President Biden has announced his plan to cancel certain student loan debt, and even though it’s a very limited program, it has ignited yet another debate about personal responsibility.

If you worked your way through school, and had to spend time selling encyclopedias between classes lugging the volumes uphill both ways, you are probably against any forgiveness. A deadbeat is a deadbeat.

So my education was basically a gift, which means I have no business criticizing someone who was forced to take a loan. That part of the story hasn’t gotten much attention. But there is a study, published by the project on Predatory Student lending at Harvard – which says that the government actually was stopping the scammers from collecting on government loans, until January 20th 2017. When the oversight suddenly stopped.

Only among those with short memories. I've been alive for 33 years. The gov consistently has $$ for useless wars, to bail out banks & other major corporations and can even forgive PPP loans. In the mid 1960s College and public universities were tuition free. Way to go Boomers

President Biden announces student loan forgivenessPres. Biden announces plan to cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt for Americans making less than $125,000, and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. First, the U.S. Gov should not be incentivizing college with attractive loan offers, thus artificially raising the price. Second, regulate private loans to eliminate compound interest: I hope congress can throw this out? Thats fucking ridiculous. I rather universal healthcare or something more productive then canceling student debt. They chose to go to college, sick people didn't choose to be sick. Use your fancy degree and get a job geez. Pell Grants is free money. Makes no sense.

This doesn't apply to me, I don't have any student loans. But he did campaign on this and it's only right that he does it. Infuriating!
