It is highly doubtful that more education equates with a better nation. Suppose we educated a generation of Hitlers?

As government guaranteed college loans have proliferated, tuition costs have increased at rates far greater than that of the GNP. Colleges & universities have loved it.

And with those increases, we have seen colleges offer degrees in highly dubious fields of study. The Cheech & Chong skit about multi-degreed college graduates making candles, has become today's reality.

So where will we get those teachers, social workers & other helping professionals? Try the free market with those services provided in the traditional venue of the free market and where those intangible services were originally provided, God's kingdom, religious bodies. In man's kingdom, they become tarnished with materialism.

Biden's reapplied student loan forgiveness is still an abuse of power. Add that to the growing list of impeachment articles against Biden.

I'm a little thick, so someone out there needs to explain to me how this is different from using my tax dollars to buy votes for Brandon.

How about teaching them responsibility and living up to their promises?

You make a promise to repay a loan - then you need to do so.

I can honestly say that my education was paid for by yours truly. When I was in graduate school, I took out a loan, paid for everything and nobody gave it to me. When I came up short, my parents helped me. Over the years, I helped my family when they needed it. I am not married and I guess it kind of pans out. I had a family member who attended an expensive art school. He only attended one year. The only thing he did was smoked pot, attended class high as a kite and screwed off. That was one year of a free vacation. To this day, he can’t work a job and he is his parent’s worst nightmare. This will be a generation that will probably have to stop another Hitler. They will be morally weak and will not have the mental capacity to preserve their nation. We can thank our Federal Government and our schools for producing these little bastards. You guys get the picture. It is not their fault it is somebody else’s fault. SAD!

Horrors! People in public service are being given a break on their student loans. I am all for giving people a break who serve us.

Nope - people agreed to the loan - they should pay it back.

Of course, people such as you do not have the honor to stand by their word.

I paid my college loans off even though the Army said they'd pay them when I joined. I was just doing what my Bible told me. And I feel good about it. Instead of trying to buy votes with freebies, the government should do something about how outrageously high the cost of college is. This program only encourages colleges to raise costs.

That's the problem with liberals,they don't look at the underlying causes and correct them.

Doing the right thing very often does not 'feel good' - and often entails hard work.

The correct way is to cut cost of loans for college is to cut the cost of college. The amount of money to attend college is disproportionately high. Social Science degree from Brown would cost $50,000.00 or more for a job that would pay $30,000.00 a year. Doesn’t sound to smart to me. How can anyone pay loans back and try to live on what’s left?
