Congress is using repayment of student debt to finance the gold plated federal retirement system. They can’t forgive student debt without cancelling the retirement system or raising taxes. They didn’t raise taxes to fund government retirement because few taxpayers have a fixed benefit retirement. Incidentally, this is why judges are forbidden to forgive student debt in bankruptcy. Government is a parasite sucking the life from students.

And they want to increase taxes to pay for it.

“expensive car”

Once the Democrats gain absolute power, the supply of vote-buying goodies will shrink.

Democrats getting free stuff need to split their votes and keep at least one-third of the federal government Republican controlled.

No. Plus this new tax will cut into your 401(k) or other investments.

Pretty much a slap at everyone who did what the terms of the loan said. Pay it back.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As I heard on one of the radio talk shows, if the Democrats get their way with forgiving student loans and free tuition for everyone, those who paid their loans and those who paid for their sons and daughters college should ask for reparations. Lets see what the Democrats have to say about that! Fair is fair, right???

I want to pay ‘stay at home Moms’ full back wages going back 40 years.

And pay off any debt Americans have on American cars bought within the last 5 years.

And charge it all to George Soros....

AND I'd like to give $10,000 each to people living in flyover... since they've been ignored for so long...

WE CAN BUY VOTES TOO!

They'll have to, don't expect the media to ask any sensible follow-ups to lunatic policies.

This isn’t fair to all those students who paid for their college tuition.

And Sanders think the USA can have free college for everyone. How would that be possible? You have Asians who post high scores on their SATS who can’t get in.

I propose Bernie reimburses me for all the tuition I paid for myself and our kids.

I think the government only got INTO the loan business, as a scheme by 0bama, to lead us to this “free college” theme, down the road. Now we are seeing it.
