MAGA voters accept this because they never went to college.

I really hate how many people resent the idea of any kind of student loan forgiveness.

Billionaires set up vast financial systems for the sole purpose of dodging taxes. No bid contracts get handed out like candy to politically connected scumbags. An obscene amount of money gets dumped into insurance companies that only make your healthcare worse. Giant corporations violate laws and rob both workers and customers, and if anything is done at all it will be a tiny fine that's smaller than the profit from their crimes.

All those things that actually harm the rest of us? No big deal. But you suggest that maybe it's a bad idea to keep generations ensnared in crippling debt? THAT'S A FUCKING OUTRAGE!

I mean obviously it wouldn't be fair to have a policy that directly benefits some people but not others. Why should student loan borrowers get special treatment? Sure, I'll fucking riot if anyone touches my tax credits for having kids and a mortgage, but that's different, that's good for society... unlike education. Besides, it's not my fault your generation don't buy houses and start families. Oh don't bitch to me about how you can't afford it, maybe you shouldn't have taken those loans out then...

I’m sure this will help the economy

I’m sorry but I saw this coming when repayment was paused and then a ton of people said “I’m just never going to pay, what are they going to do?”

Obviously they will garnish wages. It’s like saying the sky is blue. No shit Sherlock.

Keep paying until you have a note in hand saying there is no debt (either until you’ve paid or the government has said the debt is 100% forgiven) . Just because one administration says we are working to take care of your debt means nothing. The next administration might reverse that. So keep paying until you have a legal document in hand saying the debt is forgiven/has fully been payed.

Gonna be a whole lot of Americans that hate America moving forward.

The Student Loan Crisis is a growing national security threat, and it's getting worse, and NOBODY is talking about it from that perspective.

The current cost of a college education is the result of ruthless predatory practices by both colleges and loan companies. When the Federal Government made it easier for students to get loans, allowing more young Americans to get college degrees and get a better start in life, colleges exploited the opportunity by jacking their prices up, knowing that kids could get these enormous loans, with exorbitant interest rates, without the financial life experience to understand the onerous burden it would place upon their ENTIRE lives.

Now we have young people delaying the most fundamental stages in life, because they simply can't afford it. People are not getting married, because they either don't want to combine two large student loan debt loads, or they don't want to take on a new spouse's debt when they don't have debt themselves.

And if people aren't getting married, they aren't buying houses, furniture, cars, having babies, vacations, etc., all fundamental drivers of the economy. Many aren't even moving out of the family home they grew up in, not only because they can't afford it, but because the economy on general is so bad that their family can't afford to lose another household income, so they're happy to keep them at home.

This is already a crisis, and it grows larger every year, with each graduating class. How long before the steadily rising problem reaches critical mass, and crashes the entire economy? Because that's the easily predicted outcome of this current strategy to ignore the growing crisis, and deliberately making it infinitely worse.
