Ok with that thinking. I want my mortgage paid off.

It's mind boggling nobody is talking about correcting the root problem, just make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy. Problem self corrects immediately.

If I paid my college debt off while working two jobs and sacrificing family time, what is my cut ? Oh wait , that’s what contributing people do.

Bye Grifter

Lending and borrowing is a very healthy mechanism is a free capitalistic economy. Business and people borrow money to fund their investments, innovation, homes, left style etc. Loans are never forced upon any one who don’t want it. Nor can banks be forced to lend to anyone they don’t want to. When loans are not paid back, the banks suffer and they could collapse and consumers will have to pay for their failed loans. So, why student loans are a special case? Why should student loans be forgiven? There is no such thing as forgiven. Because we the tax payers will pick up the bill. So, students who agreed to the loan, spent the money on degrees that do not facilitate employment, and on college life style that they could not have afforded with the loans, and tax payers are to pay for that? Why the millions of home mortgages not forgiven in the 2008 and 2009 when so many families were forced out of their homes?

Hmm. Or maybe you should have fought for teaching kids about taxes and loans and real life stuff instead of sex and Ritalin.

I still say quality education costs a whole lot

Perhaps, but the money should be clawed back from the schools who hiked tuitions unconscionably. And there is the fundamental fairness question for those who sacrificed to pay for school rather than take out loans.

This I almost agree with you on. In the AZ constitution, higher ed is supposed to be "as free as possible." Free $ from taxpayers to the schools, it got really bad when the gov sally mae took over, that's really when the grift consolidated.
