      Nor should he. It would be an outrage, an utter outrage. I can't think of anyone in American society less worthy of a massive financial handout than unemployed college grads. There's a growing backlash against the so-called meritocracy and something like this might push it over the edge, as it should. The degree of contempt and disregard for the true working class would be totally beyond the pale. Bottom line if you're going to give college grads a big fat check then you give them to everyone.

      @@Ahng_Noying9574 This is what I'm talking about. In case you didn't notice, and I'm sure you didn't, higher education is in the country is coming to an end. The jig is up. This phony liberal narrative, this fantasy that higher education is some noble, good thing for society, and not a de facto caste system, and by now altogether just another grift for all parties involved, students, instructors, researchers, administrators, banks, even Wall St., is getting set to crumble.
      The meritocracy, which amounts to nothing more than holding a college degree no matter how banal, has predictably become a de facto pedigreed aristocracy. And you can't qualify for the most menial professional employment without it. And naturally the tide is finally turning against it, as times inevitably get tougher So I'd look for an exit strategy if I were you, instead of clinging to the always spurious conventional wisdom, that college attendance is next to godliness. The center's not going to hold on that one. The social mobility you lust after is going to have to come from somewhere else.

      In any case, I'd get over it if I were you. The jig is up when it comes to 'higher education'. And as I was saying the social mobility you crave and fetishize, will have to come from somewhere else. But I have to admire your unwitting candor, as you appear to be completely ingenuous about it. College indeed is solely about one's own self-interest. And for that you have to pay for it yourself. And take your chances.

    College aid debt relief for some is wrong! The middle class taxpayer will have to pay for relief to college students whose increased income from proper college planning should have paid those student loans. It's unfair to expect us others who couldn't get student loans or free grants & scholarships... who didn't have friends in the grants & internship offices... to put their applications ahead of ours, year after year... It cost us years to complete college while minimizing debt; working while paying for college while supporting our parents, some their grandparents & siblings...

    And let's understand what a good portion of debt is for; health insurance. Many students have taken out LOANS to pay for state university health insurance (3-6k per year). The same health insurance that disappears when & if you actually need it for a serious illness or injury and can no longer maintain full-time student status?!! So you borrow money for years to pay for health insurance, get sick and the health insurance is no longer valid, BUT you still have to pay the loans for the health insurance!
    Biden should absolutely forgive any debt from any student with a medical withdrawal!! It's not fair & no other civilized country does this to their people. One serious illness can destroy your life, such as Type 1 diabetes. It's not even considered a disability (yet you can die every day), so you spend your life with the main priority & solely focused on getting & keeping health insurance to have the treatment to stay alive. Then live with the debt of student loans without a completed degree that you cannot repay because all that matters is your health insurance. It's horrible & inhumane. Please, please include people who've left school because of an illness (not a strict permanent disability) in your request.🤍

      All student debt is to a certain degree a con, because a degree is essentially a requirement for entry level jobs now, and most careers will never deliver wages that enable people to pay their student debt. The government doesn’t need this money, most student debt will never be collected. I assume you believe society needs people to perform roles like teachers, social workers, administrative professionals, nurses and CNAs, etc. right? Well those jobs don’t pay enough for people to afford their debt burdens that they had to take on to get the degree necessary for these vital jobs

    I don’t have a debt. I worked and was taking as many credits per semester I could afford. Why should I pay for those who either chose a wrong path or simply are not able to use their knowledge? How did they expect to pay for their school? Did they think about the salaries in the chosen field of acrivity?

      This is a misconception about student debt; taxpayers aren’t paying for student loans of people who can’t pay. Rather than have education be free, our society has decided to have the government give the money to students who then have to give the money to schools who can just continuously raise tuition prices and fees as much as they want. The government is paying out money for students regardless of their ability to pay, with no expectation to make it back. This system makes no sense, but it exists because loan servicers get to skim off the top and make profit from public money and student debtors. Asking if people considered the salary of their chosen career is the wrong question; many of the most vital professions or jobs in this country pay very little. Do you want to live in a world without nurses, teachers, social workers?

      @@astralarchaeology5840 Yup, that's what he saying. And don't you dare hide behind 'society', like some chickensht, you want the money for yourself. You went to college for purely selfish reasons, you didn't care about society, you just wanted leech off it, with some cushy white collar job making three times the money of people who actually work. And you wanted to look down on them and condescend to them on top of that. And you'd pay whatever it took to give yourself that chance. And then when it didn't work out for you, on account of too many useless, striving, narcissistic degree holders scrabbling for that finite number of parasitic income streams in the white collar rat race, you started shrieking for the govt. to pay your bills for you. And that's student debt relief in a nutshell.
      You're the selfish one. I've never seen such brazen selfishness in my life.

    Nobody forced people to go to college and to take out student loans. People willingly took on dept. It is only right, proper for people to pay back their student loans. If people with student loans get a free ride, why not add car loans, credit cards, mortgages, and credit lines to dept forgiveness? How is forgiving student loans fair to people that paid back their student loans, did not go to college, and more broadly, the American taxpayer? Instead of trying to find ways to shirk their legal obligations, people should get on with paying their depts, being the people they committed themselves to being.

      I completely agree! No one forced anyone to go to College knowing full well they couldn't afford to pay for it. If you went to a University and got a Liberal Arts or some Genetic Studies Degree that didn't end up translating into anything, that's on you.

      @@bonitaroache73 Why does this work in every other 1st world nation? Why is it that in France they give you money to go to college and pay the tuition? Why can't a country with more people and more money be better than smaller nations? Why must we be forced to pay back the interest when its compounded quarterly and you can only pay 90% of the interest before paying the principle. Student loan debt is designed to never be paid back. I doubt either of you pay very much in taxes as is. More over most of the government's money comes from businesses and sales tax, unless of course you are paying hundreds of millions in taxes your payments are barely a drop in the bucket. This is a call to tax the rich not kill off the middle class. Finally, the economy forced people to take out loans or face getting paid less for the same work. Everybody focuses on Liberal arts degrees as a bad thing, but all of science falls under liberal arts! A medical degree is a liberal arts degree, blame the Enlightenment for degree naming conventions

      Because people have to go to college know for pretty much any entry-level role. That includes trade schools too, which also require education and certification that people take loans for too. People took on debt because their only option was to take on debt in the hopes of creating a better life for themselves. This system exists only to enrich a small number of loan servicers and big banks, why should people be forced to have their earnings garnished their entire lives just so a small number of people can make a profit?

      In 1970 the average annual tuition was $358, today it's $9,750. Even adjusted for inflation it's more than tripled. Colleges have become big businesses. And the more money they take in is NOT going to professors, it's going into these enormous endowment funds and straight into the stock market. Colleges are more like hedge funds & financial investors than academic institutions. It's not that students just don't want to pay it back... The system has been taken over by the same philosophy as the big corporations who require the degrees (it helps keep/enslave the employees better with debt hanging over their heads). It's time for us to stand up for one another.

      Since you are uneducated you dont understand that it's the INTEREST that makes these loans impossible to pay off. Taxpayers are NOT paying for this forgiveness in any way. The numbers you keep hearing about are the lost INTEREST on these loans. Again, costs taxpayers NOTHING to forgive these loans. If anything, this puts money back into the economy so people can hire people like you to do necessary work. This is a GOOD THING for trades work and small businesses.

      @ they “agreed to the debt” without any other real options. Your mother’s phd (strange she had to pay for a PhD as most PhD programs come with funding, not sure I even believe you) cost orders of magnitude less than what todays degrees cost. Of course it isn’t “cool” to be in massive amounts of debt, no one thinks that. People take on the debt because they have no choice, it’s a requirement to have a career now. Why would it not be the state’s job to enforce tuition prices at public universities? They are the only entity with the power to do so. The system is set up to make a very small number of people rich, mostly off of the interest payments for student loan debt which is what causes these debts to be astronomical in the first place. The government shouldn’t be charging interest on money for education to begin with
