Sounds like a great idea. OK, you kids, send in your payments now!

What do you mean, that’s not what they meant....

Worse still, thanks to Republicans and neoliberal Democrats alike, they are almost impossible to discharge in bankruptcy.


And there is the lie, it was passed by democrats

End all government involvement in education and I would support this.

Universities were allowed to harvest students for their loans and used the proceeds to subsidize worthless SJW “perfessers,” and a a bonus they could raise tuition as high as they wanted because the dumb 18-year olds would just borrow it without question.

Lets be honest in this. The government operates on cash flow. The money has been spent and we will never collect it. Stop the current cash flow and see what happens in the market place of education...................

So the jist of the article is “Have the government pay all the lenders, then make college free so that there is never student loan debt again”. Wow.

When you are saddled with $40K in school debt for Computer Programming but find out that the jobs are filled with H1-B people and you end up at Best Buy, you might have been scammed by people pushing college. When you go to college for a teaching degree in English but have to take classes totally unrelated to your degree because the College Accreditation rules and desire of the college to keep useless departments open, you much have been scammed by people pushing college.

It is time to totally revamp the requirements for a college degree. So many useless classes, so many requirements that have nothing to do with your program, so many useless departments, and so many inflated college administration fees and people.

I definitely think the kids should pay these back, effectively erasing them.

Interestingly, it just struck me that if I was a precious snowflake with a lot of student loan debt, I’d be crazy to make any more payments if I thought the government was going to forgive these debts.

The way to prevent that is to come down hard on those that are behind. Remove the incentive to “wait for a socialist regime”.

The average Student Loan balance is $30,000.

What does a new Car cost nowadays, $30,000?

I want a FREE new Car.

Yeahno.

I’ve spent ten years paying off my debts AND had to consolidate them in a private loan on top of it.

Thanks Obama economy making me unemployed for too damn long and racking up the debt.

But I’ve been paying them back; if you pass this, I want ALL of my money back. Every last penny; every percent of interest that the gummint charged. I want back everything that I was responsible enough to pay.

This is basically writing a blank check to colleges and universities to do whatever they want.

Good luck getting hired if your debt is forgiven.

And oh, by the way, forgiven debt is fully taxable in the year it’s forgiven. D’oh!

This idea is cut from the same cloth as those who propose amnesty for illegal aliens. Immigrants who follow all the procedures for becoming a citizen are punished and those who cut the line are rewarded. It is rewarding bad behavior.

Excellent idea. I erased every last penny of my student debt as well as my son’s through a weird trick nobody seems willing to try: PAY IT BACK!

That student debt can’t be discharged in bankruptcy appears to be a lie and political football.

I paid for my college education. We paid for our kids’ college education. Why should we pay for everyone else’s?
