Are they going to actually require a degree to qualify for the student loan payoff at least? Or are we bailing out the idiots that couldn't/didn’t cut it in college?

Why should I have to help payback your student loans? I didn't sign anything and I didn't take any loans out over my 2 degrees.

Because I didn’t get a stimulus I want something

Student loan forgiveness counts as taxable income. Good luck to you.

Democrats are the party of the poor so they say, yet they are making people who didn’t go to college pay for people who did. Majority of Americans don’t go to college.
Seems really fair.

I'm guessing your loan wasn't for a degree in Economics?

Who cares? Why are "conservatives" continuing to argue for the fiscal discipline of corrupt system that hates them?

Oh yes there will be. Banks would trip over themselves to lend again as many of the loans are federally subsidized and the payoff cash they receive would be burning a hole in their pockets.
The whole reason feds started managing student loans was because private banks were making rates so high, no one was able to pay them back and there was a very high default rate and these loans could be erased under bankruptcy.
The standard to receive a student loan will be so high, that only those who can afford the cost of college will be able to qualify!

Good point.
I doubt it.
The narrative will be that the oppression they faced prevented them from completing degree.
There's always an excuse.

Why don't liberals understand that when the Dollar crashes, they aren't going to somehow be magically immune to it?
More government programs, UBI, more stimuli, forgiving student loan debts, printing more money, etc. those things are all just adding fuel to the fire. You get that, right?

Just wait til they learn about "stepped up basis" and what it means to them when Biden removes it.

Because college is not a job placement center. You use the education in your career and that is certainly the main objective of 99% of people. But technically they are just their to educate. Your salary is not on them.
Now, why not put the burden on the people that actually chose to pay for a degree with no real plan on how to recoup the investment...…...I don't know, by like making people pay their loans.

I paid off my student loans. Started 529s for my kids when they were born. In hindsight, I’m such a jackass.

Yes, and I'm not a liberal.

Did you know that public education only went through the 8th grade for a good chunk of American history? When it was deemed necessary that the workforce needed more educated people in the market, accompanied by a desire to lead the world in an educated citizenry, public education was expanded to include high school.
The marketplace now demands more people with bachelor's degrees. Seems fitting that the U.S. address this need the same way they did before and include at least the first two years of college/trade school.

Why do taxpayers have to foot the bill for this?
Why not mandate the colleges give refunds if their students graduate and make less than a high school grad, lol.
If a college gives useless degrees and takes borrowed money, they should be on the hook for repayment of some of that loan. Then they would be more careful who they accepted and what they teach. Marxist and related studies would see a big decline.

Why? You'll likely be able to use that saved money toward other things.
