Too late, Betsy.

College loans were never intended to benefit the students, in any case. They were aimed at subsidizing colleges and universities that should have gone out of business years ago.

Progressives never address the large percentage of college students who drop out - still huge debts, with nothing to show for it (not even a useless degree, which at least that shows the student can complete a multi-year project to the satisfaction of many).
Of course those debts will be paid too; Leftists just refuse to discuss it.

Why should we all honor contracts which were not filled out in good faith and which were subsequently broken? For that is what a college loan is, a contract. By forgiving college loans, we are teaching people to discard and walk away from responsibilities-—and from what I’ve seen, the younger generation does not need any further “instruction” in doing just that. Furthermore, any business considering financing a company looking for a loan would naturally request a business plan to look over. We, who subsidize college loans, do not get any such opportunity. So if the loan recipient chooses to major in a largely unemployable field, such as gender studies, social justice studies, etc., and subsequently cannot obtain meaningful employment in said field, is that our fault? By subsidizing student loans, we’re buying a pig in a poke in the first place, and to then have the responsible party being able to simply walk away from their obligation, leaving the tab for us to pay, is simply ludicrous. Just another way for the Dimmicommies to bring us down in bankruptcy, and they’re doing their best to do just that.

Betsy had a hard, more or less thankless job.
The teacher-unions made it fashionable to express hatred and contempt for anything DeVos had to say or imply.
Betsy is a Birthday Girl, her DOB: January 8, 1958.
63 y/o.

This is going to be one of those 'talking points' that gets huffed like whippets by the MSM but will never come to fruition, simply because it doesn't poll well.

50% Say Mass Student Loan Forgiveness Unfair to Former Borrowers: Survey

They'll bury this soon, as wait-and-see how the mid-terms play out.

You all need to understand that Xiden is committed to this amnesty play first front and center, and it's remarkable how dumb and tone-deaf the Donks are to spend Xiden's 'honeymoon' political capital on trying to trap GOP Senators.

There's a paucity of political thinking here that smart conservatives will exploit in 2022.

I knew this thread would immediately be filled with people (some of whom I suspect are Dem divisiveness-trolls) hating on Betsy DeVos and completely ignoring what she said. Which was fully in line with Trump’s policies, btw, and Trump has been a great supporter of hers in her fight for charter schools.

For Pete’s sake, the reason we lose all the time is that we are too busy attacking each other to even notice what the Dems are doing.

DeVos resigned her position on Jan. 7, citing Trump’s role in the incursion.

That evil, diabolical President Trump who specifically told the Capitol Hill protesters to protest "peacefully."

"Peacefully?" How dare he! IMPEACH! 25th AMENDMENT! JAIL!

That Marxist Democrat Betsy DeVos! ... oh wait, my bad, I just checked ... DeVos describes herself as a conservative Republican ... coulda fooled me, cause she sounds like a Marxist Democrat.

The entire Democrat Party Cabal (that includes Democrat/RINO politicians, fake-news MSM, Big Tech/social media censorship companies, most major corporations, all pro sports leagues, academia, Deep State, Hollyweird, etc., etc.) has lost its collective Marxist Democrat mind. Marxist Democrats supposedly "won" -- or so they say -- the Presidency, Senate, and House. So you'd assume the Marxist Democrats would be giddy, ecstatic. Instead, they're now maniacally enraged and vindictive ... Poor "Winners." Can't you smile even once, Chuckie & Nancy? They now look like they're ready to rip someone's head off. Insane Psycho-Democrats. Have totally lost their political minds. And Sleepy Joe & Laughing Kamala are just puppet figureheads for the Democrat Party Cabal.

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.

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 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.
