Oh, shut up, Patty.....you are part of the reason.
Not even in Socialist countries do the taxpayers foot the bill for college students. These people have gone MAD!
Since at least 1958, the American people have been gung-ho on federal aid to “education”. They know not what they want.
Federal student loans loans led to the high costs of college.
Eliminate the federal loans, and look how fast administrative and useless programs get eliminated.
I seem to recall that Pocahantas’ base salary at Harvard was something like $370K/yr, and that’s before her speaking fees, book deals, and consulting gigs kick in.
I also seem to recall that Graham Spanier (the president of Penn State during the Sandusky Boy Lollipop scandal) was pulling down around $600K/yr, plus all kinds of sweet bennies.
All this while they rail about income inequality and the nastiness of corporations and capitalism.
Pay your damned loan. No discharge in bankruptcy!!. I paid for every damned dime of my two degrees!! I owe these people NOTHING!!
Runup to yet another economy-crushing gaffe.
If Obama wanted deliberately to destroy the American economy, he could’t possibly be doing a better job of it.
“Student Loans. The 2014 election year Bailout. I figure around Oct 5th.”
Can someone explain to me, after I spent so much more putting them through school than was spent on me (YES, INCLUDING INFLATION), and then going into debt,borrowing money from the taxpayers (i.e., me) and THEN getting it “forgiven”...not by me, but FOR me...why these f%T^$% are so stupid?
Maybe they shouldn’t have chosen to take the loans.
‘Crushing college costs hurt students, entire economy’
Government is not and will not be the solution.
I’m sorry, no one put a gun to their heads to force them to take out these loans. Now Patty Murray and the other bleeding hearts want to shield them from the consequences of their actions by making lower and middle class taxpayers bail them out? Bad optics here.
Who pushed student loans?
I would like to return to a society where people didnt need a college degree for every dang calling in life. But I think everybody here has heard that rant.

I agree. Pass a federal law requiring the reduction of professor salaries by 50%, requiring professors to work minimum 40 hour weeks (clocking in & out), outlawing paying any ex-politicians (not a full professor) to teach any course, paying invuited speakers only transportation, room and meals (only if they claim poverty and so sign), require colleges to live up to the same standards as commercial colleges regarding job attainment percentages, and make colleges give a detailed cost breakdown up front before the student signs up.
