesn’t have some issues as well.)

Two good ideas, include student loans just like any other loan in bankruptcy and hold schools accountable. How to do the latter would be the challenge but it is a discussion to be had. I do think that student loans up to a certain dollar value should be interest free as there is a national value in getting qualified and interested citizens into college. But otherwise, they should pay their debt.

FYI, I had a total of $3,750 in student loans for my undergraduate degree, got some college classes via military service, and graduate assistant role to help pay some tuition. Overall, I paid 99% of my tuition, books, etc. up front and out of my own pocket. That said, I wish I had been able to get loans and I have great sympathy for students who need them to get to school. The only thing that saved me was good paying jobs that leveraged my military service. And there was no meaningful GI Bill when I served post-Vietnam era.

"It's wrong to say that a truck driver should have to pay off the debt of somebody who got a degree in gender studies. ... At the same time ...

Like many politicians, he makes promises to both sides. But you can't deliver to both sides. So he'll serve one side, and stab the other in the back.

That will cost less than trumps plan to save SS by paying people that have babies. He didn’t say taxpayers or citizens. Instead of just returning it to its original intent he wants to fix big government by taking ng more of your dollars in more wealth redistribution.

SL program overhaul is seriously needed. Making some debt dischargeable will shrink the pool of loans and might also help restrain tuition increases or force reductions.

This infighting over Trump and Desantis is just self destructive.

While we bicker the leftist democrats hate our guts down to the sigmoid.
Trump faithful seem to feel we who look at Desnatis as another potential candidate are the real enemies.

Get serious.

Have you actually read what the common leftists write about Trump and YOU?
We are in a family of sorts, let’s not tear each other to bits.

Go ahead read some comments, the hate honestly doesn’t seem any less vitriolic than 3 years ago:

That is laughable. All borrowers will simply declare bankruptcy.

And then, when students catch on, there will be more students making more loans knowing they won’t have to repay them.

Also, the students who have worked hard at repaying their loans will feel like suckers.

I see advertisments almost every day from lawyers promoting bankruptcy.

If you lease a vehicle, stop making payments, and declare bankruptcy, do they let you keep the car?

Perhaps repossessing a degree could put some skin in the game.

Ron, Ron! Hey I have a big car loan, what about that? Bankruptcy ok? Hey Ron I have a big mortgage, what about that? Bankruptcy ok? Hey Ron I have a big tax bill, what about that? Bankruptcy ok?

Personally I’m tired of politicians offering to use my tax money to pay losers for their vote!

Before someone comments what does bankruptcy have to do with tax money, remember a politician will use a problem to their advantage. If educational debt is resolved by bankruptcy, schools will suffer financially. So guess who now needs to be bailed out....... and who will do it with your money!

Democrats want to forgive student debt because it is money laundering to leftists.

I have sympathy for a lot of the students too. Not the ones who got their degrees in homosexuality in homo-sapiens studies.

However, many did what they were supposed to do. They got the technical training only to have the jobs shipped out of the country by the free traitors.

I'm not for bailouts, but it would serve us right if we did have to bail them out.

He added that he thought "student loans should be dischargeable in bankruptcy."

As long as there is some debt left over that is still the responsibility of the borrower, I don't have a problem with that. Virtually every other kind of debt can be discharged in bankruptcy.
