If i cant get student debt forgiven, i will absolutely take having my Mom's student debt forgiven. I still see it as a win.
She’s still going to be paying for it
OMG, people caring about other people's well being?!

That shits just a lottery ticket
@@nobot6177bro thinks we care 💀
@nobot6177 Donald Trump got 6 lots of debt forgiveness. It's called bankruptcy. There's no bankruptcy for this debt. Republicans stopped those reforms.
What they really need to do is take a hard look at how much college costs and make them justify how inflated it is compared to what it used to be.
The thing is, you can't. It's a private business. They can charge whatever they want. They'll always set tuition to maximize their profit based on what people can pay. The more subsidies the government provides the more they charge so the problem never gets fixed. The only solution is people being unwilling to pay and taking another route in life. The real problem is teaching everyone that the only option is to go to college.
Only way for that to happen is education is completely funded by government and then they negotiate the price… otherwise no solution to that
College costs so much because of government guaranteed student loans.
@@JohnLeeCaskeyAnd when society collapses because 30% of the population that would have been in upper class and middle class careers like teaching, finance, healthcare, management, STEM, etc. are now flooding the lower class blue collar jobs? This same stupid argument has been made of agrarians for over 100 years and it becomes more absurd every year. You can't make the majority of the population farmers and expect the quality of life to maintain itself. Same as how you can't make the majority of the population blue collar workers and expect the quality of life to maintain itself.
@@JohnLeeCaskey It's a private business... That the government inflated by allowing any 18 y/o with a pulse get 5-6 digits in debt to attend. Thus raising the price. Imagine how much nicer the world would be if the govt didn't turn everything they touch to shit.
but yaaa big govt, right?
Crazy idea: instead of debating whether or not we should be forgiving student loan debt, why don't we debate making colleges lower tuition so people don't have to take out loans to attend college in the first place. Just a thought.
Lots of ideas, most of them suck.
How about NO government guaranteed student loans. All loans are dischargeable in bankruptcy? It used to be that 9% of men & 8% of women had degrees. That sounds about right to me. Most people who work have NO need for a degree in political science or English.
If it wasn't expected to go to uni to have a good career, that would cause costs to PLUMMET as less students go to uni.
@@australiananarchist480 Yes, if there was no government guarantee the school would need to PROVE that going to their university pays. (at least for most of the students)
@@aCycloneSteve Even then, many professions are artificially university dependent. E.g. Law. For a very long time, anyone, degree or no degree, could take and pass the bar if they knew their shit (still the case in a couple states, 5 iirc) but nowadays a law degree is required in most states.
Whether you have a degree or not is irrelevant to whether you can do the job of a lawyer well. Frankly if you can pass the bar you should be able to practice law, it doesn't matter where you learned it.
“Making colleges pay for tuition” just, like, magically? You know government subsidizes loans are the precise reason tuition is so high, right?
I almost couldn’t go to school because I didn’t have a co-signer. I went to a state school I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Psych and I make 50k but have to pay 850 a month for my student loan payments. I am 80k in debt and at this point I wish I didn’t go. Some days I go hungry because I’m living paycheck to paycheck
I hope things get better for you dude, wishing you better days (also I'm going to definitely do some research when signing up for college, I didn't know cosigning was a thing)

This is a legislation for colleges to benefit colleges not middle class lower class students. The real solution is more affordable college. Bust the monopoly that is Pearson

Will still never understand how student loans are legally allowed to have interest. Should also be price caps so people don’t ever get charged these amounts again in the first place.
Because other wise no one would give out loans
Just make it dischargeable through bankruptcy. Solves literally _every_ problem with the modern education scam.
Can't have that, though. Colleges will have to be more intelligent with their spending and charging.

@@gorgeousfreeman1318 I am with you there, I think 80% of college degrees are scams designed to make people take on exorbitant loans to create many generations of indentured servants
Forgiving student loans wouldnt effect tax payers at all...
I don’t understand why college can’t just be free like other countries. Or why can’t it be cheap. Or why can’t I get paid to go to school so I’m not fucking my life over.
Because people with money want to keep making as much money as possible. If college was free they wouldn't be able to claw every cent from kids who don't know better than get $50,000+ of student loans.
College is generally free in countries that have extreme entry requirements (ie, completed highschool with top marks).
In America, anyone can go to college at anytime (with a sufficiently high entrance exam) but we have to pay for it.
In other words, free college is a narrow pipeline. Paid college is a river that people can jump into at any point in the their life.

What you are saying is to get rid of interest
Who will want to loan you money if they dont benefit from it? I certainly wont invest my retirement plan into a company that doesnt make a profit.
Actually the department of education has the ability. It's literally in their power.
It’s almost like allowing student loans to be voided under bankruptcy would solve all these issues rather than put a bandaid on it

@@stansman5461what is the point here exactly? If you take on debt to go on a vacation across the world then go bankrupt the collector can't undo that vacation
@@Jack-sq6xb yes, but debt for vacations isn't a blanket cheque. The bank will discuss collateral and have a right to decide if you're worth the risk. They'll also be able to calculate the risk of bankruptcy.
Can't do that with student loans. Banks aren't being allowed to pick and choose student loans. Because they'd definitely loan to a doctor or lawyer and not someone studying french art history. But apparently, that's discriminatory and everyone should be equally able to follow their dreams, no matter how useless.
@@stansman5461 the loans being forgiven aren't from the bank, they're from the government which is based on information from the fafsa. Further, when someone goes bankrupt, other things than just collateral can be repossessed in compension. Its common sense that debt is annuled in bankruptcy
Everyone arguing over their perspectives but no one cares about why the education debts are soo shameful. University and college way over charge
I almost went to the cheapest uni in my state. Tuition and fees was $6,000. A 75 sqft shared dorm was $16,000 and there was also about a $1,100 fee for meals. The dorms had no kitchen or appliances. They also had a rule that freshmans had to live on dorm campuses even if they were from the same town. Absolute highway robbery.

Why not just make college free/much less expensive? Like in most western countrys?
Why doesn’t Biden change how student loans are issued in the future? People who’ve signed their contracts have already signed them… but changing the system so no kid had to sign up for predatory loans would basically solve this in 20 years.
Ban student loans. Then college would get cheap quickly.
Fr, people are acting like college became so expensive independently of the introduction of federal student loans… as you can imagine once nearly unlimited federal student loans were implemented, colleges started charging 87k/year
Yea, but it will also stop millions of student from getting a quality education because they cannot afford it.
@@riptyurass302 it would also force colleges to lower tuition and board prices significantly, causing more students to be able to access college, just maybe not right at the age of 18. you would then effectively be able to work a part time job and afford college once again
For those exact reasons, they will never ban student loans. I doubt the federal government can outright ban private loan either since the argument will be centered around limiting access to higher education

While I don’t want to assume your age, the average student debt of today’s college grads far exceeds the amount of college grads from 30 years ago. However, despite the increase in tuition, wages have not increased in a manner proportional to that increase. We are not in the same economic situation as before.
“ a yo, you can’t do that “ lol
Forgiving student loans doesn’t mean shit if they don’t also make college and trade school free so that we don’t just end up doing this shit again later
What do you mean "make college and trade school free". lol
Everything has a cost. You mean free to the consumer? Great, enjoy even higher taxes to subsidize it. Making it "free" just means you're making everyone pay for the decision to attend one; instead of allowing the individual who made the decision responsible for it.
I hope this is not the only student loan forgiveness going on
It is the younger generation that is most negatively effected by this debt
It’s not anyones fault but their own they took out that debt. As a member of the younger generation I say let them drown. It’s not my fault they made the bad decision of taking it out without being able to pay it back, so why put it on the one who actually got a job to pay it back???

Something I think would be fair is to put a cap on how much interest a loan can accrue. It is insane to me how some people have to pay more than twice the amount they borrowed in interest. Somewhere around 150% of the amount borrowed should be like a hard cap, and even then that seems excessive. Maybe this shouldn't apply to ALL loans, but at least for student loans, where some people get buried in debt before they can start working.
Why not cut federal funding to universities forcing them to compete on an open market?
@@MMDelta9That doesnt really solve the loan issue unless that somehow makes colleges cheap enough that people dont need loans (which I hoghly doubt). Also I don't think that would work anyway. Prestigious colleges can easily get away with costing more due to their name (like brand name items) so I doubt it would actually lower prices. In fact, it may increase prices of some colleges instead.
@@theduckyninja1086 Loans are only an issue because the government was pushing them. Tuition costs ran out of control because of subsidies and these loans. Think about it-
You're offering a high demand service with a relatively low overhead cost. To maximize the value of your service, you need as many buyers as you can get. But keeping your service costs low, more people can buy from you.
But that incentive to keep costs low is obliterated if you know the federal government will use tax payer money to cover most of your clients expenses and the banks are going to hand out high interest, no credit needed loans like TikTaks, ensuring you have a customer base regardless of the quality of your service or the price you're charging.
That's what education is and why the costs have run away on us.
Over a third of your tuition fees will pay for infrastructure, sports, staffers (from professors to janitors), marketing, tenured positions, administration (including useless HR positions), student experience....
How much fat could be trimmed there? Don't believe me?
My post secondary education cost me less than $10k cause it was run out of a 2 story office building rented out for half a dozen different trade courses. I was already employed in my field of study before even finishing the 2 year course.
Branding for education only really matters as far as networking is concerned. Most college grads are simply not going to need the prestige of a college like Harvard or Yale, and it's worth noting that prestige only exists *because those schools are charging people out the nose.*
Treat the colleges like any other business. Starve them out and you will see prices come down out of necessity.

They should allow student loans to be discharged automatically when people go through bankruptcy process.

If you were going to do that college would go up exponentially. Just like a house if you go bankrupt from your debt then you don’t get a college degree it automatically gets revoked.

You can’t forgive debt. You can only transfer it.
Real question, not being facetious. What’s your thoughts on interest? At extremely high rates? Even now if we talk about inflation all the data shows that a large part of price hikes (let’s say groceries for example) are not supply chain demand etc. but profits instead. Profits that are not being passed down to employees.
Also the way the US now treats/views monopolies has changed. Sure, you can charge whatever you want for power if you’re the only company supplying electricity to an area, but at a certain point it becomes unsustainable and eventually cripples society.
Also. As a side bar. Why is it so much more expensive to be poor in this country? People rent for more money monthly than it would just cost for them to get a mortgage but they can’t. They’ll have higher interest rates on almost anything. You can’t even keep money in your bank account without getting charged. If someone has under a certain amount in their account they will be charged. I get that “it’s not a charity” mentality but does that actually make sense? Banks do have other forms of income, so it’s not just that.
@@aval5098 it’s hard to answer your question without a chapter long explanation on how and what inflation is. But let me give you a real quick answer.
Anyone who tells you that profits are causing inflation are either lying to you our are completely ignorant of basic economics. It simply is not true.
As to why being poor is so expensive in the US that is easier to answer.
People who live on less than 2 dollars a day, or whatever you use to define poverty, simply have much less stuff. Have you noticed how a large part of the homeless have phones or even TVs. They all eat every day and can afford drugs in a lot of examples. The poverty in the US is not the same as poverty in countries where people actually starve.
@@aval5098 so I saw another comment by you. I said that inflation was caused by profit and greed.
Does this mean that before the inflation you believe that corporations were not greedy?
As a mortgage officer, I want to point out--that's 800,000 people in their 30s and 40s who can now afford to buy a house. A car. Go back to school. Save for retirement. This is good for EVERYBODY.
How?
Assuming the average cost of a US home (little more than 500k these days), you're going to need a 150k down payment to buy a house.
If you've got a job that's allowing you to pull together 150k for a house, *how are you struggling to make student loan payments?*
And won't Thanos snapping 39 billion from the economy only drive interest rates *up?*
So won't that increase mortgage rates, meaning people who managed to buy a home *before* the student loan forgiveness ponzi scheme went into effect end up having to foreclose?
No it's not 😂

Loans and debt don't magically disappear.
@uni4rm Honestly, I could see a program where A student debt is forgiven after a 150% of the principal has been paid. There is literally no benefit to society to keeping a class of college educated debt slaves. The fucking lenders still make money.

just do it how they do in the UK. That's honestly one of the only great things we have here to be honest, the student loan debt, you only have to start paying it off once you're making enough money and it only makes up a very small portion of your expenses.

oh biden had a big hand in the mess we're in today.
"In 1978, Biden supported the Middle Income Student Assistance Act, which eliminated income restrictions on federal loans to expand eligibility to all students. Biden helped write a separate bill that year blocking students from seeking bankruptcy protections on those loans after graduation. (The income restrictions on federal loans were reinstated in 1981.) Then he went on to vote to create the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students, or PLUS, program in 1980 and the Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students, or ALAS, program in 1981, which extended loan eligibility to students with no parental financial support."
so biden was basically those guys in The Big Short who wanted to give anyone with a pulse a loan to buy a home. seems like a really kind thing to do, everyone needs a home, but in reality giving everyone who asks a ton of debt without confirming their ability to pay back that debt is a good way to build a Trillion dollars worth of unpayable debt which will likely cause a economic depression.
“I don’t think you should be paying for my son [Hunter] going to Yale Law School. I don’t think you should be paying for my daughter [Ashley] to go to the University of Pennsylvania,” he said at a campaign stop in New Hampshire, according to a Washington Post reporter. “I do think we should make it more affordable to attend school.” The reporter clarified in a follow-up tweet that Biden was specifically referring to loan forgiveness and not the related debate about tuition-free college.

Bold of you to think Biden could put that many words together to make a sentence
College didn’t cost as much back then as it does today. It’s a partial win and couldn’t be happier for those people but those who are currently coming out of college like myself that are balancing a job (if you have one), living expenses, food, and bills can be extremely underwhelming. Employers are putting out help wanted flyers and available positions online just to not hire anybody.
Well yeah that's because the minimum wage stayed stagnant for years while the cost of living went up and up and up. You used to be able to pay for yale with a 7.50 an hour job; that certainly is not the case anymore. Also there's been a stronger and stronger emphasis about how important college is even though that couldn't be further from the truth. We need more affordable education(free would be ideal but that wouldn't happen in the USA) and less of an emphasis on the "fact" that you can't get a good job with just a high school diploma or GED and you need some sort of college diploma on top of it to get a good job.
I don't understand why so many democrats regard student loan forgiveness as some victory.
The people that were responsible with their institution and degree choice aren't the ones needing this loan. To quote another comment on this video: "...The bill is essentially meant to take money from responsible people and give it to irresponsible people..."

Soooo people who didn't go to college have to pay for the people who decided to go to college.
your tax dollars do not fund federal spending, they are used to curb inflation by reducing money supply. the federal government pays for its own spending by printing money (yes, really.) google modern monetary theory to learn more about how this works at a systemic level and its implications if you like, but the long and short of it is that with only a few exceptions (like social security) your taxes have nothing to do with paying for anything, they're just how the government tries to control inflation caused by its own activity. if all government spending was paid for through taxes, then any budget increases would directly affect the tax rate on a per-year basis, but as you can see from US tax law, they don't.

@@drshlotzkin they can't purchase a car or home. the stats on kids moving back in with their parents have skyrocketed. there are so many articles written on why home ownership is on the rapid decline and how the reduced purchasing has allowed huge banks and corporate landlords to buy huge swaths of homes and just sit on em until they appreciate in value or can be rented out. as for cars, leasing and rental has steadily been gaining over ownership financing, and the average age of a car on the road is increasing as well because people are stretching old jalopies as far as they can go, even if there are safety problems. the upside of this is that more people are commuting to work via carpool or bus so I guess that slightly reduces emissions, but that's the wrong way to go about it. also, how can you say "$50k in loans" like it's nothing? i'm pretty sure that's the median gross income for a college grad in the US, so that's income pre-tax and pre-living expenses, and let's not forget these loans all have interest! with living costs rising while wages stay stagnant, the problem with only get worse. only people getting jobs in extremely lucrative fields are able to pay their loans back, and there are only so many of those jobs to go around. we can't have the whole generation all go be programmers, the glut of labor supply would drive wages down and just recreate the same problem.
@@drewbabe first of all, he never said 50k in loans was nothing. Secondly, get out of the cities. I bought my first home at 23, you can do it.
