Student Loan Debt Forgiveness

Actually, if you look at who is supporting this, they're either currently attending or up to their necks in debt after graduating from liberal arts colleges. They bought into the narrative that you have to have a college degree to succeed in life, and if you can't afford it, the government will happily loan you whatever you need.

Bernie and the other dems proposing this (aside from AOC who is just regurgitating whatever her handlers tell her to say) know perfectly well that it won't pass the constitutional test.  It's not about actually doing it.  It's about hoodwinking the ignorant masses into voting for you because you've promised them free stuff.

Raising taxes.  

What's next?  Forgive all mortgages?  Give everyone a million dollars?

Forgiving student loans will add another TRILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS to the federal debt.  
Oh, you already paid your loan?  Screw you.  You get nothing.

We have a MORON in the White House, but we have NO ALTERNATIVE.  The Democrats have lost their minds.

You missed one.  Pokahonkey Warren proposed reparations for homosexuals this week.  Seriously.

Regarding the part in bold.  How would it be determined which black people are descendants of slaves and which are descendants of black people who actually owned slaves?  What about those of us taxpayers that have no family history of ever owning slaves?

It's an impossible proposal.  It's just another pandering point that these candidates know plays well in polling, but they also know there's no way that the country could afford to do this, and they know the federal government would screw up managing the process.

Higher education has become very left leaning especially in the arts and sciences concentrations. These same people are the ones screaming about the National Debt. Always some kind of weird contradiction in beliefs or supports.

Anyways. This sums things up pretty well...

Reparations for slavery would've been a good idea.......... if it was addressed 150 years ago. Now, it's pointless. All those effected by slavery are long since dead. Besides, if anyone deserves reparations, it's Native Americans. We stole their land, raped their women, killed them in masses and sent them to live on reservations in places we had no use for, (until we find it rich in natural resources and in that case, we do what we want and to Hell with them.) They have been treated worse than ANY group of people in American history and I see no one pleading for them to get reparations.

Hey now. Indians got the casinos, and you got a job at one of the casinos, so be careful here. Wink

I've heard of students taking out the maximum loan amount every semester even though they needed far less, and spending the difference on pub crawls and fraternity dues and other non-essentials.

And we all know that colleges and universities, especially private for profit ones, are charging tuition that is way out of line to the value of the education.  Charging tens of thousands of dollars for licensing in fields like dental hygienist and radiology tech - stuff the community college down the road can train you for, for much less money.

I think we can tackle both bad behaviors with a simple, elegant change:
1) student loans get repaid based on income for a pre-determined number of years
2) if there is still money owed after the years are over, the college or the university pays the lender that amount.

Colleges will be more careful about who they admit, and how much they charge, with these two simple changes.
And the taxpayer won't need to be on the hook as much.

I have a much more elegant solution.  Get the government out of the student loan business.   If we do that, then lenders will be much more careful whom they lend to, and for what courses.  Colleges will be forced to control their expenses and tuition rates, or they won't have any students.

BINGO!!

The perception today since Obama took over the student loan system is that there are unlimited funds for students to borrow.  Since everything is backed by the federal government, banks will give loans out for whatever amount to just about anyone.  College tuitions have been steadily increasing for decades, but the acceleration since the feds took over the student loan process is ridiculous.  

What's really irritating is how these colleges that raise their rates the most constantly poor mouth and say it's necessary despite the fact that most of the elite schools in the country including state run universities have endowments in the trillions.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
