  1. A family making $150,000 a year is hardly poor. I saved for my kid's college, and they worked part time. I paid for their education, and shouldn't have to pay for your kid's education.

  2. Perhaps, but did the local barista really need six years at a fancy private school, to fill coffee orders? I saved for my kids college, and they worked too. Why should I pay for some other brat to party for six or seven years, and end up with a worthless humanities degree?

  3.  @gameused881  I complained about Trump's tax cuts, while he capped SALT deductions. So, I have the right to complain about forgiving the loans for a family making $150,000 a year. Most of the people, who are going to have to pay for this program, make a lot less. This is a very regressive bribe for lazy voters with worthless degrees.

  4. All education is not equal. Sure, a degree in a STEM field holds value, but not most humanity degrees. And many colleges have to dumb down their classes, because student quality is so poor. In countries where college is paid for by the government, standards are much higher for admission, no sports scholarships are given, nor are there racial set-asides, and students must have high test scores (you know those standardized tests fools think are racist) in order to be admitted. Such colleges don't have sports teams, or Greek life. Students either study, and perform well, or they are kicked out. There are no therapy animals, rock climbing walls, or safe spaces. College there, is a time for hard work, not partying.

  5. Student loans are the reason that tuition rates have climbed higher and higher. Taxpayers picking up the tab, will only exacerbate the situation.

  6. Only the House can initiate a spending or taxation bill. The president's only power, in this regard, is signing or vetoing such a bill.

  7. @Yolanda Then why get a degree in a field that pays poorly?

  8. If you think a family, with an annual income of $150,000, is the working poor, you're really out of touch. Why should a poor shlub, making $50,000 a year, pay off those rich people's debt?

  9. Whoever advised Biden, that this was a good idea, must be fired. For every young voter, who is motivated by this obvious bribe, to do their civic duty, there will be four or five people, who never went to college, scrimped and saved to sent their own children to college, worked to pay their own way to college, or paid off their loans, who will vote Republican out of anger. This is a regressive program, that will undo the good of the Inflation Reduction Bill, and will hurt Democrats in the midterms.
