You people don't have the votes to stop what's coming. Republicans have lost the popular election in 6 of the last 7 presidential elections. Trump may win the popular vote for his reelection, but it is not getting any better after him.

They act like they didn't have 4+ years (less for some) to plan for the $600 monthly payment. Plenty of money for spring break vacations every year, though.  They could have joined the military, but the military is full of Trump Nazis that will steal your soul for the GI bill.Then again I laugh because I don't have a college degree and retired at 46. |

We have so many entitled people today in America that take no responsibility for their bad decisions. Please get your lazy money grubbing hands out of my pockets. There are people in my family that worked three jobs to put themselves through college to earn a real degree. Today they are debt free with very good jobs and bright futures. My own daughter drove a huge garbage truck to help put herself through college. But myself, I had little money. I went to Vietnam instead of college and afterwards took a job where I could get an apprenticeship to get a trade and never looked back. There are many directions to go out there for young people who don't want to lay on their butts for four or five years running up debt for degrees with little value and expect someone else to pay for it. It’s a cruel world and I am not your sugar daddy.

Quote HistoryQuoted: just curious.. when was the last time you made $45-55K from a starter job with a BS degree and had to pony up $600 a month for a loan? I think $40-50K is the avg starting job after college in Oklahoma Pay your debt kiddies. Life isn't perfect right out of school. No school doesn't lead to a sweet new car and a mansion on a hill right after you graduate. You have to continue to work your way up. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The thought of forgiving college debt is insane. The left just needs to go seek life elsewhere. Now this guys examples are stupid. He says a $600 a month student loan payment could be going toward a wedding or a down payment of a home etc. Yeah, pissing money away on a wedding versus making the investment in a solid education should not even be thought. Investing in your future with a worth while degree that can carry you through life or deferring the gratification of a home purchase. Seems like it would be an easy answer. Get gov't out of lending. We paid off all if our college loans. So can everyone else. Never buy new cars or new house or the latest cell phone while paying off loans. Alot of people confuse need ans want. |

Give them a choice. Pay back the full amount, or volunteer for the military and have part of your salary go towards paying your debt while you do wild and crazy things for the nation in some foreign land.
With the understanding up front that if you wimp out/don't make the grade your full debt is still there and in need of being paid off. |

The simple solution is to make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy, and get the government out of lending. Put the lenders on the hook, and watch the tuition inflation problem fix itself. Story problem: If 30% of college students BK and erase debts upon graduation what does the interest rate have to be for the bank to realize a minimal 5% ROR? |

Bankruptcy is not always automatically granted. A court gets involved, makes determinations of whether you qualify, of how much debt is released, etc. It isn’t like you just drop a form off at the courthouse with a $50 filing fee then call Dave Ramsay’s show to scream “WOO-HOO, I’M DEBT FREE!”

No, it isn’t. Also, the colleges/universities need to be reeled in with their spending. You go for a education, not pools, climbing walls, and coffee bars.
Student loans should be treated like a home loan... Don’t give some motherfucker $200k for art history degree. |

You “pay your debts” guys do not understand that bankruptcy exists to make lenders more careful about who they lend to, and for what. Maybe your attitude is why we have grads with $120k in debt for a Womyns Studies degree wanting Bernie Sanders to rescue them.

He does present a compelling argument. My biggest concern however is the old "if you give a mouse a cookie" routine. What is next if this comes to fruition? How much more free shit will we pay for when people get a taste of it.
I would be more interested in a system that has a forgiveness match dollar for dollar of student loan debt that is paid by the individual. Or, forgiveness only when an IRA contribution is made for the individual. That way there is still some personal responsibility and creation of healthy financial behaviors. Student loan debt is a soup sandwich no matter what. You have parents and teachers encouraging students who shouldn't go to college to go, then give them easy access to debt and degrees that are worthless. Few 18 year olds have the wherewithal to go against that set up. However, it is their responsibility to make wise decisions and pay their debts. |

PS "Debt Forgiveness" is a Latin term meainng "making other people pay your way." Nothing is "forgiven", WE pay for it one way or another. |
