Exactly the problem is the government backed student loans. Normal business would never be competitive or customer driven if ran the same way.

No, this is all about the age old practice of indentured servitude.

Hey, that's how England got Australia settled.

They might be forgiven, but odds are the forgiven amount will be taxable, then they’ll get a nice tax bill. And those they won’t forgive.

What government can “forgive” depends on what President Bernie, President Ellison, or President Hillary get away with eight years from now. President Trump has to (1) change facts on the ground so that they have no opportunity to make that big a jump (and similarly no opportunity to grant citizenship to a swarm of illegals), and (2) change the public mood so that voters recognize the cost to our children of the massive federal debt and are unwilling to impose more debt on our children just because it seems like a nice thing to do for people who were reckless with their own spending.

Why? The snowflakes have plenty of money for “smartphones”, to donate to Planned Parenthood, to donate to the Muzzie run “ACLU”, to donate to the DNC, for “spring break”. “What the....?”

"Half of college students believe their student loans will be forgiven after graduation"

Half of them are right.

Our son attended some of the premier universities in the
world, including Oxford. By the time he got to Oxford, we
were about tapped out & he took on responsibility for his
college education.

He came out of it with a monster debt. I told him that
paying it off would be like eating an elephant - ONE BITE
AT A TIME. . but that paying his debts was the only
honorable thing to do.

Ever hear of the Dhimmocratic party?

Ya think they will EVER get back into power some day? (I do!)

Then—these kids are right.
Tough toenails for those who pay the bills.

I think they should sue their schools to get their money back. Make it a class action.

Non-profits caused this.
Some of OFA groups did this as part of their recruiting.
Now that the $$$ and DOJ protection is gone, so has the free education.

OUR Education SYSTEM is Antiquated !!!!!!

... rather than a mountain of college debt, why don’t we treat it like a small business loan. Essentially a student loan is financing someone’s future employment. This principle could be applied to inner city youth — set up a super skill training corp, teach them plumbing, wiring, etc and couple it with an inspiring “own your own business” component and loan these “students” money for the training and initial business start up. Loan pay back payments would be treated as a business expense and would offset dollar for dollar against revenue.
