Why is working for the government more noble than producing something pay for with their own money? Only an opposition party led by incompetents could fail to make an issue of this scam.

[Jack Hammer]

In other words: bill the taxpayer.

Again.

[FreedomStar3028]

It’s just another ploy for people to WANT TO WORK FOR GOVERNMENT! All this does is destroy the private sector.

[Pietro]

So if you become an obama bureaucrat you can have me pay off your student debt?

Afterall, why not? I'm paying your salary, your pension & your non-obmacare health insurance.

Perfect.

[knarf]

Google him ... the lefty wants a free ride.

[grania]

Amazing. It seems like a majority of stable jobs that pay well and provide benefits are in the public sector. To that they want to add student loan forgiveness?

[Red Badger]

Government workers (an obvious oxymoron) who have student loans outstanding should be docked 10% of their salary until it’s paid back.........

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Of the 16.7 trillion dollar debt, almost 1 trillion is in student loans.

[GeronL]

Student loans should not come from government

and indentured servitude went out of favor centuries ago

[AtlasStalled]

Oh, yes! Because government and public sector workers don’t already make enough in combined salary, benefits and pension packages with their guaranteed job security.

“It’s enabling me to do the work that I love,” said Mr. Wala, who graduated in 2010.

. . . of course the taxpayers must subsidize the work that Mr. Wala loves!

I talked to a guy this morning in this program. He’s a psychologist working with (deeply disturbed) poor kids. His $50,000 debt will be forgiven if he works in this program 10 years. But his job is with a private contractor who works for the state. But apparently his low pay (due to this benefit) makes it public service. Color me confused how somebody working on the cheap for a private contractor is performing public service.

[Doogle]

he’s got to keep those voters...

[workerbee]

Mr. Wala hasn’t calculated exactly how much the forgiveness program will save him, but he expects it could be many thousands of dollars. “I definitely am looking at it as something that will have to happen, if I want to maintain a stable lifestyle,” he said.

Words fail me.

[Vigilanteman]

There is the ruling class and there is the peasants. You are a peasant. The ruling class takes care of their own. Now, shut up and pay your taxes. Any more questions?

"Why is working for the government more noble than producing something pay for with their own money?"

The KEY phrase is "producing something", which government workers do not do....they live off taxpayers, and their mission is to keep living off taxpayers, finding NEW and INCREASED taxes they can implement.

Student Loans, in ALL forms, belong to the benefitted person who used the money for THEMSELVES, and Taxpayers are gonna pay the debts (soon, there will be Amnesty on Student Loans, mark my words).

Socialism/Communism has the goal of having EVERYONE working "for the Common Good", which means the Elite of the Party will decide who gets what, and who pays to make sure we all "share".

Freaking marxist bastards!

[AppyPappy]

Public service jobs tend to pay less. I took a 25% pay cut to work for the government. The benefits just made it better.

[Mike Darancette]

international human rights organization,

Why is paying American citizens' tax money to foreign organizations beneficial?

[Political Junkie Too]

Next, they'll want you to pay for their "dachas" in Maui.
