Hell why stop there? Let's cancel mortgage debt and credit card debt too. It's no big deal, it's just highlighting some numbers on a computer and clicking the Delete key, right?

All these snow flakes that think they need a loan because they can't afford college should join the military in a non combat role for 3 years and then go to college on the GI Bill.  That's what I did. It's what their grand parents did too.

 

I don't feel sorry for them at all.

Because college loans are so easy to get way too many kids (yes, kids) go to college when many of them should be getting an apprenticeship or whatever. They leave school, whether graduating or not and many still don't have any prospects. They owe a ton of money and have no real way of paying it back. Because loans were so available colleges took advantage and became more expensive and bloated.

I'm sure that will play well with everybody who worked their way through college and spent years living frugally to make sure they pay back their loans on time.  I understand she has to break through in the polls, but this is an ill-conceived proposal.  It helps candidates like Buttigieg and Harris.

Moreover, what about those people who already paid off their student loans?

 

Will they be refunded?

I'm fortunate enough to be completely done with student loans, and yeah, forgiveness would be a bit of a slap in the face. It's also a major issue that was forced on a lot of these people by the previous generation. Go to college or you'll be a failure, etc. I don't think the debt should be erased, that's just way too much. But I do think it would help everyone tremendously if the interest on the loans was capped, or frozen altogether.

 

I don't know if it would work or not, but a lot of people my age are voting for socialists and looking for handouts because of the financial position they have been put in by the lies, predatory loans, and economy they were given. Throughout the recession people were graduating with high five figure to six figure debt (from a school they were told they had to go to in order to be successful), not getting jobs in their field, looking at an upside-down housing market with very little opportunity, and the interest the student loans were gaining was higher than what they could pay down in a month. Then they get blamed for moving back in with their parents. I do think capping or freezing the interest on these loans would actually impact the voting positions of a good portion of America. jmo.

Sounds an awful lot like all of those people who were ‘tricked’ into taking out loans for homes they couldn’t afford. Wait! In fact it’s EXACTLY like that! Less than 10 years later and the government has screwed up yet another loan program. Brilliant!

sorry Joe, you were a decent option for the Party, but that shipped has sailed and the way they have set up a demand for a candidate to be ideologically pure in act and thought will make it impossible for you
