I can’t believe that people that paid their student loans themselves are now going to have to pay for people that won’t pay their own student loans. The university I went to encouraged me into a useless degree to get more grant money for their new major program. I never found a job related to my degree but I still paid off my student loans.

Everybody’s tip toeing around the real issue the Obama administration and the Democrats party took over all student loans the government is making large profit because of the outrageous interest rates To be fair all they would have to do is lower the interest rates or give interest free loans to college students Also colleges need to be held responsible for the outrageous cost of education

POTUS has no authority to forgive any debt. This essentially is a federal spending bill, which must have its origin in the House. Biden continues to exceed his constitutional authority – and he calls many of us semi-fascist? Do not be complacent in November. Vote Dems out. And always remember: the government gives us nothing; taxpayers do.

Think we are focusing on the wrong thing. Biden is getting all the heat but the president has no money to give. Our legislative branch is the one allowing this to happen by not closing the vault door. Blame the legislative branch of the government they authorize all the spending or at least according to the Constitution they are suppose to. This is a bad deal anyway and I don’t care which party is in charge it should be stopped.

Over 25 years I helped my 4 kids pay off their Education Loans. When I was struggling making low 5 figures a year. Still paid off the obligations. Now this Idiot is buying votes this fall from 43mm students that will not go back to work. One student they are publishing said now he can move out of his parents basement because of the $10k forgiveness. We are encouraging people not to work, at the workers expense. Another Socialist move by the Dems!

Increase Pell Grant money for Technical School / Trade School jobs. Nursing, Welding, Electrician, Plumber, HVAC/R, etc. No loan forgiveness at all. Individual states need to better incorporate technical education into High Schools. Students should have option for 12th grade of High School to be spent at local Technical College. Get HS diploma and Technical certification at same time.

This is really just a vote-buying scheme. These are already government-guaranteed loans, so the taxpayer is already on the hook for the money, with the possibility of the government getting repaid. If the student defaults, we are still on the hook and the government won’t be repaid, but at least the debtor has to acknowledge his responsibility. If the loan is “forgiven,” the taxpayer is still on the hook (the school already got paid), but the President gets the credit for being generous with someone else’s money. See how that works? This was all set up when the Obama administration basically federalized all student loans, making the borrowers essentially clients of the federal government. Think past stage one.

The first two answers combined encompass my real answer. But also what a slap in the face to all of those who HAVE paid off their OWN student loans, which they chose to incur that same debt. My son didn’t go to college with the intention that “hopefully someone else will foot the bill” so either he or I wouldn’t have to use our own money to pay it off!

It’s time for Biden to Prove to the American People and to take the Coginative Test.We all know He should step down. Heads should Roll over the Raid. I wouldn’t trust the FBI because they were on the Russian colusion as well. Hillary came out with no charges. 500,000 Dollars on his Beach House and He leaves the Borders wide open.
He and Harris have a hand in killing thousands of People because of the open BORDERS. They should be IMPEACHED ASAP.. He claims to be President. Well let me see. Throw away the P and he should be a RESIDENT. I stand by this. USMC VETERAN. How many agree?

The best solution is to just get rid of the government backed college loan program. Tuition will lower as enrollment at colleges lower and become more reasonable as private banks use better terms to compete for the loans. Nothing (except cost of living, and technology) has changed in college education since I went (back in the eighties) to warrant the high costs today. It’s just education taking advantage of the ‘free’ money they can get. I’d rather support trade schools for this reason.

The Biden administration has decimated our military, making recruiting a difficult challenge. They have begun to enlist people without a GED or skill set. Therefore, I recommend that anyone who accepts this college debt forgiveness be required to serve in the military for 2 years…even if their service is unrelated to their degree (get some real life experiences). Then help those interest in serving their country to get their GED and prep them to enter military so they can contribute to our national security as well. Make sense?

The general public is not responsible for funding the irresponsible actions of borrowers who took loans and now are unwilling to pay. Loan terms are clear if, if you are not willing to work off the debt do not do not take the loan. That said Biden is taking this opportunity to “buy ” voters that underpin the Democratic Party’s irresponsible behavior of blaming others for personal choices gone bad.
The Student Loan forgiveness money should have come from the universities and institutions of higher learning. Not the American taxpayer
