    Agree. Many kids just take a 4 year vacation from the real world. Others acquire an otherwise useful degree, but end up being one in a stack of 100 applications for a job in their field.

    In either case, if you borrowed the money, you pay it back. Sadly, a degree cannot be repossessed.

    The proposed bill actually makes it possible to not pay anything.

    What do you plan to do if a recipient isn't working, my little cunty. Take their payment out of thin air?

    There are various programs already that forgive student debt. They usually revolve around working as a teacher/doctor in a depressed area for a certain number of years.

    Where's your proof you did either of those? You keep making claims. You don't back them up because you can't. You can't have evidence to support something that didn't happen.

    Yes! You are so great and with a vision like yours- we should bronze you and make a statue out of you for all to see and admire for generations to come!

    College and any other schooling should be free...……...PERIOD.

    Just another way for the rich, white and wealthy to oppress people.

    These are from 2017, but I think they're still accurate.
    Anything that has "liberal" in front of it.

    It's how ignorant racist white men are. They think a liberal arts degree is literal.

    Someone brought up the example of "basket weaving", but that was never a major at either of the two Universities I attended. It was probably an elective, sure, but wouldn't basket weaving technically be a "trade"? They probably offer it as a major in trade schools.

    ^ Poor pitiful me. The reason I flunked out of h.s. is because racist white males didn't give me free college.
