If you went to college on a student loan and paid it back how do you feel about Biden forgiving all this student debt of current students.

Poll - Total Votes: 35

It is just buying votes using tax payer dollars.

Todays students are more deserving of having their debt forgiven.

The whole government load system is responsible for running up the cost of college.

I think the U.S. should join the rest of the civilized world and provide free or very low cost college for our young people. In the past 40 years college costs have sky-rocketed.

Education is an essential investment. We must have engineers, doctors, nurses, technicians, all kinds of skilled workers. Society has to provide affordable college and job training.

FYI - Lenders charge students interest rates that are 10x what they charge banks to borrow money.

College isn't for everyone

@pdockal We should have free/low-cost job training for the electricians, plumbers, and other trades. We need to invest in our people.

@MarmeeMarch People could work their way through college 50 years ago. Not now. Since then college/university costs have skyrocketed. Now students end up with a huge ball and chain of debt it will take decades to pay off. We are in a two-tier society where only the wealthy can afford university education. Many of our bright young people have no access to college. These young people would be our future scientists, engineers, doctors and many other needed professions. This also applies to trades like plumbers and electricians.

My father was able to go to college on the G.I. Bill in the 1950's, after his army service during the Korea War. He was the first in his family to go to college. He got a degree in accounting and was able to support his family for decades afterwards. Government aid allowed him, a military veteran, to access higher education.

@badminton you’re acting like college being the only way to be successful is a reach

@badminton

Nobody forced them to go to college
My niece figured how to become a nurse without her loans being forgiven & had no help from family (she 25) and was able to have minimal debt
Unions are hiring and members have zero debt

If you can't afford college then don't go
If less students are enrolling the colleges will have to lower tuition

EVERYTHING is expensive NOT just college
Should i pay your car loan
Should i pay you rent
Should i pay your utilities

ENOUGH already

Join the military and you'll get money for college after

Go to night school and work on mcdonalds during the day
Or go to college during the day and work McDonald's @ night
@ $20/ hour you have options

I'm not their piggy bank
