The GI Bill is the point! That was govt funding your education. So the rest of us DID pay for your education. FDR wanted it for everyone but the G.I. Bill for veterans was all he was able to get through Congress. It helped build a middle-class then and would help rebuild it now

The GI Bill is an earned benefit. The GI bill is not a handout. Soldiers work way more hours than our pay represents. You want that benefit, earn it.

Previous generations of Americans got free to nearly free college, and they didn’t even have to serve. I’m still glad they got free to nearly free college, as it should be.

Blame government subsidies for the rapid and predicted increases in tuition costs.

So you think that the current generation deserves usurious loans to go to college and previous generations didn’t?

No, I think this is a problem created by to much government, being made worse by even more government. No person today who holds a student loan was forced to do so. They chose that loan, at those amounts, and agreed to repay them.

I’m sure we can both agree that ripping people off isn’t good, even if it’s dressed up as fair.

Getting ripped off would mean they signed for the loan and never got the money. They got the money. The people ripping them off is the school which took that money and didn’t provide an education that would result in positive income in the future.

Usury is ripping people off. I’m not even religious, but it’s also a sin.

Again, if those kids got the money they signed for, they willfully accepted the agreement. The only way they would be getting ripped off is if they signed for money they never received, yet still had to pay back.
