[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why stop with Student loans, there are a lot of struggling homeowners who need mortgage loan forgiven. Can we get some relief please?[/quote]

They can sell their house.  [b]You can't sell a degree[/b].[/quote]

What? Sure they can. It called a JOB.[/quote]

That's not selling it.  You still retain ownership of the degree.  And when you're employed, you can't sell your JOB, either.[/quote]
Correct 
Trust the lunatics on dcum to do what they can to change the subject 
Some people are just simple [/quote]

You are not selling your job of course. You're selling your skills that you got from the degree that got you the job. Call us lunatics and simple all you want. It is not going to change the fact that this is just political theater.

Look, I have no problem with student loan forgiveness. I do have a problem with student loan forgiveness without a policy in place to stop this from happening again. What about the students who have to take loans after June 2022? Higher Ed is not getting any cheaper. So we have to forgive loans every few years? There is not even a proposal to bring college costs down. It just sets a bad precedence and sends the message that paying back student loans is optional. [/quote]

The issues you cite go back to one culprit: our dysfunctional Congress. They are the ones who set the student loan interest rates, can address affordability, put more restrictions on the colleges themselves to align incentives, tax the endowments, etc.

You need 60 votes in the Senate to get anything done. It ain’t happening. Biden is operating inside the box to which he has been placed by Congress.[/quote]
