GOP is making sure that student loan debt is crushing young people

[Toro]

Average student debt is $25,000, a small price to pay for 70% higher lifetime
annual compensation than with a high school diploma.

Indeed it would be - for those who learn something that leads to actual employment. Of course there is talk of federal subsidies for baskets woven underwater by those with masters degrees or beyond.

Dem student loan bill fails | TheHill

Senate Republicans blocked consideration of a bill that would allow people to refinance their student loan debt in a 56-38 vote on Wednesday.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) authored S. 2432, the Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act, which would allow more than 25 million people to refinance their student loans to today’s lower interest rates of less than 4 percent.

Democrats have been pushing their “fair shot” agenda ahead of the November elections by holding votes on student loans, raising the minimum wage and ensuring women have equal pay for equal work — but Republicans have blocked all of legislative measures.

Republicans could do something to help the middle class. Then again, maybe not.

How does anyone 18-21 who wants to go to school either not show up and vote or vote Republican?

Nation’s Top Student Loan Official Resigns | HuffPost

The top government official overseeing the $1.5 trillion student loan market resigned Monday, citing what he says is the White House’s open hostility toward protecting the nation’s millions of student loan borrowers.

“The damage you have done to the Bureau betrays these families and sacrifices the financial futures of millions of Americans in communities across the country,” Frotman said.

Stay poor and indebted, vote Democrat! When you're not unemployed. we'll get you a minimum wage job!

Republicans believe "minimum wage" is "overpaid".

In your case, it would be.

What they really should do is let students deduct the cost of their college education throughout the course of their employment careers in the form of tax deductions.

Or stop trying to send every kid to college.

Most people are not going to be lawyers, doctors, or executives.

Most people need trades and skills. Instead school districts build football stadiums as opposed to vocational school infrastructure, then wonder why millions of 30 somethings have no job skills and live at home with 6 figures of debt and no future prospects.

I'd say the left did this deliberately.

Well it's either pay a higher debt and get a job or pay a lower debt and come out of college without a job.

Obama got young kids hooked on $1,000,000,000,000 of debt. Millennials have to choose between leaving home or paying back Obama's debts
