Just hope you find what you’re looking for is all. I think we all joke around here and can be somewhat mean but I honestly hope that we can help each other in some way. Maybe trying to be better then we appear to
Non profits my arse.
Yale owns so much land, and brings in so much money. How organizations like that are a non profit is beyond me.
I don't think existing tax money should be paying off tuition. But by all means, strip them of non profit status on all of their holdings and use that towards student loans.
Meanwhile, back in reality, the younger generations are stuck with the financial problems and b*tching at them to just "get it done" and "pay for it!" isn't working.
So folks whining about someone to fix their problems (that they created) is somehow worthy of govt force? Does this include everyone that dropped out and still has debt?
Criticize away but offer some solutions or you're just a whiner, as well.
Once again, solutions are everywhere. They may not be the easiest/simplest solution though and they might require work from the individuals that owe money. Instead the solution from you and several democrats is that every tax paying citizen OWES students that have accrued debt and using force through the govt it will be repaid (at others expense.) Students were not forced into their situations but want to force their solution on the backs of everyone around them.
Make the universities accountable for the students loans, watch all the garbage degree programs disappear when they become accountable for students success. Paying off their debst while said institutions still rake in money without consequence is no different then what we did with banks (who are bigger then before to big to fail.)

We should definitely try to find ways not to spend money on wars...while at the same time vowing not to pay off student debt.
Yeah, I really don 't understand the argument that because we've wasted money on wars based on false pretenses that it means we should also all be forced to pay for a bunch of little entitled brats' so-called "education" because they were irresponsible making the choices they made (taking out huge loans that they knew would be extremely hard to pay back) and didn't bother to seriously think it thru or bother to consider their many other much less risky options available to them.
Bottom line: forcing taxpayers to pay off other people's student loans is immoral, but considering that the people who support that are also the same ones who praise socialism/communism and think free market capitalism is "evil" it shouldn't really be surprising that they hold that crazy position as well.
Keep in mind also that if these sjw snowflake types were to miraculously get their way and force taxpayers to pay off their debts all it would do is encourage them to be even more irresponsible with their other finances in the future.

Whoooops! There goes your "join the military" option! 🙂
I plan to cut it in half and then some. $350 billion a year is more than enough.
Guess what I'll invest in? Science and technology. NASA is getting a massive bump. ICE is getting dissolved. So is DHS.
You don't have to support Bernie to be against stupid short-sighted economics like yours.
So what is your proposal for solving the tuition and healthcare cost problems? Instead of b*tching about young people wanting help to pay for college, tell me your solutions. I don't like whiners from the left or right. Criticize away but offer some solutions or you're just a whiner, as well.
How is it those demanding their debts be paid off aren't whining?

Or medical institutions, who charge whatever they want while everyone blames insurance companies for high medical costs (Insurances don't set medical prices.) Universal medical care would simply be easy money for a broken system, with the the industry essentially shaking down tax payers, like they shake down insurance companies now.
