This issue has been talked about for awhile now. Seems the liberals want to forgive student loans, I think. I haven't paid much attention to this but just thought more about it today. My take has always been that it's just another liberal gimmick to try to muster up votes. Now I know college tuitions have gotten absurd. When I was at UCLA the expense didn't seem to be too bad. I was out of the military and drawing my Vet education money. I could afford it and I didn't get much from my benefits, also worked part time. Couldn't afford much of a car and definitly had to rent with friends to afford decent housing. Had just enough to party regularly, But I never considered a student loan. I think tuition may have been a couple thousand per year. Now a days they're paying $20-$30,000
My main reason for this post is to say why should student loans be forgiven? They're adults, believe it or not and they took out a loan and spent it on an education. They received what they paid for. Should the government forgive my mortgage? just because? I understand that many of these young adults are in debt $100000 and more from the years in college. Get a job and pay it back. Or don't go to college if it's too expensive. How about go join the military and earn some benefits for school etc.
