Obama's promised student loan forgiveness program, another check his mouth wrote that his arse can't cash



quote:

Danielle Ramos' student-debt nightmare was supposed to be over.

Like thousands of others who studied at failed for-profit colleges, she was promised by the U.S. Education Department under President Barack Obama that her federal loans would be forgiven by now. But as the weeks tick by with no reprieve, the 30-year-old college student fears the financial burden will force and her 4-year-old son to move back with her parents.

This was a terrible program. It needs to be abolished. With that said, anyone who is on it must be grandfathered in. It's not right to pull the rug from under people after they have been part of a financial program.

If you're dumb enough to attend a for profit college, you should have to eat your mistake. I fully sympathize with people with crushing debt for worthwhile career pursuits and degrees. Devry? No.

How about being a responsible human being and not shitting out a bastard child you can't afford

fricking idiots. No one takes responsibility.

I work 2 damn jobs and pay 3000 a month just in student loans trying to get them paid off in the next 3 years. But thats because i am responsible and take responsibility for my actions, fulfill my commitmnets and don't have children out of wedlock

fricking entitled arse lazy generation

Perhaps the biggest culprit for the student loan problem now.

TheAtlantic

quote:

Between 2000 and 2014, the number of students holding education debt doubled to 42 million, their total debt outstanding quadrupling to over $1 trillion. In 2000, there was only one for-profit institution among the 25 colleges and universities where students held the most student-loan debt. In 2014, there were 13, and University of Phoenix topped the list. The amount of debt owed by those attending for-profit colleges has grown from $39 billion in 2000 to $229 billion in 2014—which is more attributable to increases in the rate of borrowing at those schools than to increases in enrollment.

Paying money back that she borrowed might be a burden for her?

Hmmmm...if it is a burden for me to pay my home loan, can the government forgive that load and I won't have to pay it off?

Both

Finished with 130k. Have whittled it down to 80k the past few years. Really accelerating the payoff now. If I just paid the minimums it would take over 20 more years to pay off. Instead I am.just hunkering down and trying to get rid of them in the next 3 years.

Good on you, mate. I'll have about a hundred when I'm all done, but they'll all be federal. I live pretty minimalistic so I'll probably take a similar approach.

Those for-profit-colleges are fricking terrible... but again, the root of the problem is the fricking government guaranteeing student loans to every person who wants them without limit.

This program caught my wife's eye a few years back because her job would in theory make her eligible. I told her then, "Do we look like two people who the government is going to let skate on their school loans?" meaning two married white people with kids who have good jobs. We are the payors not the payees in society. She said she fit the criteria.

Well she pre-applied this year and guess what - I was right. Her particular type of loan was disqualified.

So frick it. Burn it down. If I have to pay so does everyone else.

Bad idea from the get go (Thanks, Obama), but there should be a way for those who had already started the process of being repaid to get what was offered at the time.

This board talks about other federal programs that aren't financially feasible in the long run and need to be eliminated, but where current beneficiaries shouldn't be punished. This is a similar situation. The program was stupid from the start, but if the government offered it at the time and people had applications in process, they should be able to follow through.

Exactly...who raised the Baby Boomer generation? The so-called "Greatest Generation" did that. And then the Baby Boomers gave birth to Generation X'ers and Millennials.

Dear goodnees.

1. No one made you go to college
2. No one made you get pregnant / where is the dad?
3. Get a 2nd job, live poor, etc like i had to and many others out of college.

I recently paid off all my student loans so i have no sympathay for these people.
