What a slap in the face to those who paid their bills!

[boscobeans]

You take out a loan and eventually pay it back in 10 years or so. DONE-FINITO-FINISHED.
Let this old bag of gas pay it off for you and it will have to be paid for in the form of TAXES.
Do you think those taxes will ever be reduced?
So, you will have your tuition paid but really just be paying it off in the form of added taxes for THE REST OF YOUR TAX PAYING LIFE, along with all those who never got tuition transfer.

I guess we should continue to do something wrong to others because it was wrong before to put ppl in debt rectify both situations eliminate student debt today and pay back the others who paid for the debt. Problem solved. Ppl are blind that this is about capitalism/interest rate’s and profiting on debt. They are profiting on ppls debt

It's like handing out candy to children who failed to do their chores. Productive people figure out a way to meet their obligations.

[janmoore]

The Supreme Court has spoken! Congress holds the purse strings. Please stop this unfair and unwise expenditure. The US cannot afford to take this action. Congress please act!
