    The government should get out of the business of providing unlimited loan money for schools.

    If it wants to subsidize post-secondary - it needs to do that directly and not incentivize administrative bloat by giving students unlimited money.

      Remember, this is for federal student loans.

      How long before those who signed up for private loans line up at the trough, singing "ME TOOOOO!"?

          I think it's an awesome idea.

          In fact, I think they should pay students to go to college over the next 4 years, and give their parents free beer for raising such upstanding citizens.

          Sod you lot!

          I was only joking

            I might use some sod on my lot in the places where I just can't get the seed to grow. But it might be too late in the year to find sod at Lowes.

                  I’m fine with just making it dischargeable in bankruptcy like (almost) any other debt.

                  And dial back the subsidies. Make the lenders more responsible and that will vastly improve the incentive structure for students and universities.

                    You can thank the democrats for forcing the private sector out of the student loan business and then fucking it all up in the first place.

                            I rather suspect that cancelling student debt will prove to be eerily similar to replacing Obamacare and Mexico paying for the fabled wall.

                                    Wait until we hear Biden say it.

                                    What we have now is a Warren plan from the summer and a commissioned opinion that it would be within the law.

                                      No doubt he will delay. The provision allegedly to cancel comes from the Higher Education Act of...Wait for it....1964.
