Elizondo and trusken are rightfully scared that the more educated someone is they will be indoctrinated into democrat ideology. Oh no those big liberal colleges!

Hell republicans if given the chance would love to bust up teacher's unions in public schools (perhaps even doing away with public schooling altogether).

The cost of school just isn't the same as what Boomers and Gen X paid.

It really is too bad as you get older you get more conservative and fear change. What's worse are those that have been brainwashed and believe this until they are older.

Bro they are total losers that are breaking a contract they signed and agreed to

Hope that helps

Not surprising Groomers are cheering on bailing out idiots who borrowed a bunch of money for a graduate degree and now don't want it pay it back

Talk about a tax break for the rich lol

We can't fix the college prices! Let's completely subsidize it to artificially inflate the price to taxpayers infinitely so that way it looks like the price is free! Fixed!

Tuition prices are ridiculous and many majors have little in the way of job opportunities. How about we reform colleges or fund alternatives like trade schools or apprenticeships

You can discharge your car loan via existing bankruptcy law any time you like. A lot of student debt cannot be discharged via similar means. That's a large part of why this issue has become the issue it has; with no means of debt management we're otherwise gradually falling back to a form of 19th century debt slavery. The universities are bringing this on themselves by fighting bankruptcy law tooth and nail; had they been more reasonable the point would've been moot. I do not particularly like student debt forbearance or forgiveness in a perfect world, but it's turning into a sensible option in our corrupt far-from-perfect world.

Oh I agree. Higher education costs way too much now and you can't discharge it depending on the loan (most have the type you can't discharge).

But 10k is not a lot of money to forgive. 20k for Pell Grant recipients is a better amount and can make a difference if forgiven, but 10k is small potatoes. It's not going to suddenly change these graduates' lives.

They keep talking about loan forgiveness but won't address why it's so damned expensive to get an education in the first place. And they won't. It's big business. The almighty dollar reigns supreme.

Life is relative.

You can seriously screw your life up for less than 10k

Edit: But this country also has states like California that if you don't steal more than $1,000 you are somehow OK but not OK.. it's weird.
Depending on your mood, $10 is worth breaking someones jaw over.

I'm with you there. Band-aid the symptom, ignore the problem entirely, is no way to maintain a healthy nation long-term.

I wonder if it's like a test balloon or dry run type of thing for legality or whatever.

Using part of the PATRIOT Act to own the Cons is pretty fucking funny though.

[MrSparkle001]

And another problem: What happens in, say, four years when we have four years' worth of new graduates with new student loan debts who DON'T have them forgiven because they weren't around for this round in 2022? Do we just forgive loans in perpetuity now? Or is it only this current generation of graduates that benefit from this?

This is why this smacks more of politics and appealing to voters than some genuine attempt to change their lives or the system in general.

It's so expensive because the Government guarantees the loan

Gee, where have we seen this before

College is a scam. Everyone's gonna be a fucking CEO but nobody is gonna mop the floors, right.
