You understood that you would owe the money when you signed on the dotted line. I paid my student loans off, so can they.

For those of us who paid them off, this is wrong in so many ways. The colleges in this country used to have standards in who they let in. Now they are used car salesmen promising jobs that don't exist for their degrees, to people who will never actually be able to do the course and finish it, and just saying sign here, your gonna be rich. The schools need to pay some of this price, for enrolling people for degrees that they have zero chance of getting. My daughter went to IT school, it worked out great for her, she was top of her class, got a job right out of school, and now works for a school district. But out of the 17 kids in her class, maybe 3-4 had a prayer of actually doing IT work, the rest just owe 34K on their loan now.

I used G.I. Bill for my BSc, and paid cash for my MBA. I agree that the loans should be repaid, but perhaps set the interest rates at a very low percentage for loans where the student graduates from a public university. If you went to a private school or a corporate owned school, you're on your own.
In the future, all public university education should be free.

I would never willingly say that an institution of higher learning should be "free". You think education is suffering now? (It is.) Wait until the liibs in charge of colleges start running diploma mills-because that is what will happen.
A degree won't be worth the paper it is printed on. There ultimately will be no real educational standards, just pressure to the schools to get more to graduate so they can collect TAX PAYER funds-because after all, tax paying folks are the ones that "tote the T-notes"-as we have no money to pay for anything...
Free? Not hardly. No way. This country is so broke, so financially unsound we can't even pay attention. We need to cut back, not expand the debt, make the hard decisions. If someone wants some schooling-great. Get out and pay for it, don't expect it to be on MY dime.

MSgt Bobby Gene if it’s free, more excuses not to work for four years taking a spot someone who actually wants to learn should have in my old warped mind

This is all about guaranteeing more democrat voters, nothing more. "We'll give you a free pass on your loans and instead make the taxpayers pay for it. In return, vote for us."

I'm a Democrat and I think that 'forgiving' student loans is fundamentally flawed, pandering to a very small percentage (12%) of Americans. Why should all Americans who pay taxes pay the debts of a few?
Though, I gotta say, it makes me uneasy to agree with you on this basic principle. You, of course, put it in ugly and hateful partisan terms. If, somehow, you think that those 'democrats' that you hate so much are going to vote any differently because of this, your logic is flawed. LOL, if they've got a college education, they're probably Democrats already.

PFC David Tomlinson - I don't think it's flawed at all, Dave. I think it's buying votes, plain and simple. If the republicans proposed this, I'd still say it was trying to buy votes.
