Cancel the college loan debt; it should never have been there to begin with. #FreeCollege and free technical schools is an idea whose time has come.

Today I wrote about the extension of the student loan payment pause, which uses the same authority from the same legislation and in the same subsection of the U.S. Code that would be used to cancel student loan debt. prospect.org/education/stude…

Yes make blue collar workers pay for upper middle class schooling and poor choices of majors.

Hi. Person who’s attended free college and free technical school here. That’s already a thing.

Establishment Dems, like the GOP pretend they don't work for us. Acting only on behalf of their Big Money $$ donors. We must move past money in politics and put the public interest first!

Student loans were created by Ronald Reagan ... he replaced a bill created by President Truman that made the first two years of college free with grants for living expenses!

Cancel my mortgage too please!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Maybe it should not have been there, or at more reasonable cost, but people entered into loan contracts. They were college bound, and I assume smart enough to understand what an obligation is. Why would one generation get a free ride, where others have repaid their debts.

Cancel my mortgage too. I thought 20 years worth of payments would go quicker than this.

What Biden promised: Elimination of student debt for families making <$125K/yr. Knocking $10K off everyone's student loan bills. What Biden delivered: ⭕ It's almost as if he's just another typical poitician who lied to get elected and then abandoned the working class. 🤔🤔🤔

I’m sure he’s waiting to do it closer to midterms or 2024 election, when it will gain him points that he can actually use. Everything is just political chess to all of them and I’m so sick of it .
