  1. I choose poorly when I bought my car, I want a bailout and keep the car.

  2. I started college in 1972. Full tuition was 187.50/yr. I made $1.60/hr at a part time campus job which paid all of that and books. And then the government stepped in to "help". The more help the government gave, the higher the costs rose. Colleges fought for a limited supply of students with a limitless supply of funds by adding silly and pointless degrees, anything that would fill a seat.

  3. I do not recall being consulted on their choice of school or degree. I paid for my degree, they can pay for theirs.

  4. Cancel the interest AND the degree.

  5. You CHOSE a career path and should not be billed for others who did not.

  6. My wife paid her student loans off. She got a degree that would get her a JOB. Now we're supposed to pay for the mistakes of others?

  7. I can see society paying for what society needs. Nurses, Engineers, doctors etc. They'd have to be QALIFIED students. Society should not be burdened with the elective debts of useless degrees from party schools.

  8. Surrender that degree and abandon the credits in exchange for zero interest.

  9. Yeah, but it's just bait-and-switch, they never deliver on those stupid giveaways.

  10. They owe for a four-to-six year party at the college of their choice. They chose the school, they chose the degree and they chose to borrow for it.

  11. Colleges didn't offer those degrees until the government opened the money floodgates. Colleges then saw the pot of gold and offered anything that would get one more consumer into a seat.

Commenters are talking about the graduates with worthless degrees; don't forget the dropouts carrying loans as well. My wife is a professor who teaches 8th grade math to "college students" who have zero hope of graduating. A lot of "students" are unemployables who are living for a time on student loans because if you have a pulse, you can get a loan. I don't want the bill for this scam.
