why stop there? Some people can't make their car payments. Many people are underwater on mortgage. I owe Bubba $500 because Bama didn't cover the spread.

I’d prefer to see every student loan zeroed than sending money to Ukrainian and supporting these illegals. Americans first. Then, not eligible for new loans, and strict guidelines going forward for new loans. Education only, no extra. And dischargeable in bankruptcy. That would slow down loan approvals and amounts.

Die in a fire. You sign your name for school loans, car loans, credit cards, Gap store cards, and the terms say you're accepting responsibility.

Build us 30 more nuke plants in the US, then I'll entertain your bullshite about shifting debts from people that signed up for them to some plant baw.

This seems harsh, particularly since you left out the second part of the sentence. The important part that said “rather than.”

I don’t want student loans zeroed AND I want to quit sending billions to Ukraine. But if I have to choose one, since our government is hellbent on spending money we don’t have in the first place, I’m picking Americans to benefit. Every single time.

Yeah. There are some super deranged people on here. All of them devout Jesus people of course. I think “die in a fire” is actually from the gospels.

No. I was intentional. There is always a carrot for young idiot voters to fulfill their lazy tendencies, whether it be student loans, EV subsidies, refundable tax credits, yada yada.

Send money to no foreign government, and relieve no explicitly assumed debts for individuals.

Land and expand, baby, and pretty soon we're paying for illegals to go to college. LINK

Energy and food are the future. Invest in adding units to Nuke plants, building pipelines, sucking up nat gas, and making fertilizer less expensive.

But screw that, someone got a marketing degree for $90k that keeps them as second crew leader at Applebees.

This is what is known in logic as a "false dilemma."

There is no reason to pick between those two choices. One has nothing to do with the other and the obvious correct choice is to do neither.

Again, no need for all of that. The government just needs to stop guaranteeing the loans in the first place.

Yeah, but that's just it. You don't have to choose one of those.

Matter of fact, you CAN'T choose one of them. Your opinion won't change the reality of the situation at all.

And since it's purely a hypothetical exercise you're making up in your own head, you might as well choose the correct answer instead of pretending that you have to choose between two incorrect answers.

1. Surely kids who got into college aren't so stupid as to believe that their college education will be "free" regardless of who pays for it, are they?

2. They aren't "wishing." they're demanding. And whining. And generally proving that they aren't mature enough to be entrusted with a loan to attend college in the first place.

Wtf is up with people quoting half of someone’s response and then spouting off some way out of left field response?

I specifically said I don’t want to do either of those things. They are both wrong answers, like you said. I said IF I had to choose one. Which no one should, but again as I said, our government is hellbent on finding stupid ways to drive us further into debt.

And the only reason I was responding in the first place was because another poster told someone to “die in a fire” after quoting them but omitting half of their response as well.

For the record:

Forgiving student loans = NO
Billions to Ukraine = ALSO NO

We are in agreement here, Congress is the one who doesn’t agree.

ftr, this was never my point nor what i was saying. I agree with you on both. I was referring to govt sending money over seas and not to Americans... period. Americans fricking over Americans for a dam vote and a nice kick back. The federal govt never had any intention to help people through covid. But let's help other countries that brought shite on themselves with no issue because somebody is getting paid. Those other said countries will never return the favor. Ever. America is the laughing stock of the world.

Lenders won’t price loans correctly unless you can discharge them.

You also specifically said "If I have to choose one of the two."

What's up with people acting like they didn't say what they obviously said?

"If I have to choose between you being a moron or being dishonest, I'm going with you being a moron. I mean, you're probably neither, you probably just aren't thinking carefully about what you're posting, but it seems like you're determined to keep posting like this, so if I have to choose, I'm going with moron."

That's basically what you posted. I'm somehow being unreasonable for pointing out that there are other options besides you being dishonest or being a moron?

Good, take some responsibility...

I took out loans and paid them back. Prioritized my obligations over the lastest iPhone or a night of drinking. 0 sympathy.

thats what i told her. But she wants to consolidate 3 different loans i think. Not sure how it works.

She currently is paying 3 separate contracts, similar but different than the other ones.

She will have a new single contract for the same total $ owed (principal) unifying the exact terms.

The new contract will be the 4th decision she willfully agrees to, in writing.

Unlike most she understands she is making a commitment. No sympathy for the stupid idiots that simply refuse to accept they freely and willfully represented themselves as capable independent human adults and refuse to accept their responsibility. The only “tricks”, fraud, or deception involved are in the heads of those that cannot read a simple contract. (It says if you sign this form you will pay this much and then goes into the details)
