[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

It doesn't really matter and Liberty's median debt isn't actually that extreme. The federal loan lifetime borrowing cap for undergraduates is $30k. The avg kid graduating with a bachelor's degree is about $29k. Here's Liberty compared to DMV schools:

Liberty's median debt: $25k

Virginia Tech: $22k

George Mason: $19.7k

Maryland-Baltimore County: $19.5k

Northern Virginia Community College (2-year college where Jill Biden teaches): $11k

Again, you’re ignoring parent plus loans (which I don’t even think should be issued). [/quote]
