One of the "desires" of the culture is forgiveness of student debt.
Perhaps I'm too much of an old fart. But consider, if these debts are forgiven, then the burden falls onto the tax payers. What happens when these individuals get a home loan they can't pay????? Is the tax payer responsible? Car loans? Tax payer burden?? Credit cards? Tax payer??
Where does the responsibility fall? Just a radical idea, perhaps the responsibility should fall on the debtor who signed on the loan.
One day, there won't be any tax payers...................then everyone has nothing.......look back into the USSR economy and living conditions.
When my wife and I graduated from college we had a substantial debt. We got jobs, paid off the student debt, then bought a home........still in debt. But we have carved out debt down to a mortgage and a credit card. All managable.
Yeah, we are responsible for OUR debt. We are not looking for a third person to handle our responsibility.
