If you want to go to college - Great.

If you get a scholarship to partially or completely pay your schooling - Cool.

If you have parents that can afford to help fund/fully fund your college - Consider yourself fortunate.

If you think us tax payers should pay your bills - GO SUCK LEMONS. Get really big ones for the Politicians that want this to happen.

This will backfire of vote buyin' Biden. Just like the illegal raid on Mara-Lago.
Young people don't vote..Older folks do..
I was going to say this clown is the worst campaigner I've ever seen..But he doesn't campaign.He hides in his basement..Still gets 80 million votes..More than the Black guy.

Re: College Debt. ….
 

Wow. Looking at that list we tax payers are literally still subsidizing the very companies we bailed out at payer expense during TARP. You would think tax payers would be saying, hey, wait a minute.

Re: College Debt. ….
 

Those number actually go back over 20 years to the Tarp bail outs. A lot of the money comes from state and local goverments, incentives to the companies to build Projects in there states and create jobs for those states.

Any thoughts on the college debt transfer?

Re: College Debt. ….
 

$10k doesn’t even pay for one semester. Tuitions have tripled in recents years. Those jobs that require a “positive education requirement” need to invest in their employees and assist in student loan repayment. The good ole days are gone, I paid per semester in 1970: $150 for tuition, $150 for dorm, $150 for a 2/5 meal ticket and about $50 for books and supplies. Another thought, no loan relief for liberal arts programs only those program that benefit society. The government has numerous relief programs i.e. if you make 120 payments and work civil service, the military GI Bill, 100 percent disabled Vet relief, didn’t pay a dime for tuition for my daughters all the way thru their Masters with a CalVet Program. Just my two cents!

[QUOTE=Eddies66;666400]$10k doesn’t even pay for one semester. Wrong again Eddie The tuition at our local community college is $2,520.00 per semester. No need to go to UCLA or Stanford. The tuition keep rising because the university's have no skin in the game. biden SHOULD have gone to them and demanded they refund $10000.00/$20,000.00 to the government, now that would have made sense.

Re: College Debt. ….
 

[QUOTE=Dick Nearhoof;666500]Where did I mention a community college. I personally went to four year undergraduate college.

Re: College Debt. ….
 

Yeah I realize that, But the clowns that can't afford 4 year universities shouldn't be attending them. No one mentioned corporate subsidies either, You did. It's not relevant to this thread, but that's what you do when you can't defend an inane policy. Hell I know a kid who graduated high school with my daughter, got a student loan and bought new wheels for his car, Now I have to pay for them? Just politicians rewarding bad behavior/decisions with a vote buying scheme SMFH

Re: College Debt. ….
 

Is it too late for me to take out a college loan?
I need some race car parts!...
10,000 will move my project along a bit...

Re: College Debt. ….
 

You can police this program but hands off corporate welfare? Do you see the dual standard here, the lack of responsibility to the taxpayer. Your daughter’s friend will have to apply and prove his attendance and need…good luck with that.

Maybe at Trailer Park U . But I help send 3 kids thru school.In
Ohio. 1 was 48k a year and 1 was 51k a year and 1 was 28k I started saving the day each was born .All 3 got scholarship that made it possible to
come out with degrees and not owe a arm and leg. That being said
a buy out off loans is not the answer. When I went to Miami in the 80’s
a semester was about 600$ By the time I got out the price double.
Thanks to the Reagan cuts. People don’t care what University charges
as long they put a football team on the field and play the players

Sorry for my rant also
Lol

Re: College Debt. ….
 

There are three entities responsible for college debt.





The students who borrow the money, especially those who borrow money to take classes which have absolutely ZERO career value.And have zero intention of ever getting a career capable of paying off the debt that they VOLUNTARILY incur.



The universities, who, slobbering for government guaranteed money, offer useless classes at exorbitant prices, and pay ludicrous salaries for professors who offer zero value in preparing students for life and a career.


The government, which, with tax payer dollars, created a self perpetuating and self increasing market for utterly useless "education", and one of the highest inflation rates in any segment of the market, with the lowest return on investment.


The people who will pay for all of this are the hardest working middle and lower classes who can least afford it.


This entire debacle is another example of massive expansion of the federal government and the attending overreach.There will be those who will attempt to deflect, and cry "well, what about ______?" naming any number of other government programs. Of course, that is all that they have, as they cannot discuss or dispute this subject, they can only deflect.




But hey, since they want to bring it up, here's one massive difference. Those government bailouts did apparently manage to keep thousands, if not millions, gainfully employed, off of the government dole, contributing to the economy, and even creating government revenue. Paying off debt, for useless degrees, is just more "free money", which will do absolutely nothing positive for the economy. And, to be clear, they're just giving away "free money" that they don't actually have, that they'll print, and/or borrow, and then rob working people to "pay it back". And of note, they're doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to resolve the actual problem. They're going to continue to guarantee loans for ever increasing amounts, for ever more useless degrees, resulting in this exact same problem, that they will demand that we throw money at again. And again. There's not one bit of "reform" of any type in this violation of the Constitution by unauthorized executive fiat. Nor is their the slightest intention to enact any. The politicians will get richer, the "faculty" will get richer, the university management will get richer, the graduates will get dumber, and the rest of us will be more broke.
