Cancelling student loan debt seems like an incredibly unfair policy (re: warren)

Who said the scenario had to be fair? There are tons of people who receive benefits now that people in the past didn't.

And, why is it an assumption that all people incur debt for worthless degrees?

This is a main reason I don’t see cancelling student loans as a winning agenda for democrats. Everyone who payed for their students debts would then have to help pay off everyone else’s debt .

It’s a bullshite way to reward those who received worthless degrees, live above their means, and just want the easy way out.

I’m 28, I still have $30k left on my loans, and a graduated with a History degree.

I in no way shape or form want anyone to pay for what I knowingly signed a contract for.

I want to sign up honestly to speak at the RNC convention or have someone like me speak at the convention because it deserves to be broadcasted to the masses.

1) College Education is not a right.
2) If you're too dumb to know you have to pay these loans back - you should return your diploma.
3) What do you do to compensate the people that have done the responsible thing and paid their loans off?

Reducing Social Security is also a slap in the face to the younger generation. tit for tat.

It also does jack shite to solve the problem.

In fact, it ENCOURAGES the problem.

The PROBLEM is that for some retarded reason, as a society as a whole, we have completely disconnected the concept of actual VALUE as it relates to degrees.

It's basically considered impolite to notice that not all degrees are created equally even within the same schools.

Certainly. I wouldn't mind, if this were the case, that people who paid off their own loans got a significant benefit.

The Student Loan crisis should be on the backs of the boomers and not Gen X/early millenials.

It’s also unfair because.....nobody forced college students to take on so much debt in the first place.

It is your own fault if you get a degree in something that will not provide you an income that can sufficiently supply funds to pay down your debt while still providing you a solid standard of living.

But I'm actually going to disagree here. The overwhelming climate of our policies, of our business practices, of how we think about Higher Education from all sides, all but forces people into college. And we pepper college propaganda, still to this day, to where any normal kid probably can't even envision a future without college.

Business requiring degrees at unprecedented levels, even for entry level positions, is a BIG part of the problem. They are reducing HR spend, and basically making college, not their own processes, the filter for applicants. All while increasing the pool of applicants. The private sector has taken advantage of the point of college in a pretty bad way.

Parents, end up seeing colleges as the ultimate way out and the only way to create a living.....


And governments have used it as a money sink, creating administration bloat to "build special projects."

All the while, college SHOULD be about studying things that are intellectually valuable, this is NOT job training. The purpose of college being lost is EVERYONE's fault.

College is NOT about getting a job. And it never should have been.

Dont want kids to keeping getting unnecessary college degrees? Tell companies to stop requiring degrees to apply for jobs.

My daughter’s dream college is Notre Dame. We can’t afford that in the best of situations. So she’s looking at something in our means.

Liberals would have her run up the bill as high as possible with no consideration of what she can afford, because the government will take care of it.

She has a chance of this strategy working, after all she’s female. My white sons however...
