I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be in your Twenties and carry tens of thousands of dollars of college loan debt. And we wonder where the mental health crisis comes from? Economic anxiety is a pit of despair. Every American should realize that college and public universities were tuition free up until the mid-1960s. Unfettered capitalism is ravenous in its search for a profit center, even if it emerges from or causes human suffering. How dare we tell young people they should have respect for capitalism when they. have. no. capital! None of this will change until we change it. #ANewBeginning

The first step in forgiving student loans is expropriating university endowments to pay for it. Harvard is sitting on 40 billion last time I looked and that's just one Ivy!

They have no capital? Get a job and work. Most of us follow that route and we learn responsibility and how to handle money. It seems to work for the rest of humanity Marianne.

I chose not to go to college, way too expensive. I chose the trades, make more than most college educated. Stay in your lane. No body has ever died from hard work.

Grow up. You incurred the debt, pay it. Why not pay off my mortgage? Idiot.

I worked and saved and paid my own way through college. What a novel concept these days. 🤔

"Capitalism" (term made by Marx) is where private people own productive resources and thus your neighborhood health food store, restaurant, dress shop, grocer, all are "capitalism". Sure big scandals do happen, but when smart people have tried other systems, then mass death

It's also a clear sign that what really runs things is... "Wealth Privilege!" Using the term "White Privilege" misleads poor whites that they are equal to rich whites... It cons them into voting to favor the top 1% who just happens to be more white than what colorblind gives.

Nothing is free! We tax payers have to pay for it!

And after all the discussions on this, Biden will be made nominee because people will be made to believe that Trump will win otherwise.

Taking out a loan you cannot pay back, this country is doomed. These kids can't even do simple math. Scary.
