Students loan should be given to only those who manage to get a top tier unis or enrolled in a course that offers a job having at least a near six figure entry salary. Half of the courses most colleges offer are pure garbage and has no real life value.

Unless there's change in loaning system, there'll always be massive debts and folks who couldn't manage to get a good job, which constitute most of the graduates, would ask for loan forgiveness. It should only be forgiven case by case basis too.

Loan forgiveness of any kind, corporate to agriculture to education, is a bribery to buy votes.

I really disagree with free university education as going to university is always a "choice". In other words, you don't have to go...people will say that we all benefit from graduates having gone to university, but do we really? Unless they study medicine, nursing and to a lesser extent teaching and engineering, there is absolutely no benefit. If you want to get a degree then you need to be the one to pay for it (even if it takes years).

I hope Biden's decision to cancel student loan debt backfires tremendously. Working-class people aren't going to benefit because the reality is that most of them aren't in university because they can't afford *any* aspect of college life and have to work as soon as they finish high school. This is just a way to appeal to young university educated voters...it does nothing for people who truly need help and real policy change from the government.

And, he's done this when the U.S is almost certainly in a recession.

Making education more accessible for more people? Heaven forbid!

libbies believe stuff is actually free and doesn't impact others... it's like magic.

Education was once affordable, as was health care. Until politicians dug their f-----g claws in them.

Education isn't necessarily about job training, nor can the results be measured in dollars and cents. The benefits of a degree in English Literature or music are measured in something other than $$. As is a degree in basket weaving. Unfortunately, when you hang a $200,000 tuition cost on a degree in basket weaving it undermines both the value of basket weaving and our sense of economic value.

A college tuition of $15,000 breaks down to about $500 per credit hour. That's obscene. Even $250 is obscene. Anything over $100 per credit makes me scratch my head and question the how and why.

We are long, long, long overdue questioning how our education systems come up with such a ridiculously high cost.

Anyone with any sense not interested in a professional degree would be much better served going to trade school. Master plumbers and Electricians make very good money. Welders and machinists also do very well .

True.

Your children shouldn't get an education beyond bible verses.

You all are just minimum wage slaves. Not meant for greater aspirations that been long limited due to monetary reasons.

You don't have to reach your full potentials and offer your people the best you can intellectually.

All of that is nonesense. You need to keep occupying your mind with paying debt and bills, nothing else.

If you're trying to establish causality for top statement, using the second statement, then you've missed the mark by a mile.

A Biden administration agenda item, was insuring the first 2 years of college were completely free, and establishing a respectable and free, vocational school system, to replace the for-profit junk we now have. The GOP and some of the right of center Democrats said "gee, there is no money for that".

News Flash:

The federal government's student aid website crashed on Wednesday after President Biden announced $20,000 in student loan relief for Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 for other borrowers.

The site, studentaid.gov, was still down due to "high volumes of visitors" around 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Everyone wants to suck the government's tits! 🤗

According to OpenSecrets, more than $130 million has been spent lobbying on education policies since 2021 by numerous prominent colleges. The colleges may profit from a decrease in student loan defaults, and some benefits of the handout for student loans "might be captured by colleges themselves in the form of higher prices (both tuition and net)," the Wharton study stated.

Didn't look in to this one past the headline, huh?

States and fed govt used to subsidize education. This is just a diff. way. If loan vendors had not been so corrupt and incompetent the issue would be less. I know from my own experience that vendors/USDE unilaterally change conditions of loans illegally. when changed from one vendor to another they 'conveniently' lost payment records. Luckily, from a couple FOIA requests I had the data on the letterhead.

The single largest price driver is that the same colleges that get the money also serve as the qualifier and disburser of loans...MAJOR conflict of interest. Fox guarding the chicken coop. Small wonder college costs skyrocketed in multiples of the background cost of living increases.

You jealous you couldn’t go to school or what?

"... canceling student debt will signal to future borrowers that their debt will also be canceled at some point, creating a moral hazard, College students will take on as much debt as they wish, as they expect no consequences of taking it on. This too will allow colleges to continue to raise prices."

As a late dear friend told me years back…and I took his advice to heart , that being…” goin’ to ya’ school is grand, but go to a bar or gin mill -a world of true education and knowledge, ‘twill befall ‘ya!
And today it still does…and no, there is no diploma.

Many degrees are useless and students take on loans with unrealistic job expectations.Subjects such as a degree in Gender Studies are a waste of time and effort.
It is better now to take up a skill such as electrician,joinery, plumbing.A trade like these are always in demand,pay well and there is no student dept to pay back.

Seize the endowments so the uni's foot the bill. Do you have any idea the amount of tax free endowments uni's like Harvard, NYU and Stanford have?

Personally,. 73k and change annually. Allocated by a Phd. Program funded in part by my scholarship, the state of California and the federal government. Embarked on this 7 years ago as an independent. Meaning my parents no longer claimed me tax wise. Been a long road...and Ive immersed myself in much debt. But even in absence of it's government relief, I'd once again begin a long road of paying it back. Gratitude for the opportunity to pursue my dreams....much in the same way I'd support the freedom of the pursuit of yours.

I really would love to study in the USA , but without Loans and fund it all myself so I’m not In debt.

"I have no idea how any of this works, so I'll just make some stuff up to sound smug!"

College use to mean something now its just a scam

HIGH! Creepy Uncle Joe has no problem spending your money

The US is being run by lame duck president and a lame duck political party that's hell bent on clearing out the Fort Knox and the US Treasury and sending America into bankruptcy before they take the express flight to China, where they will be hailed as founding fathers and mothers of the USSA.

Here’s a bit of info re: $10k… There’s more to this article but I focused on the 10K.

The tuition increase has been an ongoing problem. It's more than a sentence problem.

What's it to you? Do you have college-age kids?

Lol

Maybe you should go back to school now
