Never having had a job in business, Biden teaches ethics.

Well, mine was paid for. I got scholarships, Vietnam Veteran waivers, VA benefits, waived tuition, and even took out a student loan in my last year of graduate school to buy a new car and stereo. So thanks to someone for paying for my education. If you're old enough, you helped pay.
Everyone has a different situation. But something has to be wrong with the system that lets people run up hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans with a slim chance of repaying them. That needs to be stopped, and the people suckered into that situation need relief.

Yes there is something wrong with the system. We let people borrow too much money and they are so foolish that they do it. That's not my problem. If you can't afford a car don't buy one. If you can't afford a house don't buy one. If you can't afford to pay for college don't go. See how simple that is. Why should anyone else pay because someone was stupid and now doesn't want to pay back what they owe?
It would be like saying that we are going to forgive all mortgages. Would you be in favor of that? Because there is no difference. Many people borrow too much on a house also, and then they end up in foreclosure and or bankruptcy. No difference.

They are very different. At least now, mortgage applications and approvals are based on income and ability to pay and if not sufficient downpayment, then extra in PMI. Education loans are not granted on ability to repay.

Why should I pay for someone else's debt? This is typical leftist BS thinking. By extension you assume liability then move to pass on the responsibility to settle it to someone else. Moreover, I would like to see the stats you used to arrive at the conclusion you cited in the first sentence.

Bull. It depends upon the degree you've received. My daughter is repaying her $225k load $2k/month...and she is still saving money and able to purchase a new car (3 yrs ago).

Of course students don’t have resources to pay the loan. But you must be conveniently forgetting they borrowed that loan money to go to college to learn something that would give them the resources to pay back the loan. If they learned nothing, have no knowledge or skill sets that is their fault. Why should I as a taxpayer foot the bill for them if they are stuck on Stupid?

And whose fault was that? Explain how they were lied to. They took the money but apparently did not fulfill their part of the bargain, to learn and get a job. Plenty of jobs out there. Everyone is hiring. Easy Peasy. Get job-Pay back loan. All it takes is honesty and ethics, two commodities missing from you on the Left.

Mortgages are not entirely approved based on ability to pay. That used to be the case, and people used to have to put at least 10 percent down, but that is no longer the case.
Look at the number of foreclosures happening in the U.S. No way all of those people had the ability to pay.
Anyone who takes any loan without being aware of the conditions of the loan it is their problem. There is no reason that people who have taken care of their money and been responsible financially should have to pay for bailing out the unresponsible. That is just plain wrong.

Yep. I remember paying $2.89 for ethanol-free gas when President TRUMP was in office. Today I paid $5.89 for my boat and small engines. Biden did that in less than 18 months. Just imagine where it will be in another 30 months.
