I'm all for people paying off their school debt. College is pricey and has been for a while...

Hate me if you want to, but at the end of the day, this $10k is paid out of the taxpayer's pocket. I pay taxes. How about me not having to pay someone else's school debt? Our current president made that decision for me, screw him for that. I really feel like that the adults should take responsibility for the things they do in life, including taking out massive loans...

Interesting, thanks for your opinion on this matter.

I stated my opinion, I do not like socialism and things that resemble it. Forgiving school debt reeks of socialism to me. You are free to have any opinion you like even if I don't agree with it.

I had no intention of starting a fight, but your language is clearly becoming hostile for no good reason. This is the point where I disengage. Have a nice day!

Debt forgiveness and debt jubilees are as old as the concept of debt itself, and are in many cases religiously proscribed. All of these things predate capitalism AND socialism by thousands or tens of thousands of years. This is America, your right to your opinion is about the only one you've really got, but your qualms here are with something greater than the predominant economic modes of the last few centuries.

For the moment at least I, and I like to think most others, would like this space to be about their specific situations and how they relate to new information coming out of the EO though, so please take the debate to US CE. Once things settle down a bit we can ask ourselves if we want this to become some kind of debt forgiveness discussion space.
