I'm on Warrens side. 100% behind college debt forgiveness.
She is just doing it wrong. Make it dischargeable in bankruptcy court. That's it. Can't get a decent job because you and your 100 feminist friends took "Femenist French Lesbian Poetry in the 18th Century"? No worries. File for BK. Trash your credit like you should. Then watch as colleges no longer have women's studies, or swahili, or any other underwater basket weaving degrees. You guys need to play the long game. |

Yeremyahu:For 16 years the Republican Party rejected northern working class Whites, preferring a futile and quixotic appeal to "naturally conservative" Mexican and Central American immigrants. Donald Trump changed this and appealed to those northern working class White people, and because they had been harmed by the anti-Liberty and anti-White policies of the Democrats his minimal effort in this regard gained him electoral votes that had been thought impossible. spartacus2002: I have never understood why the Republican Party believed this, if they ever actually did. Central/South American Roman Catholic culture is not nearly the same as European Roman Catholic culture, it's far more Marxist. Just look at the current Commie Pope.

Does it cover the rest of my $350k in student loans?
My social worker salary just barely makes the minimum. |

A shit load of this debt financed lifestyles for students, beyond just paying for school.
Privatize student loans, get the government out. Let these folks file bk on the gov ones if they want a credit hit. Student loans will become bare bones, and privitizing them will see bullshit programs depart public education, including bloated administration. I fucking hate autocorrect. |

Do you even understand basic economics? The entire reason for the huge inflation of tuition costs is from no longer allowing student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy. They changed it around 1980, which is precisely when the huge inflation in costs started. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Do I get back the tens of thousands we paid to pay off student loans as responsible people? Or just another way I get f-ed for not being a dumb fuck. Just add it to the list of sh!t I pay for in order to be blamed for all of the degenerates problems as a WASP male. And no, I’m neither old nor rich.

So Warren wants me to subsidize college courses on Tu Pac and White Male Privilege? No way. If someone wants to take that class, it should be on their dime and not mine.

$640 billion for this, another $640 billion for that... pretty soon you're talking about some real money |

I still have $36k left on my student loan. I can get behind this

Wait, I only ever took out about $6,500 in student loans, and just payed the last of it back a month ago with a big lump sum payment. What do I get? Nothing. But the idiots that got degrees in gender studies get their debt wiped out? F*** that.

I pay my bills, and took out minimal loans on a degree that pays me Well. Fuck her and fuck letting people of easy who made bad choices.

Let’s just make it 50k debt reduction for all. 50k of any loan you have. This is stupid as shit.

Do they do this on purpose or are they this Fucking dumb? This solves half of the equation. The other half you need to fix is giving out student loans because “every child has the right to goto college”. If you stopped lending money to high risk borrowers... esp for those who look to majors like liberal arts and do nothing degrees, there wouldn’t be as much of a crisis in the first place.
This has housing bubble written all over it and it’s going to have the same predictable results. |

Quoted:
I think a more realistic approach would be a government program to allow consolidatation of all existing student loan debts into a 0% loan. Discharging/forgiving the interest of existing loans is a lot more reasonable. The new consolidated loan would be federal and not dischargable under bankrupcy. Any missed or partial payments incur a %APR penalty on the remaining balance. A long period without missed or partial payments can reduce the %APR penalties back to 0%. Furthermore, the bill should limit tuition rate increases for any university that acccepts federal subsidies and student grants. The rate of tuition inflation is absurd. Finally, something should be in there to encourage the use of vocational and trade schools. I'll bet 75% of the people with degrees don't actually need them to do their jobs. They would have been money ahead with no loan debt and 6 months of on the job training. Imagine putting all those student loan payments into a 401k that early in your career instead of paying back banks... you'd have $100,000's more when you retire. View Quote |

Index the limit a student can borrow to the expected median income of that major. For majors without applicable data, just index it to the US median income. Cut the student off before the debt burden becomes unsustainable, and turn bullshit majors into money losers instead of cash cows for the school.

Some of you are View Quote When the risk is taken from the one and distributed to the many, while the one still gets the benefit, the one acts like there is no risk. This creates waste. In this example, the form of wasting free money on a useless 'education' at a accredited leftist indoctrination camp. In your foolish little misunderstanding above, the lender is the one taking no risk, and the proposal is to put it right back upon them. From there, they can decide how they want to run their business in complete freedom and taking on whatever risk level they wish. |
