you'd think you wouldn't have to explain this to intelligent people....

the folks with student loans got the degree(product) presumably or some education, room and board...., now they decided they don't want to pay for it despite promising to pay for it....they should have to give back all or part of the degree(I don't think they can return the food and housing they consumed) if they don't want to pay for it....

student loan payments have been paused for more than two years....and will continue to be paused till December....and they can't pay their student loans in brandon's fabulous economy?

Wrongly accused. Show me where I fit in to your narrative, please.

they should have to give back all or part of the degree(I don't think they can return the food and housing they consumed) if they don't want to pay for it....

student loan payments have been paused for more than two years....and will continue to be paused till December....and they cab't pay their student loans in brandon's fabulous economy?
Again, YOU have wrongly represented ME in your political narrative, and your gross generalizations are showing your lack of insight for your argument.

No, Scott. You are wrong. You, again, used a generalization about a specific group into which I would be a member of; people who took out student loans. Period. Done. You can't change that. You made the statement. Have the balls to stand by it, even amend it. But don't insult me for pointing out a response to your statement.

I cannot believe Scott has any issue with people who took out student loans, my wife and I both did. And I don't have an issue with anyone taking advantage of this program if they are eligible. Personally, I have issues with people who have felt entitled to this and advocated for it.

how would that be wayne?...is this going to be permanent for loans going forward into the future? are all future college students going to be able to count on brandon knocking 10 grand off their total? do the kids that continued to pay their loans during the time the loans were not being repaid over the last few years get a refund for being responsible?

Every loan, not just college loans, is a burden, right?

Why college loans? Why not make us help other people with other kinds of loans?

People who make 250k a year need our help to pay off student loan debt? Schools with massive endowments need our help to stay flush with cash?

I don't get it. I get where pro-abortion people are coming from, I get where anti-gun people are coming from...this issue might be the stupidest idea in 100 years.

Schools with massive endowments need our help to stay flush with cash?some endowments require schools to only use the funds for certain things - like prof. salaries or maintenance of buildings or funding of labs so the $ can't be used how ever the school wants.

All loans are a burden.

We do give mortg. interest deductions. Only benefits some and not others like renters.

We also used to at least, give student loan interest deductions. This isn't that. Not even close.
