How about let’s hear from some taxpayers, about what runaway spending by FedGov means to them...

They want YOU to pay for THEIR gambling debts. That’s what this is. ALL of them are leaches and parasites.

Honestly I’d be for the interest to be reduced to 1 percent. That’d help greatly. Once these loans are paid, they will spend it in the economy which is a win for all of us.

I could use $50k from the government too. To buy gold or silver in preparation for the fiat dollar collapse.

Maybe law school isn’t such a good deal if you can’t pay your debt. Not saying student loans aren’t part of the problem, but Cost of School (including tuition) is too high. At some point, students have to be adults and stop buying what they can’t afford.

I want to drive a new Ford Expedition, but the cost of the vehicle, new, and the payments for 60 months is too high. So I Don’t Buy ....

We need to teach “educators” to say, “Do you want fries with that?”

This is just a direct handout of cash from working people to Democrats hiding in Ivory Towers. Tuition skyrocketed in the presence of this FedGov “loan” money. The student got the “education” they were going to get.

The pointy-heads need to know that the money is only as real as they make it. Worthless graduates can’t repay “loans”.

Exactly!

I was all against stupid loan forgiveness, for basket weaving degrees subsidized by the taxpayer. Then, I found out about NESARA/QFS. What a Diff!

It's more than a fiat dollar collapse - the fiat dollar is being deliberately taken down, along with the FED and Deep State Cabal central banking. As for loans, this entails a general loan jubilee. All student loans, and many other consumer-level loans will be forgiven - closed out.

NESARA brings in a precious-metals backed financial system, including *some* cryptos (not BTC).

I'm understanding that the jubilee will apply to consumer mortgages and loans as well.

Alexander Hamilton becomes a villian; JFK becomes a hero.

Make the institution’s of higher learning refund the money. Not the tax payer.

What a joke:

“Combined, they have about $278,000 in student debt, and together their payments total around $900 a month”

At that rate it would take them nearly three lifetimes apiece to pay off what taxpayers were put on the hook for with their completely unnecessary, luxury Boston University supposed educations.

Stooopid! Idiots! I thought college students were supposed to be smart...goal oriented..practical? How does it compute in anyones brain the scenario whereby they say to themselves “ok..I’m in my early 20’s...and I’m going to go into debt for $230,000. Nooo problem.” This is insane. And, Oh!! I paid off MY student loan! I want my money back dammit!

IF this is ever done they should make it as an advance on their future income tax refund or additional payment. We all know how much our government lives taxes.

Why should my daughter, who works two jobs as a CNA, pay for their Ivy League school debt?

I guess that’s her white privilege.

In the old days, students used to work to put themselves through college, in addition to their families having put aside a little money at a time for years to help them.

But that was before American society degenerated into an instant-gratification, give-it-to-me-now, I-don’t-want-to-work-for-it culture.
