publican Supreme Court more concerned with the profits of banks charging 8%interest on government guaranteed student loans oh, what a surprise. I don't want to ever hear any more conservative whining about student loan forgiveness until the banks are exposed to the actual risks of loaning money for a return of 8%. They risk nothing but whine about forgiveness because they think free rides are only for the richest 1% of the populatiom. It's like they are mad that someone besides themselves is benefiting from government larfess when it all should be reserved for the greediest 1% of the population. Students getting educatiobs benefits our society; look at employment web sites and notice the demand for RNs and other trained medical professionals.

8% is a pretty good rate for a student loan. A 30 fixed home mortgage is 7%. I was paying 9.5% on my student loans in around 1980.

And what about all those COVID-era loans to businesses, often owned by millionaires as well as some members of Congress, many of them Republicans, which were totally forgiven? Why was it OK to forgive those loans, but not student loans? And much of what Biden was doing wasn't actually forgiving the loans as it was to modify the repayment schedules and to reduce the interest being paid. And very few people got all of their loan forgiven, there were limits as to how much of the balance due was reduced. The problem for most of the people on the Right was that the students affected by this didn't look like themselves or their kids. Too much melanin...

You were paying 8% on a $2,000 loan that you could discharge in bankruptcy.
Now it's $60,000 and no matter what happens, it stays with you. Welcome to Modern Student Loans.

Minimum wage was 1.35.

My wife & I bought our 1st house in 1978 and our fixed mortgage rate was 10%. Gas prices tripled early on with the Arab Oil Embargo from $0.30/gal to over a buck. Do that same math on today's prices. The 70's were a rough decade economically.

OK Visitor, good luck when you go to the hosoital and there are no nurses or doctors because young people are deciding that higher education isn't worth the cost after you figure in student loan interest. Other modern nations offer free college; they will lead the world of the future; not countries like the U.S. that are too cheap to educate the population. And when you go to the hospitals it will be people educated in their home country providing care to the cheapskate gringos.

Minimum wage was actually 3.10 in 1980.

Yout mortgage isn't guaranteed by the Federal Government and if you can'y pay it can be discharged in bankruptcy.

If you can't pay for your tuition from your earnings after graduation, you should reconsider your major, your college or your career choice. A Doctor or Nurse should have no trouble making their student loan payments. I know someone that just graduated nursing school and paid off her student loan with her hiring bonus. So it can be done.
Countries with "free college" are only free public universities with a limited number of positions and a tough entrance exam.
Kamala claims to have worked her way through school and she only had to work part of one summer at McDonald's. If she can, you can. Just try not be burdened by what has been.

Well, there is some discrepancy because McDonald's has no record of her ever working there. But I'm willing to take Kamala at her word that she worked her way through college.

Oh, ffs.
The moron thinks Corporate is the same as Franchisees.
It's like calling Hallmark Corporate to ask about a worker in the neighborhood card shop.
The staffer's fault was going public with the claim before they understood the issue.

But that doesn't make any sense. How can anyone do well in the Biden/Harris economy? I thought we were all doomed because the country is collapsing around us and there are no jobs and everything costs a fortune so there is no money left to pay bills?
Haz you trumptards been lying to us?

Donner, allow me to turn #19 around and say if Bidenomics is working and the Biden/Harris economy is so great, then why can't graduates pay for their own tuition?

Even though they would pay for yours. Yup. If there is a hell you are definitely headed there.
