[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought college will be free and all college debt will be erased...per the Dems, no?[/quote]

Yeah some progress in that direction would be the case if Republicans stopped being such myopic arseholes and would stop blocking every bit of progress ever. [/quote]

That's not progress.  Nothing is 'free' in this world.  Why should I pay for students loans for someone who went to Brown University to get an art history degree, to have a low income job.  Think about your notion of free being progress.  Does progress mean getting strapped with others' debt?  If so, not smart nor advisable.  Go to a school you can afford or don't complain about your student loans or expect someone else to pay YOUR obligation.  Do you go into a restaurant and order whatever you want and expect the table across the room to pay your tab?!?[/quote]

I agree to be an extent but we are talking about 17-18yos here, many of whom have never even taken a financial literacy class.  They should not be allowed to take on that much debt to begin with.  I would much rather congress focus on making college more affordable for future generations than forgiving existing debt, but something has to be done. The current system is not sustainable.  And I say this as someone who stupidly took out a lot of loans and have since paid them back.  Saving what we can because I do not want to put my kids in that position.

It’s easy to say go to a school you can afford when for a lot of kids across the country that would mean community college only.[/quote]
