This might surprise you but many billionaires are actually kinda smart.
But yes, forgiving the student loans does nothing to address the problem, just move the cost from the irresponsible to the responsible.
Tuition continues to rise, probably at a much higher rate in this scenario
I know scientists with Pulitzer nominations that struggle with basic life skills. Changing tires, paying the electric bill, buying a television or a home.
guessing 99.9% of self made billionaires, such as Cuban, are very smart.
Public policy is what we are talking about, not building a tech enterprise
If anything else we should have learned in the past 10 years it is, business smarts does not necessarily translate to public policy smart
Donald Trump is definitely very smart --- what is your point ?
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
More than likely these are asset backed loans and since the pipelines are profitable the bank would assume the asset and wither sell it to another company or absorb it into their operations. The cleanup will always be paid for because the end profit exceeds costs.

oh, so tweets are law.
The "socialist overlord" I assume yu are referring to is one of 438 in the House. After that another 100 decide. Then the 538 refine / tweek then one is left to sign.
I think college should be free to those that qualify by need. No deflection here
Forgiving college loans is only sensible . Some would say humane.
College debt is what $3-4 trillion ?
Me thinks that money could be put to better use transferred inside of the marketplace
Again, I think education as well as health care are (or should be considered) rights available/accessible to everyone

Why do you do this? I didn't say it was a law. I said her idea is bad like all her other ones and I very much hope it doesn't become law
How can something be a right if it requires the money and/or labor of someone else?
Why is forgiving student debt sensible? Why not forgive all mortgages? (I bet you think housing is a right, don't you?)
Why not forgive credit card debt?
I got a better one .. why not cancel all taxes? Think of all the money that would open up in the market

The Saudi royal family has literally helped fund Al Qaeda.
This is the debate no one wants to have but needs to be had.
Saudi accountability is long overdue.

the system of "paying for it" is the 800 lb gorilla in the corner
In light of the recent scandal highlighting who gets and who doesnt gets and on what terms --- the writer seems to have a spec of dust in is eye.
This past week people here opined on how useless and inefficient college has become. Then we learned this week that advancement based on education and the status attached in our society is pretty much a straight line from where you live and who you know to whether you get a seat at the table
The boot straps in this case is a college loan.
Wonder how Eric,Don Jr and Ivanka are paying back their college loans
It was revealed in the Michael Cohen testimony tat one of his tasks was to bury Donald Trumps high school and college transcripts.
Wonder what they say
Wonder how Donald got into Penn ?
Wharton School of Business ?
Becasue for all of his PR brilliance, he did run a gambling casino into the ground --- house money
Memory serves he made a bruh ha ha over Obama's records --- as if to say he was illegitimately educated.
Asking that question on its own is very telling (Lyin' Ted-- Crooked Hillary comes to mind)
So lets get back to the mill stone of college loans .
Who needs them ?
Why ?
And what world do they walk into with that massive debt ?
At 21-22 years of age with some indebted up to $200K.
Research who did and didnt get GI Loans after WWII and the repercussions

Wilbur Ross needs to retire his ass to some quiet place before he keels over in mid-mumble.
81 is too damn old to be running the Commerce Dept. And fwiw, 70 is too old to be President.

I’m not weighing in on the larger issue, but I’m seeing a lot of talk suggesting that it’s irresponsible to have student loan debt.
While there are always exceptions, as sturg apparently is, in my experience the most obvious difference between people with significant student loan debt and those without is family wealth.
Or bad decisions to go to an expensive school and get essentially a worthless degree.
