Hmm. Sounds like some people are just bad with money, loans or no.
Plenty of people can pay them back. They got degrees that have value. |

I've posted this before, but....
Sallie Mae should be shut down. Imagine if a private bank chased teenagers and offered them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, now, on the premise that they pay it back 'when you're making a lot of money'. It would be called what it is, predatory. Student loans are exempt from bankruptcy. Many loans were transferred to Navient, a private company, and those are also exempt from bankruptcy. Unless you are the child of a member of Congress. Who did all this? Joe Biden. Tuition levels have increased at 500% of the inflation rate, because of all the money being shoveled out. Shut off the money, and watch prices drop. 1) Forgive all student loans, maybe up to a certain income level. 2) Close Sallie Mae, and Navient. 3) Watch tuition price levels plummet. 4) Major boost to the economy, as the hundreds of dollars a month are spent on other goods and services. Yes, I'm aware the .fed would 'lose' the student loan money. They piss away more than that every month. |

Smoke screen, something for the dems to blame the R's for when the economy collapses. Couldn't have been the runaway spending.

Since it’s obvious the GOP isn’t going to actually cut spending as needed, they might as well use it as a tool like the left does. They should introduce a bill around Sept that basically does what poopypants tried to do but they announce it like the second coming of Christ and just do a full media blitz so the left can’t take credit for it since you know they’ll try. It’ll put the left in a pinch because they can’t really campaign against it but they also can’t give the GOP the win of passing it and then get no credit with single issue voters. It’ll be fun to watch them twist themselves into knots. Crucify me if you want but I think we’re playing violin on the Titanic financially speaking in this country with the debt so might as well go raid the liquor cabinet before the bottles get broke. |

Money loaned out for a college degree needs to be tied to the average rate the job pays. Knew a guy who went to a 4 year art school. 80k. The only job he could get when he graduated was a job as a photographer at Walmart/Target $12/hr. No way that people attending that school should get 80k loans

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. So how many students do you know who are getting $10k? The original Covid shutdown was justifiable because of how deadly Covid was. Keeping the shutdown was a Democrat Party power grab. You can’t compare the early Covid actions with Biden buying votes with taxpayer money. |

Yes, I'm aware the .fed would 'lose' the student loan money. They piss away more than that every month. Entities such as Sallie Mae and Navient do not define the loan terms. The Title IV Academic Servicers (TIVAs) simply service the loans following the strict terms set by the Department of Education. Additionally, Navient sold its Direct Loan portfolio to Maximus. Even if Sallie Mae and Navient closed today, all of these problems will still exist, and none of them were caused by any of the TIVAs. In your ignorance, you've misdirected (most) of your anger. You should really be pissed at FBHO and FJB. Additionally, the idea that people are taking out loans because of what Sallie Mae, Navient, etc. are doing is laughable. They are not the driving force behind the "MUST GO TO COLLEGE" push. You can thank boomers, media, a corrupt government and many other likeminded groups and individuals for pushing our kids towards government funded indoctrination centers. My wife had a loan with Sallie Mae. It was the first debt we paid off, and we never had any problems. Then again, we're not lazy, entitled, ignorant taint-huffers that are inclined to blame others for our failures or debts. Quoted: But then they couldn’t fund the ACA which is the whole point of the easy loans. The theoretical interest earned was used to make the ACA look more budget friendly without actually evaluating what making loans stupid easy to get would do to society in the long term. It's actually even worse than that. ACA had a rider called the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA), which ended the Federal Family Education Loan Program and implemented the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. This effectively made the federal government the sole originator of government-backed student loans, which make up over 90% of all student loan types. The "savings" created by transitioning from FFELP to Direct Loans was used to make ACA look more budget friendly. Basically, big daddy gov executed a covert takeover of the entire industry, and nobody outside the industry noticed. Fuck BHO, Fuck JB, and most importantly of all...fuck the globalist, Marxist, corrupt government selling out its own people using their own money. |

I dropped out of college after the first year.
Too expensive and didn't see where the education was going to put me in a job. Worked a few years and saved money. Found an relatively inexpensive medical training school for x-ray technology. Required to be at the hospital 40 hours a week. Got a job in another hospital working 32-40 hours a week. I essentially had no life for two years. School, study and working left me little time for anything else and barely time to sleep. Never had to take a loan. Graduated, passed boards and had a great career in radiology. So I decided to choose a lessor cost education and also worked my a$$ off while doing it so why do I have to pay for people that chose poorly and took out loans for questionable degrees that probably didn't work while going to school? We should not be responsible to bail out people that make poor decisions. Life is hard. Being stupid makes life even harder. |

Zero sympathy, my high school GF was headed to college for “ fine arts”, I did the math at 17 and knew she was gonna have a hell of a time turning it into a decent job and that was a pile of cash to throw at “ maybe “. Last I heard she about 40 and was running a mini daycare in her living room to get by.
I did my own math, and decided to skip college, went military and was fully retired by 40, with no college debt. |

I wonder how many college students your scenario applies to? Do you think it is the majority or the minority? Which scenario describes 98% of the student loan debt in question? Serious question. Without the data we can go back and forth. Anecdotally, I've personally witnessed my scenario 100% (notice the use of "anecdotally") I have no doubt that your scenario may apply to a few. |

Why don’t you talk to all the older less healthy people who got Covid when it first hit. It might take you awhile to find a lot of them since so many of them died. People make decisions based on the information available when they have to decide what to do. Conditions change and what was perfectly reasonable at the time they made the decision may no longer apply. Covid as it exists today or even a year or two ago is not the same as Covid in March if 2020. |

It's funny. I didn't go to the private university I wanted, I went to a local community college for 2-years to minimize my cost, and then finished my STEM BS at a state U I could afford. I came out with loans, but never bitched like these idiots and paid them off within a few years or so.
I don't comprehend the mass sense of entitlement by this current generation. They attend a college they can't afford given what they KNOW their loans will be, too often pick a useless degree that they KNOW offers no real world value or future, and then wail victimhood and that their loans should be magically erased. It's insane. |

My parents were not wealthy and could not help much beyond giving me a place to live and paying for health and auto insurance. Things have changed so much with kids going away to school even out of state because their parents pay some and they borrow the rest. How many of the students actually worked while in school? I look at my grandnephews and grandnieces and was shocked to see how many toys they have. One nephew actually built a shed to house the toy overflow. There simply was not enough room in their bedrooms and play room for all the toys. I hope they don’t feel entitled to a four, five or more year vacation when they grow up. |

So everybody had 3 years to pay off the $10k. That's $280/month.
What's a typical interest rate on student loans? How much did they save with 3 years of zero interest on that $10k? ZFG about the irresponsible shitheads crying about not getting another handout. I hope they learn a lesson, but I know better than to count on that. So I just hope it hurts as that will satisfy my schadenfreude. |

They will blame Republicans rather then the Democrats who made them bullshit promises of free money.
