This isn't the only scheme Demetia boy is buying votes with your tax dollars.

I won’t go into how the Supreme Court ruled it was illegal for a president to relieve student loans.
Bottom line: if you take out a loan and don’t pay it back, your what we use to call, a DEADBEAT, period.12 -
I have a 4 year degree in History and English Literature, with a minor in Soccer and Coeds. I worked my way through school and never borrowed a dime.
It is outrageous that Biden would do loan forgiveness. Since he is forgiving $50,000 per student loan, it would be only fair for Biden to cut me a check for $50 Grand.

You cannot forgive a loan (unless it was your money you loaned). What Joe is trying to do is shift the UNPAID debt burden onto others all in an attempt to curry favor with the student loan DEADBEATS.

I do not get the whole issue other than trying to buy votes…
My sons completed their undergrad degrees owing zero upon completion. We made sure both of our sons were able to do this by planning accordingly.
One of my sons went on to Graduate School and received a useful degree which allows him to care for his family and do well overall. He took on some Student Loans along the way which he is paying off as quickly as possible. He and I were talking the other day, he said he does not get it either.
You apply for the loan, promise to pay it back. So what is the issue.

I put myself through college too……those people took out loans….they can pay them back. It's their own fault if they overpaid for useless degrees.

Bottom line is:
Buying votes. Brandon is doing lots of kissing (lieing) right now and so is Kamala.
Trump says THEY are giving Brandon performance enhancing drugs by vaccination's to Brandon's behind so as to make him stronger for the debate.

When I went to the University of MO, and when many of us here went to colleges or Universities, it cost $100 tuition per semester and maybe $150 for books. Now you can buy a car for what a year in college cost. Just saying: Times have changed.

Really great racket: Borrow money to attend college. Party, play, and 😴. End up with no skills, no real education, and no future. Get all that loan money written off by Depends Joe. Heckuvadeal IMHO.
My kids went to college on scholarships and their own funds. Got degrees in subjects that had some actual promise of a job. Two of three don't actually have jobs in the field of their degree but that doesn't change the fact that they have jobs and retain at least some of the knowledge acquired from college. Now, the taxes they're paying are funding the deadbeat students who don't have an education or a future.

This reminded me to see if I can find "Soul Man" a C. Thomas Howell (Robert from "Red Dawn") movie. Being white and doing "black face" it might be hard to find. I wonder if anyone went all undercover brotha to get an education for real? I know a white she-devil went and got a tan to get a job at a collage.

I still remember writing the last check for my final semester of graduate school in 1982. It was $745.00 which included books. In 2013, I wrote a check that was just North of 10,000 not including books to cover my youngest son's final semester.
Times certainly have changed.

The cost for a college education has certainly outpaced inflation over the past forty years. However, there is no excuse for people not paying their debt. And for a lowlife like Joe ( who hasn’t paid for anything in the last 50 years) to try and put that debt in the backs of others is truly despicable

I totally agree that taking a loan means you must pay it back. However, I do see a lot of evil colleges that offer no nothing degrees for big bucks. They use tricky tactics to get students with empty promises of high paying employment opportunities. They are IMO about as bad as rip off telemarketers and should be held accountable for their deceitful ways.

A valid point that should be addressed/remedied. But, a separate issue from owed debt

Colleges and Universities are big business, they’re in it for the money. Their total capital worth is: $890,000,000,000, and they don’t pay taxes. They should be held accountable for their miss leading of students to take loans and class with no viable future.

My sons best friend in high school went to several colleges and got post graduate degrees in subjects I never knew that degees were offered in that field.He was deep in debt and could not find employment for his degree.He ended up going back to a trade school and was hired quickly at a well paying job where you get your hands dirty.

I have never used my History degree to get a job, and I worked my way through school, never borrowed a dime. But the college degree has been useful. Studying History and English Literature for 4 years is a Basic Training for the brain. You have to learn things from reading books, and you will read hundreds of books in 4 years. I made good grades.
When I wanted to build a real stone fireplace, there were no nearby masons who knew how to do it. I bought 2 books on the subject and built my fireplace by myself. It turned out great. Draws well, too.
No, when it came time to get a job I went to the VoTech school and got a Paramedic license. I did that for 14 years. I built log cabins for several years. Then, I went to VoTech school again and got a CDL, did that for 8 years.
These young people who want a job should skip the 4-year-party and the $55K loan for a degree in German Polka Studies, and they should go to VoTech and get an electricians license, or maybe HVAC. But, many of these youngsters don't want to get their hands dirty.

Well said. They should also except the fact that they got themself in debt and it’s up to them to pay it off.
That’s a very nice job you did on your fireplace.3 -
Thank you. It took me 10 weeks to build. 3,000 bricks and 7 tons of stone. I was in good shape when I finished that job.

No argument here. Learning a trade gives you more than just the skills for the job. You learn all kinds of other things that will help you thru life.

They should just cancel the worthless degrees.
