I blame republicans on this one. Supreme court ruled no to this. Republicans sit by and let it happen

Let's stop calling it Debt Forgiveness and start calling it what it is - Debt Transfer.

Heck, I'm wondering how many of them took out big college loans, spent their time and money drinking beer and chasing girls, blew off college and now get it all forgiven?

A LOT of them did this.

I don’t get it. You went to college. You’re supposedly smarter than me. Figure it out. I am not wasting 4 years of my life to make peanuts when there are trades paying 6 figures. It’s dumb.

If they (the guberment) really cared about educating the kids, they would pay teachers a better wage. I don’t want somebody teaching my kids that wasted 4 years of life to make a low-middle class income. I can tell you right off the bat, most of them have no business trying to teach kids. I think it is intentional, they want ideologues that will help raise or create good slaves for the future.

I am sure there are a few that really care about teaching kids, or come from a family tradition of teachers. Most of them are a long way off from that ideal.

. College is not for everyone. Some do well with no need for college. Some flounder inspite of college. Depending on career choice, college may be 100% necessary. College professors are teaching young adults, not kids. How those young adults conduct themselves and what they take away from college is a function of their own decisions, their upbringing, and their work ethic..

Funny how the same people biotching about student loan forgiveness turn a blind eye to the $757 billion in PPP LOANS forgiven. Twice as much as the student loan forgiveness amount.

I don’t support either, but in fairness sake…

So just so we are on the same page, taxes paid to keep small private business afloat via paying wages(25% went towards wages), paying their operating costs, paying off creditors, and paying for Ski Nautiques, and we are good with that?

It’s all horseshiat.

Further, for every job saved by PPP loans, studies found it cost taxpayers between $170,000 and $257,000. What’s the national average for wage earnings again? Why is it so much higher? Where did those excess funds go?

(quote) 2007: CONGRESS CREATES PSLF
In the last year of President George W. Bush’s presidency, Congress passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act with bipartisan support. It promised to ease the burden of repayment of student loan debt—a burgeoning problem caused by skyrocketing college tuition—through a number of modifications to existing programs and by creating new ones. The Bush administration touted the bill’s expansion of Pell Grants, increasing the amount of money low-income families could receive toward tuition. Further, it reduced the interest rate on future federal Stafford Loans, cutting them in half over the following few years.

Perhaps the largest lasting impacts, however, came for borrowers already in repayment. The Act created two programs that were designed to ease the ongoing cost to borrowers and to help them eliminate their loans if they were working in public service. Although the White House did little to advertise these programs, Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) have remained integral parts of the federal student loan system and are regular news items in the ongoing student debt crisis.(/quote)
