So are we going to give the former students who worked, and paid for their school $50K each?

And, what are we going to give to the people who realized they couldn't afford to a 4 year college, went to tech school instead, and are now permanently disadvantaged in the job market?

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.

Get the government OUT of student loans and make the colleges loan/finance the students so they have a vested interest in student success.

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.

The Rockefelleresque aristocrats leading the Republicans since Wendell Willkie beat Robert Taft in the 1940 Republican Presidential Nomination push that propaganda line to excuse the cheap labor they profiteer from.  It also explains why the Republican Party has avoided a platform that would appeal to Unionized workers.

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.

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.

bankruptcy isn't always automatically granted and doesn't always wipe out 100% of the debt.

It's not like you fill out a simple form, drop it in a mailbox, and voila! you're debt-free.

This, for student loans going forward and perhaps some stipulation like showing a few years of hardship and likely inability to repay in a timely manner.
Worded in a way so that it is a fairly low threshold.

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.

Why would the colleges give a shit?  They've already been paid.  Options:

1.  Put colleges on the hook and recoup the money from them, if one of their students declares BK.  Watch those bullshit majors vanish overnight.

2.  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.  Again, watch those majors vanish overnight unless the college caters to the trust fund crowd who is paying cash.

Apparently, you don't know how the world works.

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.

If you got the government out of the student loan business and made lenders do a proper risk assessment on their potential clients then your second bullet would take care of itself as nobody would make loans for stupid bullshit.

As usual, the solution is actually less government rather than more of the same government that screwed it up in the first place.
