You’re taking my quote out of context


Agreed

I agree entirely

Wasn't this kinda the problem in the first place?

So, they're in a "real bind" because they're now required to pay debt they voluntarily signed up for?

That degree in Womxn’s Studies didn’t lead to a well paying career?

Sucks to suck
And
Bidenflation is real

It seems that many took the loans believing they would not need to pay
them back, and now they are upset that they have to keep their word.

That's life.
According to everything I've seen, employers cannot find workers and (starting) salaries have increased 50%.  Also, these bozos overspent--expecting other people to pick up after them. Time to grow up, don't ya think?

Without realization, you've actually made the dumbest comment.

And it affects everyone, from entitled borrowers who throw money at avocado toast instead of loans to the bus driver who didn’t go to college.


If people read the article, many chose to spend money on other things with the assumption their financial obligations would be waived.

This behavior will continue as long as they are never forced to grow up. But look who’s in charge, it’s no wonder no one thinks they have to pay back their loans.

Once again those financially responsible in the middle class get screwed.

That’s not entirely fair. I agree it is their responsibility but these are kids taking out massive amounts of debt under the advice of terrible adults, usually people in education that stand to profit from this financial burden. No 18 year old has a concept of what that much debt is like or how to pay it off.

They assumed, then went retarded on the assumption.

The debt NEVER went away.  I am all out of sympathy.

You only start talking to "people in education that stand to profit" once you begin looking at schools. I attended many college expos with my kids. Recruiters arent shaking these young people down. They WANT to be there.  

If a student can't do simple algebra and calculate interest rates and loan costs....maybe that person isn't ready for higher learning. This was explained to my kids before a dollar was ever spent.


It's not hard to understand how we got here. We have an entire generation of people that have been coddled and think they walk on water and can do no wrong. And when shit goes sidewards, they look for someone to bail them out. It's as simple as that. We're training people to rely on government as their parents. That is dangerous and un-American

A video (YT short) I watched, earlier today, dealing with this subject...

Displaying an obvious acumen for risk taking...

What could we do with a PHD in underwater basket weaving?

We've known for months that loan that loan repayment was coming back. Plenty of time for those who were in trouble to figure their shit out.

They may have already undergone that procedure.

but thats like, hard and stuff.

A politician promised something and didn’t deliver???



Welcome to the real world, kiddies

USSC just keeps getting between Biden and his buying his reelection, shocking.

People are willing to die on this hill to own the libs. It's a $10k relief, not complete loan forgiveness.

But don't let this distract you from the fact that Trump and the Retardicans agreed to shut down the economy and printed twice the amount the projected cost of student debt relief.

Personally, I think you are the one with the problem. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions.

Sell your toys and expensive cars; then get a second job like the Boomers had to do n

Do you support 18 year olds voting?

Seems like maybe they shouldn't have trusted the government, and spent money they should have been saving, based on said governments promises. I award no sympathy points.

$10K forgiveness? We paid for both our kids college educations entirely out of pocket. How about a $20K tax credit?

I’ll pay mine, but the complaints I hear from college friends aren’t entirely invalid. We’re sending billions of dollars to other countries while the dementia patient destroys our economy devalues our currency and increases cost of living. My student loan payments were annoying before Covid, but with the inflation and additional costs of raising kids, it is now a knife in the side. I’ll encourage my children to skip college and go to trade school. I’d rather spend 100k to set them up for success with tools or a business.

Im just gonna argue your point, but student loans are not given out on a basis of whether the student has a projected ability to pay them off. They are given out similar to how oprah gives out books. The process should be more difficult. That said, pay off your loans...

Maybe this time they at least learned they can't trust the government will come through when it promises give-aways, or at all.  They'll probably all vote for Trump next year.

Nah, it's all his fault because he stacked the Court.

Old folks used to say all the time "Don't count your chickens before they hatch."
These goddamn fools should have listened to the voices of experience, instead of continuing to believe in Santa Claus.

We've sent billions overseas for decades, nothing new, and not an excuse to not pay for your education.
That being said, yes, US military power has made global trade possible and it's paid for by the US taxpayer, who gets little in return aside from cheap foreign goods. Europe subsidized higher education to help their people to be competitive in this new economy, America didn't. Nobody forced anyone to go to college either.

So, the working taxpayer has to fund the military, and pay for Hunter's coke, as well as support the livelihood of the non working, non taxpayers, and now also has to cover the debts of kids who went to college for fields that don't pay enough in wages to simultaneously pay off the loans and live a cush life.

Fuck that whole system. Fuck USGOV, fuck globalism, fuck Marxism, fuck socialism, fuck the intelligentsia, fuck the whole higher education racket.

 I'm so tired of giving a day a week+ to this beast.

But hey, did you see you can get a 50" TV for $500? So awesome.

Fuck yeah, hoist up that straw man.

The fact the government has done retarded shit in the past is not a justification for all the other retarded shit they want to do.

There is no justification, at all, ever, for taxpayers being forced to fund handouts.

They KNEW what they were getting into (a ton of debt) and now they have remorse? Suck it up and welcome to adulthood.

I've heard the phrase a few times. Life had to donkey punch me a couple times for it to sink in, but it did sink in. The problem with many of these folks is, that they are old enough to know better by now.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a Florida Literacy Bill into Law.  Will go into effect when school starts in the fall.

It is subjective. These "kids" are really incapable of making long-term life decisions unless they had good parents or are just naturally intelligent enough to rationally make financial decisions. Most of these "kids" never managed money, few ever worked a job on a payroll, weren't required to pay any bills...and then you have banks "encouraged" by the .gov to hand out school loans like candy because they know the .gov will either bail them out or make a deal. Nobody gives a shit about the stupid college graduate with a useless social services degree who can't get a job other than waiting tables, living at home with mom and dad trying to live like a Hollywood young-adult sitcom while enslaved to debt. Hell, at least for the good-looking young women, there are sugar daddy dating sites and Olyfans

Add to the fact that these "kids" going right into college with no life/employment experience, they do no analysis on actual college degree success at getting a decent paying job in any sector let alone understanding the competitiveness of those sectors.

My son is learning the hard way as well. He did get an ROTC scholarship, but it was only three years, so he had to get a loan and HE mismanaged it. He also worked full time when in college, so it's not like he wasn't doing anything, but even that small loan is still kicking him in the nuts. Hindsight is a bitch, so stop your bitching and work harder dipshits...maybe by the time they're 40 they'll be in a position to start a 30-year career to retirement at 75-80.

Meanwhile, my wife will be working on her doctoral dissertation this fall and it will take two to three semesters. Two years into her doctorate and she's only had to pay about $5K. She's been working as a graduate research assistant which pays her tuition and pays her about $500 a month...works full time as an Assistant Principle. The best way to avoid debt is busting your ass, discipline, and a little cost-benefit analysis.

Sadly, FJB and his administration used this college-debt relief to dupe the ignorant young peeps, and now they'll get their votes blaming their failure on evil republicans who hate college kids. Great strategy for the ignorant...

This

So?

Dumbest comment ever.

Yet, repeatedly stated on this website.

K Grampz.

I’m young and married a chick with a mountain of student debt that we’ve been chipping away at rapidly. Gramps is right- fuck em

FJB and F those deadbeats that don't want to pay their bills....

This is the core problem.  Biden and the Democrats are creating a distraction.  Make student loan debt dischargeable in bankruptcy and you will destroy the liberal indoctrination camps.  That would be a win/win.

I guess that logic should absolve any and all borrowers from ever being held responsible for their financial commitments? So no more defaults or bankruptcies then? What about mortgages and car loans? How about corporate debt? How about government debt?

Amen! That goes for any individuals and groups - even nations.
