They can sell their house. You can't sell a degree. |
Ok chicken little. Listen ya’ll, this will help middle class people who went to college and they will use this extra money to put back in economy and help everyone. |
What? Sure they can. It called a JOB. |
More inflation Wheeeee !!! |
That's not selling it. You still retain ownership of the degree. And when you're employed, you can't sell your JOB, either. |
Correct Trust the lunatics on dcum to do what they can to change the subject Some people are just simple |
There actually were a lot of student debtors asking for the ability to use bankruptcy for student loans but that would take an act of Congress and they sit around doing jack so we're stuck with executive orders. |
But why members did Congress get PPP loans when there was no interruption in their wages? |

I don't have any undergraduate debt because my parents were in a financial position to pay for my undergrad. I was in debt of about $50k after law school, but that was because of a merit scholarship, parental assistance, and my prominent firm was one of the few that hired 1L students and i was one of the few they hired.
I paid my law school debt off in less that 3 years - but that's also b/c I used discretionary income elsewhere. I could have paid if off faster. As far as Biden's 'debt cancellation' move - I don't mind it but I don't love it just b/c I think the structure is regressive. Rather than using a $10k across the board fig leaf, I would have rather he focussed on the portion of debt holders who had been years out of school and had a relatively low income (the population I'm thinking off is well meaning people who racked up debt on degrees they didn't complete and years later are carrying the debt while not getting the income post of a college degree). I have no problem if my tax dollars are spent clearing the student debt of other people - but I just wish it was more targeted on people who are carrying debt and are trapped in relatively low income jobs. |
| Great….reward deadbeat losers who can’t meet their financial obligations. |
| Even the Washington Post was incredibly critical of the President’s cancellation of this debt. |
