Attic fodder indeed. I'm a Democrat, but this idea seemed to be only an attempt to pander to young voters.
So do folks here think that tax breaks for the wealthy makes good economic sense?
Amen!!!!!!
I graduated with some loans to pay off and I paid them off. The year after I paid off my loans I was able to afford 2 seasons tickets to the Washington Capitols in the NHL. Can't tell you how satisfying it was to buy those tix.
The real problem is with the schools and how much tuition and fee's have been raised over inflation.
I don't agree with paying off student loans but I do think that they shouldn't have to pay interest

It makes more sense than giving free money to some kid who took five years to get through college with a major in Woman's studies. I have yet to see one hire anyone to work for them. I worked damn hard to get through college (I did not take out a loan) and I'll be darned if it makes sense to forgive college loans. No one forced them to take the loan. A contract is a contract and has been part of business since the time of Exodus in the bible.

I agree My daughters paid off their student loans!!
My wife & I both had student loans - which we paid off! When do we get reimbursed?
I am a democrat but if he fogive medical debt it's OK but not student loan. If these people can't afford to pay back their loan they wasted our money because they used the money and couldn't make any thing good out of it.

I always thought that going to college and getting a degree was so you could get a higher paying job that would provide a better life style. I don't have any problem with getting a scholarship to help lower the cost, but it is still a personal decision that you take. If you take out a loan to buy something, it should always be an investment in the future that will pay you back in the long run. It is your commitment to pay it back, not someone else's problem.

That is a question you need to ask the government who wrote the tax code. Did they have a good reason, and what is it? You shouldn't be expecting a wealthy person to not take advantage of the tax break. That is only common sense to take any break they can legally. My only criticism of the tax structure is why does it virtually exempt the bottom 50% of tax payers from any income tax? Are they not citizens of the country who should be supporting the cost of government? To have the privilege of living in the USA should have some value to every citizen.
Problem is....our government is giving away money that doesn't belong to them. Any politician who votes for giving money from the US Treasury should be prosecuted. It is stealing, plain and simple, from the American people!
