What are your thoughts on student loan forgivness?

I guess the thing is that if someone loans you money, you should pay it back. It's only fair, right? That's the purpose of a mortgage, for example.

There are people who had to go into bankruptcy, who lost their farm, their home, their life savings to satisfy an indebtedness when there was no other way out.

The thought of Biden forgiving the student loans of a college kids that may have spent spring break getting plastered on a Florida beach rather than waiting tables or stocking shelves at a grocery store is beyond belief. The thought of Biden spending money that the US doesn't have, that has to be borrowed from China or manufactured by inflation is a testimony to the disconnect that Washington has with sanity.

@Heartlander The idea of people being bankrupted for a medical debt would be unthinkable in a civilised country. the idea of people being denied available health care because they are poor is criminal. Educating your own citizens is an investement in the nations future. Not an excuse to bleed them. America is a really backward country. And thats without the courst, the laws and the political system. Intelligent people really ought to move someplace else. You know each citizen is ultimately going to get stuck with over $70,000 in debt as their share of the deficit. You want that for your kids? After they have paid off their student loans?

Well, in the US here you can always count on us to do the right thing; but not until we've exhausted every other possibility :)
