Protesting for their Right....to Free Stuff: Student Loan Defaulters at SCOTUS
I'm wondering if that's not Trigglypuff in the front, toward the right side. |

I think there may be a little relief for them, as they do inherit $31.6T in federal debt, along with state, county and city debt, most which did not benefit them.
But the biden plan is BS, done only for votes, has no rationale, from a loser who has no authority to do so. The bigger concern NEEDS TO BE investigating ALL of the universites and colleges that overcharge and rip-off these naive ignoramuses. Who in the hell thought getting a $300K bachelor's degree in women's studies would pay the bills in life. |

By the looks of that group, maybe cut back on a few cheeseburgers and pay your bills.

I can easily see how every single individual in that picture does NOT look like a significant contributor to society. Quite certain there is not a single hard science major in that group at all. Social media was a complete failure to give a voice to complete failures.

It's not entirely their fault - college has become a huge money-grabbing scam.
However, instead of (or in addition to) forgiving student loan debt the government needs to address the root causes behind why tuition has risen so ridiculously high in the first place. |

I agree with this, and furthermore, I'm profoundly against the FAFSA BS. What happened to merit-based scholarships? The fact that my wife and I make a lot of money, and can "afford" to spend a quarter million to send GWiz to GT, doesn't mean we didn't deserve scholarships for her hard-earned achievements. Again, we reward the failures, and not the winners. I'm thrilled that we finished college without a penny of debt, but it was still $200k+ cold hard cash. If everyone else is getting debt removed, can I have my 200 grand back?

I have known the solution for quite awhile. Have the colleges themselves use their own money to fund/administer loans for their own schools.
If they want to be a business, then go ahead and compete. The schools actually providing value will survive. Those that don't will figure out real quick which majors default and claim bankruptcy the most and adjust accordingly. |

**** em... I don't get to walk away from a car or home loan and keep my shit.
Why should their stupidity or lack of desire to pay the money back mean the rest of us have to foot the bill. Here's an idea... Somebody should teach the stupid fuks what borrowing money means. |

This is the main argument against student debt forgiveness - that "forgiveness" is coming directly from the successful people who paid off their own student loans (or paid cash for their tuition).

Only thing a judge should need to know is if that's their signature on the document.

Schools are at fault for the tuition explosion
.gov is at fault for guaranteeing the loans to any moron with a pulse, whether they have a prayer of repaying it or not. Students are at fault for not realizing $200k in debt is tough to pay off with $40k salary. You know who isn't at fault? Those that paid their ****ing bills, or recognized that it was sucker's deal. Lost in all this talk is what will happen if we wake up tomorrow and this debt is "erased" For the love of god, look at inflation now. Look at the shortages we have now. And then these morons will be flush with cash (credit) and we know instant gratification is what they are good at. We're ****ed. |
