Some of her friends that paid nothing because of caring parents dropped out or spent to much time partying and got a degree in crap. Because it did not mean anything to them if they failed was no consequences of not paying back any loans. I do understand things can happen illness and pregnancy can screw up kids plans to get a degree and find a good job.
My kids won't have student loan debt. I'm certainly not insisting they even go to college the ways schools are going these days, but if they do go, it will be debt free.
I worked my butt off to rid my life of debt and because of how I'm handling money and teaching them, my hope is that they'll never touch debt in their lives.

Yep. I was even stupid enough to keep paying mine through the pandemic.

Food shortage. Baby formula shortage. Nurse shortage. Trucker shortage. Border crisis. And this is the focus?
Anyone wanna convince me they aren’t trying to intentionally destroy America?

My sons last day of high school was Thursday. He starts college in July for engineering technology. Let’s just say we aren’t exactly eligible for any scholarships, pell grants or subsidized loans. My wife and I both went to college and have good jobs. Our son was a good student earning both a technical and honors diploma but is still like 80th in his class. His SATs scores were good but not exceptional. So now we are a middle class family living in small-medium sized community with your average 18 year old white male entering a career tract dominated by other average white males. In a nutshell college is on us or rather on him. He will end up borrowing money. I don’t want to see loan forgiveness but $10k would help him quite a bit.
If they want to help students, not artificially inflate the cost of college why not think this through. Instead of loan forgiveness why not make affordable low interest loans available to everyone. Maybe subsidize those loans so they don’t incur interest until after graduation. Maybe protect students from the predatory practices being conducted by lenders. My mailbox is full of private, unsecured loan applications.
I told my son that Mom and I would pay for 8 semesters tuition at Purdue. He is on his own for room and board, or study abroad or any other costs. If he decides to kick ass and finish early that saves him money. If he wants to take a semester off for an internship that is fine. Move into an apartment with friends or stay in the dorms is his decision. We felt it best he be vested in his decision making. But since he has the disadvantage of having parents who are married and both working he is not eligible for some of the assistance we received.

Honestly, with the Biden regime, I have to chalk it up to pure incompetence. They have ****ed up every single thing they've done so far.
That said, if they WERE trying to destroy America, I don't think they would be doing much differently.
Promising checks swung the 2020 election. Now they're going to offer student loan gibs to swing 2022.
This is Democratic playbook up and down the party, from street level to national. Just buy votes!

Because they have the money but want stuff given to them.

And even if they arent trying to destroy America per se... It could be a quick short sighted money grab for them to get them and theirs enough to line their nests for the rest of their lives, damn everyone else. "if it falls it falls. By that time I'll be dead and everyone else can worry about it. "
Tell the students, that $10,000 is gonna cost them $60,000 because that's the way the government works.
So, if they can't pay of $10k, they're going to love paying off 60k, for the rest of their lives because of the OTHER student loans they will be paying off.
