My student loan was a Government guaranteed lone! I had no choice but to pay it back! The loan must be simple bank loan and not a federally guaranteed / insured student loan. As all federally guaranteed student loans have a limit on the interest! You would not be placed in a situation where the principle would not be part of each payment! Unless you just didn't adhere to the structured payment plan! With my medical issues all I needed to do is call the loan holder/carrier and be honest with them, and they lowered the payments and spread them out for me! And with a federal grant you don't have to pay even a portion of it back!

Maybe as a non-American I can help mediate between you guys here. To conservatives: While it is true that taking a student loan is voluntary, there is also an entire industry whose sole purpose is to get as many people to take as high loans as possible. This has been going on for decades, and every single college student today has been practically brainwashed since they were a child that going to the "best"(i.e. most expensive) college is necessary if you don't want to live in poverty the rest of your life. No one should be blamed for trusting the people meant to guide them growing up, and no society should sit idly by while unscrupulous bankers and college proffesionals rip off the next generations. You may object that some people can see through the scam, but if we're really honest with ourselves; how many of those people can claim the merit of that in themselves? Most people who don't go to college are those who don't have the skills required to take a higher education in the first place, and the rest are mostly people who, by an happy accident, grew up with someone who could advise them against listening to the banking propaganda. It's easy to act smug in hindsight when you see those you envied growing up because they went to college get thrown into the street by the same college afterwards, but a society of every man for himself will never last. United we stand, divided we fall; and so on. To liberals: "Student loan forgiveness" is a slogan, most likely one that has cost hundreds of thousands in marketing to develop. What it actually means, is taking more money from everyone and handing it to the same people who are currently ripping students off. If you think anyone in Washington is going to tell their banker pals that they can forget about all the billions of dollars they have riding on the student loan industry, then you'd better start facing reality. Nothing will be passed in congress that hurts the billionaire con-artists that hurt you. It would take nothing short of a revolution to make the politicians force the banks to sign off their loans. Most likely the government will simply print out the difference and hand it to the banks, who will happily continue their scamming in the future, while the dollar is inflated in proportion to their profits. This would give the college students some relief, but then keep in mind that that relief is at the expense of the working class who (for the most part) couldn't go to college at all. A disgruntled proletariat, working the jobs no one really wants to do, being forced to bail out "the social elite" can be an explosive thing. A poor man only has his pride, and an oppressed working class has always been the fodder for rising demagogues. And this is the class most republicans belong to, they are not all the wealthy 1% after all. Of course, this problem would easily be solved if there was a specific tax on the richest classes made to pay for the forgiveness, but we all know that will not happen; and besides there is still the problem of enriching predators at the cost of honest people. In short, try to have some empathy for the people you are arguing with. College students are, after all, a privileged class, and most people are going to fall lower on the social ladder than them. Making aggressive demands, even if justified, will only lead to associations to a darker past of serfs and aristocrats. Rather than talking about how college students don't get to live their best lives, shift the focus to how injust and rotten the system itself is to enrich a few billionaires at the cost of everyone else. No one will choose to stand with them as long as they can be confident you will all stand against them, rather than accepting a temporary bribe in the form of a forgiven loan.

State colleges used to have affordable tuition. Thirty-five years ago, California community colleges had a tuition rate of $5 per semester credit hour up to 12 hours, then a flat rate of $60 per semester for 12 to 18 hours. Cal State had similar tuition plans at about $49 per hour. But the GOP has spent the last half-century cutting the taxes that subsidized those rates, and now you get a lifetime of debt for wanting a better job. Amazing how cutting taxes for the rich has made our lives more expensive.

I wonder how those farmers who feel like student loans “must” be repaid….get government subsidies.

13 Republican lawmakers received a total $17.6 million in PPP loans forgiven no matter what they make and/or how wealthy they are. If you break this down its more than 20,000 per person. They didn't scream then.

In Europe we still think it's crazy that college in America costs more than 3k a year.

When I went to college in the 1960's it cost me $150 per semester (no semester hour) not including room & board which cost about $100/month so I did not have to take out student loans. I went to a state university and at the reason tuition was so low was that state universities were highly subsidized by the state and when the Republicans started trimming the state budget in the 1970's the first thing they hit was higher education and the cost of college increased exponentially. So when people my age criticize student loan forgiveness they should remember the reason they did not have huge student loans to pay: they were subsidized by the government. For them to criticize today's young people is very hypocritical.

And repent aren’t republicans either

I paid off my own student loans, twice, back in the1970s and '80s, and again in the late '90s and 2000s. However, they were not nearly as large as most today (I was at community colleges for most of it), and school loan interest rates were about 4% and you could wait 9 months to begin paying off the loan. Also, I knew I would have a decent-paying job after I graduated in 1979. It was a great time to be a woman entering a job as an electronics technician. Today, where are the jobs? The company I worked for back then shipped most jobs offshore. I would rather see a program that maybe halved the debt and/or required some public service work in exchange, or give them the option to take longer to pay it off. I really think that people should pay their debts as I did, but you gotta have a job to do that, and college didn't cost nearly as much proportionately then as it does now. It's a bit of a sticky wicket, complicated.

Farmers chose to be farmers, business owners chose to take on certain debts just like some students chose to take out loans to pay for an education that they were promised would result in a great career that would allow them to easily pay their loans. Obviously student loan debt is a big issue. With that said, along with this loan forgiveness, we need to stop putting a college education on such a high pedestal and lower tuition rates (without compromising the value of learning; i.e. stop spending so much money renovating football fields and putting money towards learning opportunities for students, hiring more professors, paying them well, etc.)

Also, in case you didn't know this, most farmers in the US are millionaires. This has been an established fact for decades now. Farmers make about 1.5% of the US population and really can't be considered "average Americans" either. Nearly half of our farmland owners don't even farm; they just make a passive income by renting their land out. And I totally agree with you that college should not be a for-profit industry, anywhere.

Then I kept going until I got the job I wanted. I also had to relocate as the town I lived were limited on opportunities I was looking for. Lots of factors go into employment aside from RACIST hiring company managers and practices. Sure we can talk about all of wealth one race don't have vs another, but you can't overlook the factors of the why! Facts: Asians make up 7.2% of U.S population. There unemployment rate is 2.8 whereas, whites is 3.2 making up 61% of the U.S population. So why the disparity; why more middle class of Asians vs. Whites? Could it be the culture of the race of people? What about the upbringing or two parent home situation. How did they overcome the alleged racist workforce of white America? www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2018/07/12/income-inequality-in-the-u-s-is-rising-most-rapidly-among-asians/

You're funny, so 7 out of more than 500 Trump businesses declared bankruptcy, that's very good batter average. And those were chapter 11 where the business can survive with reorganization. Trump himself never declared bankruptcy. Our fake liberals' talking points always collapse under close examination.

Stop , make these overly leveraged under educated people wake up ! Enough! !

The real question is why college fees grew far, far faster than inflation. They seem to be worth less to the student than in the '70s when I graduated.

"I suffered, so it's unfair that others don't have to suffer, as well" is one of the strangest arguments to me, and it seems to be one of the most common among naysayers with student debt. Also, she brings up a good point on the cost of education being nowhere near what it used to be, much the same as trying to buy a house. A starter home in my area is, minimum, $150,000 dollars. How is one to pay that with student debt, and potentially medical bills and children?

It's an "I got mine" mindset. Same with the idea of socialised healthcare, there are those who would, for reasons unfathomable, prefer to pay MORE for their own healthcare rather than LESS for *everyone's* healthcare. Utterly selfish.

1:20 so a dude in an industry that receives 25 billion annually in subsidies, thinks no one else deserves a hand up who is struggling. One fifth of all farm income comes from government payments. SO I guess they should also end the subsidies since farmers do not have to pay them back.

Shouldn't they reconsider tuition fees rather than protesting about debts?

Unforgivable.

I am old and never went to college, I hope these people get some help to get out of debt. I am sure many wishes it was help for their debt but any help with debt at this time is help for someone and I am glad to see it.

After 16 years of a student loan and the balance has barely moved downward..there are many factors to these student loans where it takes decades in some cases to pay off due to interest charges..

Sadly, there are senior citizens still paying for student loans. My loans covered 1970-1974 and the reason they are paid is that I lived with my parents. If I had to look after myself, I would still be paying at 72. I am very pleased people are getting a bit of relief for the debt of higher education.

The problem with alot of student loans is the interest rates. My wife had a student loan & the loan was sold to other lenders that added interest making the loan increase to over 100 thousand dollars. Predatory loan rates are unfair & make it impossible to ever pay off the loan!!!!!
