And why wouldn’t he? Don’t tell me he doesn’t make over $125k a year side-gigging as a 3L? Tsk tsk lazy. He could learn a thing or two from some of the fb posts I’ve seen today from some serious badasses who pay their loans back and need everyone to know it…"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

Why does anyone pay tuition at Harvard anyway? They have over $40 billion in their endowment. That money should be taxed if it’s just sitting there not being spent

Would you have been ok with a lower eligibility threshold?

At least for Hahvahd undergrad, if your family's income is below $75k, there is no expected family contribution. They attend tuition-free.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

No, the problem isn’t the eligibility threshold, although that helps. A degree increases earnings throughout life, not just at a ping in time. A 3L student at Harvard doesn’t need their loans forgiven. They’ll make close to the threshold in their first coule years of working.Originally posted by Maximus View Post
I think the best solution is to allow the debt to be discharged in bankruptcy. Loans would be more difficult to get, ut that might be a good thing, and people would have a way to discharge them if they needed to."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Definitely would have a cooling effect on going to college. Not sure if that is what we want.Originally posted by Moliere View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment

But everyone benefits from said populace being educated. They don't need it...corps don't need their tax cuts etc. But we don't complain nearly as muchOriginally posted by Moliere View PostComment

I'm not sure that's the case. Right now students know (or knew before all this loan forgiveness) that student loans didn't ever go away until they paid them off. If bankruptcy were a realistic option, more students might decide they were a good option to use. I wonder how many would rack up loans with the idea of a bankruptcy when they were through with school.Originally posted by Commando View PostComment

sounds terrible for people to be educated in general subjectsOriginally posted by BigFatMeanie View PostComment

Yes, no doubt. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. People would take loans seriously and colleges would have to become more affordable. You can also increase needs based pell grants.Originally posted by Commando View Post
But again, there are affordable options to obtain just as good of an education. Putting more money to trade schools and community college would be better as well. Electricians, plumbers, and other craftsman deserve help more than history majors."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Yes, folks should be encouraged to go to trade schools. The only people that need to go to college are doctors, lawyers, and engineers... well, accountants too.Originally posted by Moliere View Post"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

We have a huge problem in higher ed right now. The cost of a college education is going way up due to the proliferation of student loan programs. Because of all this easy money, tuition is way up and colleges are hiring tons of administrators/middle managers. And people going into six-figure debt for one of the degrees BFM listed is a huge financial mistake and yet another unintended consequence of the student loan system. We need to do some fundamental things to fix this, but putting a pause on loan payments and forgiving debt is the absolute worst thing we could do.Originally posted by Maximus View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?
