How about we cut the root and stop letting 18 year olds who can't smoke or drink take out hundreds of thousands in high interest loans for education? The price of school has inflated 400%. Highest inflation of any leading debt in this nation by a huge margin. These loans are honestly predatory and need to stop being federally backed if we are going to allow the price to be this steep.

I think because it's going to work for the Biden administration politically. The government bribing the people with the people's money is a sign that the government is failing. I don't blame people for accepting free cash. I would and I would encourage my family members to also. But I have a brother who is a welder and never went to college. I have a sister who worked through college to be debt free and it took her almost twice as long. This is bad for America culturally because it rewards bad behavior which will result in more bad behavior. It's also bad because it will keep failing politicians in power. America will one day have to handle the bill of our fiscally poor decisions. I just wonder if anyone will have the memory to know that we did it to ourselves.

I'd much rather see the people set up the loans getting in trouble for taking advantage of people. So many promises are not kept, so much pressure on inexperienced people to take on enormous debts.
The flip-side of this is that colleges have increased their costs without any market accountability - are students paying $50,000 a year now getting a 40% better education than someone who got the same degree from the same institution 15 years ago for $35K a year? Educational institutions have loaded the young with more debt because they have not suffered from demand reduction for increasing their prices.
People declare bankruptcy and take advantage of that. Why aren’t you talking about that?
@Musicienne-DAB1995
Жыл бұрын
Actually, they have taken many calls on bankruptcy, and one thing Dave Ramsey keeps reminding people is that bankruptcy won't clear student loans and won't solve the issue about *why* you got into debt in the first place. This is why he teaches paying off your debts. So he has been consistent there. (And he is also against the goverment constantly playing with its own debts by raising the debt ceiling.)
Where’s the anger for big corporations that got loans forgiven ? Millions by the way.
I'm sure everyone makes accountable and responsible decisions at 18 years of age. Also US public schools teach classes about taxes, student loans, and financial responsibility. If only...
Student loan forgiveness only covers a few thousands. It does not forgive 100% of it. The person signing on the dotted line is still responsible for it.
We need to stop conflating private loans with student loans. Student loans immediately enter into “repayment” which is essentially just ways to be forgiven. I.e public service, Save act (formerly idr). They are designed for you to not pay back. That whole system needs to be overturned yesterday.
Oh, please, George! This is such a short-sighted way to think about the student loan debt issue. Stop painting all these people as lazy and irresponsible individuals who simply want to off load their problems onto everyone else. Millions of student loan borrowers have been paying faithfully on their loans for many years, some for decades, and somehow their loan balances never go away. A system that allows this to happen is unfair and predatory. The cost of healthcare, raising cost of living, increasing tuition, inflation, wage stagnation, employers that require degrees for $15 per/hour jobs, etc. don't help the situation either. But sure, they "signed the dotted line" so $10k-$20k in debt relief is out of the question. Meanwhile, greedy rich people continue to use the system to pocket more and more resources for themselves. You and Ramsey team seem to be okay with that, though, being the fine Christians you claim to be.
I’m definitely angry about people getting help. Why do they deserve the boost up when the rest of us aren’t getting one? The prestigious college elites should be able to carry their own load.

Comparing student loan debt to consumer debt is kind of asinine.
In many cases, CHILDREN signed up for these loans. We have to stop this narrative.

The system needs to change and borrowers need to be more educated. I would like to see more support for cancellation. There are plenty of other debts to hold people to.
I need help/forgiveness/assistance with this 10.5% on my education. I did not party or drink. I did not travel.

Exactly.!
Student loan debt is not the problem; it is a *symptom* of the problem. University expansion has generated an increasingly artificial "need" for degrees, which have accordingly declined in value. Since not everyone can perform at university standard, entrance requirements have duly been watered down. Universities now have to account for the cost of remedial foundation years on degrees in order to get all students up to speed on the elements they should have learned during formal education. And this is not to mention the sports endowment frenzy or the reliance on foreign students paying higher fees. It will take a long time to unpick the true cause of this mess, and I doubt anyone in Washington wants to do it. The price to be paid for inaction, however, is the total ruin of the coming generations as they are saddled with the debts that we don't want to pay today. And to the people complaining about corporations and other businesses taking bail outs: two wrongs don't make a right.
Isn't this what bankruptcy is ??? Passing off your debt. This guys talking like this is a new way of thinking
