The only reason that people who invested in higher ed in order to improve their professional prospects can't declare insolvency and write off those loans - as millions of businesses have done - is that Sen. BIDEN PUSHED LAWS TO PREVENT IT.

Your still hot Marianne but your going to make me suffer twice…

What about the 529 plan that my wife and I spent 2 decades paying in to? We went without a lot to make sure our kids had the choice to attend college, something that was not an option for either of us. Proud I did it. But pissed AF you are trying to make the rich richer.

Start with the real problem & fix it. Academia is a rip off. It is on autopilot & will suck us dry.
