if we are giving illegals free college, I think we can forgive loans to real Americans who have attempted to pay and are good citizens otherwise.....
trillions to Ukraine and Israel, but leave our citizens under debt slavery.
Hold it! You think the taxpayers should have to pay back their debts? Regardless of what the stupid congress does in other areas with our money we’re still not on the hook for a debt these students signed off on... Sorry, but that includes your kids.
My kid was smart enough to pay as he went along and not take out any loans. He got through it and doesn’t owe anyone anything. He now has a high paying job and is trying to live the American dream. He doesn’t owe your kids a dang thing.
After paying 100k out of pocket for my kids to go to school, I have no interest in paying a share of your kid’s loan. The debt isn’t “forgiven” it’s handed to taxpayers. No thanks.
What debt ridden son have a degree in that I need to pay for?
My grandaughter worked her way through her bachelors degree at Northern Arizona University. She paid her own way throughout, working two jobs; she acquired her Bachelors degree after only three years, graduating Magna Cum Laude, with zero debt.
She then went on to the University of Montana where she completed her Masters Degree in only 18 months while working three jobs to pay her way, again graduating Magna Cum Laude.
She starts her Doctorate program this fall. She has been hired as an adjunct professor, is participating in two seperate research projects, and also works at a local charity part time, all to pay her own way. She will acquire her PhD and have zero debt.
Other than minor assistance from my wife and I, she received no help from anyone else.
I fail to understand why I should be responsible for anyone who fails to plan properly and pay their own debts.
What you mean "we", Paleface?
How does the one who paid all her loans think about her sibling getting off scot-free? It’s a matter of choices, really. School, degree and the jobs that go with.

1. Giving illegals free college needs to stop now!
2. Forgiving Americans’ college loans is stealing from ME — a taxpayer. I couldn’t afford college, why should I pay for other people’s kids’ debts?
and for those that paid them off give a reduced income tax rate of some percentage for the next 10 years. That should offer people who did the right thing some relief from feeling they were stabbed in the back.

Ah, there’s the Stupid Party ‘logic’: Since we’re already violating the Law (no authority to ‘loan’ nor ‘forgive’, let alone BE in the arena of ‘education’), it should ONLY be *for* Citizens we do so!
