Cancel Student Debt

[Blues Man]

Just wondering how much better my retirement would be if I didn't sink $180K into my children's college education.

that's a poor investment.

Not in my children,

Then why are you whining about it?

You shuld have secured your own retirement before you spent all that money on your kids because they sure as shit ain't gonna take you in

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Everyone who DIDN'T go to college, get to pay for the people that did.

 

[WEATHER53]

You get what you pay for and you pay for what you get.

Sanders just said it again. Does he realize how stupid and unfair it is for those who paid their debt fairly and those who never took on debt or decided to bypass college for another career. That dude is a complete moron.

So because some paid it, everyone must pay it. That is illogical.

Time for debt forgiveness of ALL student loans. Examples of Debt forgiveness date back to biblical times.

Wake the fuck up. Stop being a selfish prick.

There are exactly two steps in the student loan issue.

Take out the loan.
Pay it back.

Of course, if you like screwing over those who play by the rules, then it is YOU that needs to wake the fuck up.

There is a long history of debt forgiveness. It is time to forgive student loan debt.

The government and the leftists running our universities have screwed young people far too long.

Because “cancelling” means the taxpayers pick up the tab. Debt doesn’t just disappear

It can just disappear. Tax payers already picked up the tab. There is no additional expenditures needed.

So the universities and debt holders just eat it? What about all those who already repaid their debt?

The government would. The government loaned that money in the past or else it wouldn't be "debt" and the money has already been raised and spent. Cancelling the debt is the easy part. It is providing free college going forward that would be more problematic.

Dude.....there is a contract....it's called an obligation. The trillion does not just appear....or just disappear.
It's debt taken on by the signer of the contract....not by America. WAKE UP TO REALITY!!!!!

Contract or not does not change that the government could just cancel the debt and it would not cost them anything. It is no different than absorbing the toxic mortgages.

Didn’t the government pay out the money in the form of a student loan? If so, there was an expection they’d be repaid when the students lived up to their contractual obligations.

They can change the contract. I doubt that many people would say no if asked, "You can keep paying this loan for the next twenty years or we can write it off if you agree"

Fine. But writing it off obviously wan’t the original intent, which is what I think is pissing folks off.

If Trump wants to ever see 5-6% GDP growth, then cancelling student debt would get him there.

Yes to the indoctrinated, logic and fairness are difficult concepts to comprehend.

There is a history of mass murder by the government too. Shall we continue with that history or should we say, "No, that isn't the right thing to do".

It would not.

 

[NotYourBody]

God forbid we put young people ahead for the good of the nation. It wouldn't be fair! I didn't get that so FUCK THEM! Right? You're a real patriot.

That is pretty much the rally cry of the GOP. NO FAIR!! What about meeeeeeeee??????

True. Fairness is the ability to not punish those who played by the rules with having to also pay for those who did not play by the rules.

Logic is knowing that if you reward bad behavior, you'll get much more of it.

Cancelling $1.5 TRILLION in Federal student loan debt means putting the county $1.5 TRILLION further in debt. Or am I missing something?

Oh the GOP don't even pretend to care about debt anymore. Haven't you heard?

Logic and fairness are subjective. You don’t have logic btw.

I would rather we print $23T and pass it out to the creditors but we can start with your idea. I will take mine in fives and tens please.
