Your kids got to go to college without having to take out loans or worry about paying tuition each semester. Got it. |
Sounds like you are the bitter one here. They took out loans. The loans are all paid off. Because, that is what responsible people do. |
I don’t have loans. I just think your kids sound spoiled. |
It might be popular with young people, but I don't think it will be overall. This could be very short sighted from a political perspective. |
Depends on who did the polling and the people who were polled. |

You can use gov scorecard to look up the median federal loan sums of former students at colleges and universities in the reddest county in your state or common wealth. Folks can try to astroturf fake talking points and fake cynicism, but every low and middle class, family in America, whether on the left or right, is negatively impacted by student loans. Most of my family are Conservative voters and they would love it if their kids, grandkids, young cousins, nieces and nephews got some relief from this debt, which prevents them from a prime car loan, mortgage, marriage, babies, and other phases of adulthood. This will be Joe and Jill Biden's legacy -- they will be heroes to 45 million Americans (or however many million qualify) and their extended families. And again, about half of those 45 million with debt don't even have a degree.

Liberty University is the biggest receiver of student loans out there. |
Myself and all of my friends who have children burdened with student loan debt are hoping and praying for some loan forgiveness. We chose colleges based on merit aid and scholarships and they still graduated with debt. My child is a teacher who drives an old car and can barely afford rent in the DMV. |
My daughter has debt as well. She has a plan for paying it off. And, is actively doing so despite the pause on payments. If Biden pulls this vote-buying stunt, I will do everything I can to make sure Republicans take over the House and Senate in November and actively work to make Biden a one-term president. And, work to make sure another Democrat doesn't take his place. They cannot be trusted. I also look forward to the law suits filed against Biden since I don't believe he has the authority to do this without a bill from Congress. |
So you don’t care about abortion rights? Lgbtq rights? |
Your daughter should be investing right now instead. |
Nope. |
She is doing that as well. We brought her up to save for her future AND pay her debts. |
Well, if there is some student loan forgiveness he will have the appreciation and gratitude of those for whom he made life immeasurably better. And all the Rs who have no problem with all the tax benefits for the very wealthy, etc will be just fine. |
| Loans should only be forgiven to those who contribute to the good of the community,e.g., teachers, medical professionals--but only those who volunteer time in free clinics and the same for lawyers--and there should be a monetary limit those making below $100,000. The loan forgiveness should also be on their credit history. |
