Except she is absolutely right about this. I suspect our “Great Reset” will inflate the value out of much debt soon enough—and college loans will by that point be the least of our problems anyway.

Exactly.

If the government is going to underwrite, guarantee and/or subsidize students loans, then the colleges and universities know they can keep raising their tuitions and costs to whatever the traffic will bear. After all, the government is good for it.

Since the colleges and universities aren't negatively affected if the loans aren't repaid, they have no skin in the game so they keep raising the fees to attend their institutions.

As a result, attending college has become almost prohibitively expensive to attend without the government backed student loans or rich parents or benefactors. Vicious cycle.

When I attended Arizona State University as an in-state student in the late 60s, early 70s, I worked three part time jobs while carrying a full load of classes year round and paid all of my tuition myself. My parents did help with my books. That wouldn't be possible nowadays.

what happened to the bills where colleges would have to pay the student loan debt of students who could not get employment in their major?

Also ‘cheap’ college loans were a bribe to the young to vote Dem.
Every election there’s a new crop of young voters to be fleeced by the Dems.

Obama was praised by the media for providing the loans, during his continuous recession, to provide opportunity for the young while there were no jobs. And it wasn’t a liberal policy no sir- these loans would be paid back...

This will get buried, but let’s say they forgive some of the loans. What are they going to do to make sure it doesn’t happen again?

I would hate to be a CFO for a university next year. All of a sudden their gravy train is gonna stop.

Don't know anything about that. Never heard of it.

But I do know that if such laws existed, it should definitely apply to AO-C and her economics degree from Boston University.

She apparently fell asleep or skipped class when she was supposed to be learning economics because she doesn't know shit about it.

Sorry. If she resigned because of “Trump’s role” in the events of 6 January, nothing she has to say interests me.

Nice going to stab Trump supporters and PDJT in the back after they defended you for so long, Betsy.

Bitch.

i find it hard to believe conservative republicans can truly be fooled by listening to what Trump says, and then placing a role in the violence onto him. Further i find it hard to believe they wouldn’t be able to make a comparison between what anfita/blm has been doing for years and this one event.

Further i find it difficult that any true comservative couldn’t see that antifa/blm were the ones causing and inciting the violence,especially given they tweeted they did it, and were encouraging people to go dressed as trump,supporters.

If Trump supporters/patriots did this kind of thing all on their own, antifa and blm would not need to infiltrate to make it appear trump people/patriots were violentand cause the violence themselves.

I couldn’t afford college, so I didn’t go.

I’m sure glad I get to pay for that education now. Oh, not
for me, it’s for others who couldn’t afford it.
