If America does not fix the student loan issue,this country will be last in almost every specialized field.

The system is breaking because there are too many college graduates who should have opted for trade school or the army in the first place.

Student Loan high interest and penalties are a stealth MIDDLE CLASS TAX.

@Chunes3 Your right! Today's society is damn sure different! The word "Cant" has been permanently ingrained in them! Again! You took out the damn loan, You pay it back and quit looking for a handout you friggen loser.

@le238man My father's generation could afford to pay for an entire year at university, INCLUDING ROOM AND BOARD (!!!) with only a summer job! Give me a break! The situation these days is totally different.

If you were stupid enough to get into debt for an increasingly worthless certification then maybe you ought to suffer a little. If we forgive all your debts, then that totally disses people like me who didn't attend university because we saw it clearly for the worthless debt trap it is.

Are you kidding me? Forgive student loans. I would like my mortgage forgave and still walk off with the property and if I only had to pay the interest on both properties at 10% that would be $180.00 per month, and if I could do that I wouldn't be driving a 15year old car, I could take that much needed vacation. If I have to pay my loans then so should everyone else. I don't think the rest of America should be punished because someone else took out a student loan.

I already struggled through my years and paid my loans.

If students get debt forgiveness can I get my money back too?

If not, then I will fight against this. It is totally unfair.

[SuperBlobsterMan]

Screw that !

I worked and payed my 30 grand in student loans. I drove an old car and lived in a small apartment for the first 7 years after school.

Will the government give me a refund on the loans I payed ! Not fair ! Not fair !

[ThePatriotMuckraker]

No "job-ie", no "pay-ie."

Until the government jails the bankster's & brings back those 11 million jobs that have been lost in the last decade, end the fed, end the money junkie system of compound interest, then student will gladly pay their loans. Until then, they are not obligated to pay shit.

[le238man]

Ahh yes! The me generation! Take out a loan and be shocked they have to pay it back! Now they expect the responsible people to pay it back! Whats wrong with giving up your social life for awile and working as needed to honor your obligations? No one owes you shit! Get your damn soccer moms to pay it! Not us!

Actually the student loans should be made directly with China. Cut out the middle man, the U.S. government, from taking it's cut.
