Sure, make inflation worse while continuing to allow colleges to peddle worthless degrees and waive people of responsibility for taking them. What could go wrong?
I bet there is not one republican who wont take advantage of the debt relief. their hands will be in that cookie jar quicker than you can say SNAP …… they are pure hypocrits!
We are done as a nation if you folks are against allowing people to carry a child they cant take care of and not allow them to get out from under the boot of student loans seems to me you are in need of a shot of compassion !
A lot of these students had a less than normal Covid Class experience. This may save our faith in the high education system and protect our standing in the world as an educated society by quelling their unease about that.
This is a ridiculous plan.. Students took out a loan as an investment in themselves. This should be called failure relief. Luckily for me my mortgage identifies as a student loan. Can I stop paying it now?
They are still going to have to pay it back, just through higher tax gouges and forcing others to spread the debt to EVERYONE! You can not get anything for free, for there is ALWAYS a cost.
The system that brought forth extreme insurmountable debt from trying to become educated is at fault. Greed and more greed. American Education system is a joke.
The problem is that knowledge is power, look at how easily the republicans were fooled by trump. If they were properly educated maybe this wouldn't happen.
Should everyone who lives in an Apartment pay off my ill conceived home loan?
Should everyone who lives on cash alone pay off my ill conceived credit card debt?
Should everyone who uses public transportation pay off my ill conceived automobile loan?
Should everyone who didn't go to college pay off my ill conceived student loan debt?
You see, the argument is just Student loans, but, that's not what the REAL argument is. Apply the same logic across the board. The difference is this delusional view that student loans are some how virtuous and all other loans are evil.
So we are effectively bailing out the colleges and universities now? Because they still got the money and tax payers are now having to borrow and pay for it. remembers folks if you're a tax payer. it's not the government's money. It's your money.
How many of you know that Joe showered with his daughter Ashley Biden when she was a child? It's in her diary which has been proven authentic. Who keeps erasing my comments?
I feel for most of my peers who have accumulated debt after saving and working while still in school before they graduated (it still wasn’t enough with tuition on the rise). I felt online school ($35K/yr) was too expensive for me and the payments were unnecessary. Learned what I needed to and started my own businesses right before my senior year. I departed with a year left of unnecessary classes. Saved myself another $35,000! Haven’t been back, but I really miss learning. I’ll go back once I decide it’s worth $35k.
The problem is the cost of college is too high. Maybe some colleges could have afforded to cancel the debt. Most charged full price even when classes were on-line during covid.
They threw money at the problems to keep from having to actually address the problems. College and Healthcare costs are too high, no one will investigate why and I'm willing to bet that now that the government is throwing money at them, the costs associated with those two sectors is only going to increase. Short term, ineffective solution to long running, widespread problems.
It seems like most of the people complaining about this debt relief for students are either people that have never went to college, or those that got $80k in student loans for a university for a career field, when they could have spent a fraction of that at a community college or trade school and learned the same stuff. Basically just people trying to throw tantrums and find reasons to blame others because of their own poor life choices.
how about us parents who took home equity lines of credits for their kids college bills, I'm 68 and still paying …now I get to pay for your kids too? something is wrong here…
In reality , most of these people are getting degrees that are becoming more and more worthless by the day , you see as supply and demand dictates the more you have of anything the less it is worth. We have more college graduates than ever before. Look hard , no one wants to discuss the elephant in the room , that the earning power of a college degree declines year after year. In about twenty , you’ll get a pat on the back and minimum wage,
so is this some kind of click bait or sis some one upload the wrong video? As you never showed us "What Michiganders really think about student loan forgiveness".
how about making these scam colleges pay and not the tax payers? how about no interest? how about a actual conversation on interest rate scams and how this "relief" will just have colleges charge more? this is what happens when you have one sided political media who dont put any pressure on subjects that go against political agendas
bandaid fix as usual instead of fixing the root problem,but of course because college is a indoctrination camp and the more kids they flood in the more indoctrinated kids come out
What happened to earn what you have? What's next credit card debt? We just keep spending an printing more till its worthless.. Fake president fake policy sold us out to foreign interests corporations and vaccine companies for the plandemic they are trying to divide us by colors and races they are erasing genders they have open borders hypocrites thieves and liars don't buy into the garbage
Oh it feels unfair? Life isn't fair. For years the actual professionals with skillsets are dwarfed by billionaire business graduates who learn basic math and gambling. 14 year old girls with tiktok and illegal onlyfans are likely making more than your entire street combined. Musicians who have neve studied an iota of music theory dominate the music industry. It is possible to sell childrens art off for millions of dollars because the people buying art often know nothing about art, therefore it only makes sense that real artists are often left by the wayside. Social media has turned basically everything into a popularity contest… It doesn't matter how much skill, talent, or planning you have… the person with more fans will likely have control over you. . Life isn't fair. Get over it people. If you guys wanna complain about this tiny thing, let's start complaining about everything else too. I don't like Biden, but it's pathetic how many people are up in arms about this, but are unwilling to stand up to how our entire economy embodies "unfair."
I joined the Army for loan forgiveness. Today, There would've been no incentive for me to join. Thanks Joe Biden. Meaning, I love the Army and I'm glad I joined. But, If Joe was president back then? I wouldn't have joined. This will also have a HUGE impact on recruitment at a time we need to be cautious of Russia and China.
Grow the hell up. When the hell has life EVER been “fair”?? It sucks that people had the experience of going broke and missing out on life because they had student debt before this year. A lot of Gen X got the crap end of the stick in life. But it’s better NOW, isn’t that what is important? Some of us chose not to go to college because we couldn’t afford it and have BS jobs because of it, but we don’t have student debt, some of us went to college and have BS jobs AND debt. We all make choices that are crap no matter how you look at it. Move on.
Most are ignorant. They know nothing. They cannot spell, do math, history they are activist who just went to hang out, party and get indoctrinated. Do you know how many took gender studies and race and ethnic studies? Where are those jobs with Biden?
Must be nice!!!!!! We all had to work for what we got. We all had to pay our debt that we ourselves accumulated. when they get that degree, do I get to use part of that degree to get a high paying job since I am helping to pay for it???? This is outrageous and The President does not have the power to spend money like this, Only Congress can decide where money is spent. I don't think this will come to fruision as it is only a ploy for the Democratic midterms.
The Democrats party is no longer the party of John Kennedy when he said "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. It's now the party of vote for me and I'll give you stuff.
Joe Biden and his Administration again are playing politics. Like last time when they proposed this program how long it lasted as well as child tax credits. Don’t be fooled by them people! Open our eyes big to see it will happen and end soon. All they want is to gain more votes for the ongoing election for the next term!
It's hilarious to see that Biden is saying that he's going to forgive student loans, when Congress has no line item in the budget for that. Only Congress can spend money. Of course we have Nancy Pelosi saying he can't do this, just like she said that President Trump couldn't build a wall with DoD funding. But it was approved by the Judicial branch. What's funny is that Nancy also said that mandatory COVID-19 injections were unlawful, and yet they were allowed. Bunch of liars…all of them.
Lol gop starts two major wars in the Middle East, trump administration sent 5k troops to protect saudi oil on our tax dollars BUT GOD FORBID if we help our own citizens???
Biden ruins country in a few short years, parents can't find food for the babies, it literally cost the average family 500 dollars more a month than it did last year at this time. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at the grocery store. But Biden thinks this is going to save his midterm chances? I don't think so. Voting republican down the line. Everything Biden touches turns to rust.
When I was younger I had no intention of going to college because I knew I couldn't afford it but now Im gonna have to pay for someone else who did… Great.
All weve heard from this administration is that our suffering is "worth it" and "necessary" and "part of an amazing transition" so why cant that include college students? Were ALL suffering here, why do college students get the golden ticket?????
Socialism. Distribution of wealth. Take from the working class and give to the higher class. Middle class becomes poorer and poorer . Elites get richer. They want us to give up our private vehicle too. World Economic Forum. Only they should have. That’s the game playing with the gas.
People that are outraged because they want to be contrarians or whatever are forgetting how predatory the higher education system in this country is. When you're in your senior year of high school, you're constantly getting bombarded by someone telling you that you need to go to college and the debt will be worth it. I remember the backlash I received from my parents, teachers, and peers when I wanted to wait awhile. There is immense pressure and these are still teenagers who are developing mentally/getting to know the real world – of course they aren't going to know any better. I became a systems analysts and I got a good job, but the amount of time and debt accumulated to achieve it makes zero sense. It's such a huge investment for not a whole lot of return.
The price you pay for living in a society is that often times we have to reach into our pockets to correct a mistake in order for everyone to move forward.
Bankruptcy law prevents economic enslavement and protects those rights which we, the people, hold as self-evident, inalienable, God-Given rights: The right to be left alone, to pursue happiness, and to enjoy the fruits of one's own labor. Bankruptcy law is Federal Law and cases are administered in Federal Courts.
Guess which debt cannot be cured with bankruptcy? Are students slaves?
this is crazy. no one complained when the bankers screwed up and got bailed out and still foreclosed on millions making them homeless. why dont we just give all our tax money to the billionaires. yeah would that make you happy?
look, i get that people being handed a free $10k are happy, but they need to remain objective enough to know that this is some majorly unfair BS that is literally theft, and its being given to college grads which have the highest average incomes which makes them the 60% of the top earners… thats 300b tax dollars stolen to pay for irresponsible peoples VOLUNTARY debt. i didn't sign up to pay your debt, you did… this sets a dangerous new precedent and it does nothing to solve the student loan issue because i can go out and get a public loan today, and the vicious cycle continues… dont even try to hit me with the childish 2 wrongs make a right "but the PPP loans" argument… its nowhere near the same and i consider both to be wrong, so there is no hypocrisy there
side note, loan forgiveness is a fancy way of saying, you can pay for this with your taxes for the rest of your life. even when your debt is payed, you can keep paying. The Gov doesnt actually have any money, all the money they spend, is our money. period.
We bail out businesses and foreign countries all day every day but when it comes to the future of the country O HELL NAW THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE SIGNING UP FUR. Get the F out of here.
Don’t fucking pretend like you give a shit about about the people who you think this is unfair to. You never cared about the people who managed to pay it off before the forgiveness plan was announced. You only care now because it’s what suits the will of your corporate masters.
Here's a wild idea WXYZ, interview unlettered plebes on the strand about formal education and its machinations 👍 you're sure to get unbiased, well-formulated opinions
I made sure I took a degree path that was worth it and paid off my loans myself and got scholarships when possible. College should NOT be a requirement for many fields.
Government hasn't done anything to stop the reckless spending by public universities, including many buying freaking mansions for their presidents to live in for free. Do something about that first before stealing from us all.
The "this is unfair" arguments are without merit. We all pay taxes. Taxes are used to pay for things like schools, roads, libraries, EMTs, police and fire departments, etc. According to the "this is unfair" logic, people who have never called 911 or been to a library shouldn't have to pay taxes. Makes perfect sense when you live in a collective society.
It's scary that republicans have managed to convince their followers that the government helping it's own people is somehow a bad thing. Many countries do this because it incentivizes higher education and skill development which will result in higher tax revenue because your workforce is more skilled and isn't saddled by debt so they spend the money they are earning, boosting the economy. Everyone wins, yet somehow it's awful?
Gretchen is a witch from hell send that racists murderer to prison, zuckerburg admitted to everything yesterday you the news outlets and fbi who helped cover up Biden’s selling secrets to our enemies will not go unpunished , for now we’ll send every illegal to democratic states you deserve much worse but God won’t let us tar and feather your lying a$$es
The Democrats are doing something that should never happen without congress voting on it. We the people have no say in the Democrats buying votes on are dime without are say-so !!!
Part of growing up is paying your debts. I personally didn’t have anyone bank roll my education nor do I want to pay anymore than I already do for others education. The only reason Brandon is doing this is for votes from the people that owe this money!! Guess what our tax money is now going to be paying for all those ridiculous degrees in things like classical this or that. Many of the things people major in are worthless yet they signed up and agreed to pay for them, oh but wait now for their vote for Brandon we the taxpayers will take that burden off of them. What happened to a real raise in social security and disability payments?? No now they are trying to tell us there is no inflation which they can then use to say since there is no inflation a raise in social security or disability for next year will not happen or they will raise it a measly.25 for the year along with raising Medicare part b costs. Pay your own student loans you signed for them you owe them not me!!
People that don't "like" don't understand it, the debt just doesn't disappear! You have to get on a payment plan and pay for a certain amount of time to qualify for "forgiveness". The more you know…lol
I definitely don’t like it. I don’t know much about these PPP payments everyone keeps talking about but i didn’t benefit from that program either; I took a year off during the heart of Covid and lived off my savings
I’m a truck driver, went to college for a semester and dropped out 25 years ago. I paid back every cent of my loan. I do not have the perks of having a college degree but now I’m forced to pay for others’ loans who decided to get their degrees? By any metric that’s incredibly unfair
Im for regulating the cost of tuition and maybe having the universities eat some of that money since their ridiculous tuition rates is what caused this crisis in the first place but redistributing these loan payments to the taxpayers is not fair to those of us that chose other paths in life. It’s just not. No hate but I don’t want to pay for your loans and I shouldn’t have to
Thank you, President Biden. This act will not increase inflation and will help boost the economy. As a college graduate who has repaid all of my student loans I am excited to hear this great news. Thank you!
And to all the right-wing fascists who lie about everything: YOU are absolutely unAmerican. Want a civil war, bring it!
Let's make the banks who said they weren't going to take PPP return all the billions they took through loopholes. Let's make the Orange Crimecicle repay all his bankruptcies and of course let's get all the money we've spent on corporate and farm bailouts
This law is unfair to students who paid off their debts imho. And also unfair to the already financially-crippled public who have to pay these taxes for it.
For the ppl that are against this for the sole reason that either they are already paid off their and they didn’t have help. Shows how selfish y’all are. Says so much really! Anyone that is against this is just ridiculous 🤦🏽♀️! As for the hypocrites in the senate n congress that are already getting blasted. We all know y’all have no shame so the least y’all could do is spare us ur BS n STFU!
Why can't government give 10k to everyone who PAYS into federal income tax. I'm not talking about anyone who files just the ones that had payroll deductions taken out all year. This seems much more fairer. Give back to those who put in.
Maybe college would be cheaper if they didn't pay coaches salaries of ten million dollars a year, or the players who already going to school for free because they can run and catch a ball.
Those people saying it's a bad policy, are not putting things into perspective. Some more MAGA propaganda talking points. Only if they realize the amount in the PPP loans their GOP politicians and corporations got, and was forgiven. They range from 5, 6, to 7 figure digits. And all was forgiven. And those politicians were supposedly millionaires. And don't forget about the tax cuts Trump gave the super wealthy people and corporations. Those loan forgiveness given to students are a drop in the bucket, compared to the tax cuts and PPP loans the rich got.
Conservatives should be happy, that money will go to capitalism instead of government. Liberals should be happy because some won't have to have it as hard as we did.
NONE of this is FREE. Debt is not forgiven and magically erased. YOUR taxes will increase and everyone will pay for it. Are people really this naive or should I say illiterate.
The colleges and universities are charging a fortune for education. Their coffers are full and they are making hugh profits on the tuition and also when signing up student loans at a higher cost than students shopping around. Get them to reduce the tuition to a reasonable amount.
For those who are against any help for student loans, I hope they turned down the PPP/COVID stimulus money they got from the US/Michigan. I mean we don't want to be hypocrites….right? wink
Interest on student debt IS A TAX on student debt. Do boomers want kids to hold up the economy with taxes on required education while the boomers got a clean break?
if only america "the greatest nation blah blah" was as good as other countries and offered people free education… and healthcare. (nb4 the usual arguments from people that believe billionaires that dont wanna pay taxes)
We're a nation of three year olds. We forgot that life isn't fair. It goes both ways. Life isn't fair, which is why you gotta take out loans for college. Life isn't fair, which is why some people's debt is forgiven. People are going to have it easier than you. If that pissed you off, you're a child.
On average, people without college degrees earn less than those with college degrees. That is why most students are willing to pay so much for that higher income. Those that are earning less on average who never attended college are now forced to subsidize those that are earning more because of their degrees. I had 40k in student loans before paying them off on Feb 2020 but still understand why middle and lower class non-graduates wouldn’t want to pay for college for others.
If Republicans in Michigan feel like student loan forgiveness isn't fair and equates to "Big Government Socialism," then maybe ask them how they feel about how farmers in Michigan took in about $4,242,000,000 in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2020. It's a free market enterprise, right? Let those farms fail if they don't want Big Government Socialism.
Unfair, no! Don't take it personal! I had to pay off my student loans and I think is great for our children who are drowning in them! Our debt was nothing compared to theirs. College is big business now and the rates are through the roof. 🤔😒
"Crisis point when it comes to student loans" is that what we call it when someone takes out a loan they know full well they won't be able to pay back because the "career" they're interested in involves a gender studies degree (unemployed)
Look, life is never fair, most people never get what they deserve, good or bad. But anything that puts money in the hands of those that need it I am for.
So is everyone against this ok with the government subsidizing farmers who grow corn just to end up as ethanol in your fuel tank? Willing to bet most people crying about this arent so worried about our tax dollars being spent on that but are some of the loudest opponents. Maybe people should stop and think how they might have benefited from other peoples money before crying they didnt get something from this.
Sure, make inflation worse while continuing to allow colleges to peddle worthless degrees and waive people of responsibility for taking them. What could go wrong?
It is official now: Democrat is a euphonism for Deadbeat.
All of the audio is left-channel only.
More pandering from the Biden administration imagine that. This guy is as lost as Nancy Pelosi’s teeth are
I bet there is not one republican who wont take advantage of the debt relief. their hands will be in that cookie jar quicker than you can say SNAP …… they are pure hypocrits!
We are done as a nation if you folks are against allowing people to carry a child they cant take care of and not allow them to get out from under the boot of student loans seems to me you are in need of a shot of compassion !
A lot of these students had a less than normal Covid Class experience. This may save our faith in the high education system and protect our standing in the world as an educated society by quelling their unease about that.
Yeah pay back all the people throughout history that missed out on covid stimulus package tf?
This is a ridiculous plan.. Students took out a loan as an investment in themselves.
This should be called failure relief.
Luckily for me my mortgage identifies as a student loan. Can I stop paying it now?
well that was a lack of information
They are still going to have to pay it back, just through higher tax gouges and forcing others to spread the debt to EVERYONE! You can not get anything for free, for there is ALWAYS a cost.
I can now move on with my life after this debt from my gender studies degree didn't turn out like I thought it would
What lead us to this crisis point? The Dems want votes
FJB!
"These kids these days get everything handed to them! I still remember the good old days when we were all in poverty and nobody gave a shit!"
The system that brought forth extreme insurmountable debt from trying to become educated is at fault. Greed and more greed.
American Education system is a joke.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

The "participation trophy" generation sure feels entitled.
Love the backlash lmfao
The problem is that knowledge is power, look at how easily the republicans were fooled by trump. If they were properly educated maybe this wouldn't happen.
Why bother curing cancer if it won't help those of us that died from cancer?
Biden keeps playing fast and loose with economics and good sense. Hurry November.
Should everyone who lives in an Apartment pay off my ill conceived home loan?
Should everyone who lives on cash alone pay off my ill conceived credit card debt?
Should everyone who uses public transportation pay off my ill conceived automobile loan?
Should everyone who didn't go to college pay off my ill conceived student loan debt?
You see, the argument is just Student loans, but, that's not what the REAL argument is. Apply the same logic across the board. The difference is this delusional view that student loans are some how virtuous and all other loans are evil.
It’ll most probably be challenged in court.
Biden doesn’t have the authority to forgive student debt.
This has to go through congress where it’ll undoubtedly fail.
What a pointless video.
So we are effectively bailing out the colleges and universities now? Because they still got the money and tax payers are now having to borrow and pay for it. remembers folks if you're a tax payer. it's not the government's money. It's your money.
That ignorant little twit…She can now move forward with her life over 10 K…What a cheap deal she is….Lol. Pathetic
How many of you know that Joe showered with his daughter Ashley Biden when she was a child? It's in her diary which has been proven authentic. Who keeps erasing my comments?
Shouldn’t we go after colleges and textbook companies?
I feel for most of my peers who have accumulated debt after saving and working while still in school before they graduated (it still wasn’t enough with tuition on the rise). I felt online school ($35K/yr) was too expensive for me and the payments were unnecessary. Learned what I needed to and started my own businesses right before my senior year. I departed with a year left of unnecessary classes. Saved myself another $35,000! Haven’t been back, but I really miss learning. I’ll go back once I decide it’s worth $35k.
If we have to pay we should get a degree too
Ironic that people who didn't go to college don't understand economics
I need the government to pay off my new ford truck I just bought for 80,000 where's my bailout at Biden.
The problem is the cost of college is too high. Maybe some colleges could have afforded to cancel the debt. Most charged full price even when classes were on-line during covid.
They threw money at the problems to keep from having to actually address the problems.
College and Healthcare costs are too high, no one will investigate why and I'm willing to bet that now that the government is throwing money at them, the costs associated with those two sectors is only going to increase.
Short term, ineffective solution to long running, widespread problems.
Thank god. Now all these sociology and drama degrees can be put to good use!
It seems like most of the people complaining about this debt relief for students are either people that have never went to college, or those that got $80k in student loans for a university for a career field, when they could have spent a fraction of that at a community college or trade school and learned the same stuff. Basically just people trying to throw tantrums and find reasons to blame others because of their own poor life choices.
they are not forgiving anything they are just transferring payment to someone who didn't take out the loan.
It’s crazy if you don’t see this as a voter grab by the democrats then I can’t help you.
Main reason WTF does this do from here on out??? Next year the year after. It’s all the same.
Out side of this putting the country further in debt. It’s fixes nothing.
Please explain
how about us parents who took home equity lines of credits for their kids college bills, I'm 68 and still paying …now I get to pay for your kids too? something is wrong here…
In reality , most of these people are getting degrees that are becoming more and more worthless by the day , you see as supply and demand dictates the more you have of anything the less it is worth. We have more college graduates than ever before. Look hard , no one wants to discuss the elephant in the room , that the earning power of a college degree declines year after year. In about twenty , you’ll get a pat on the back and minimum wage,
Imagine being forced to pay for someone else's daycare expenses, oh wait. What a great place to live.
so is this some kind of click bait or sis some one upload the wrong video? As you never showed us "What Michiganders really think about student loan forgiveness".
how about making these scam colleges pay and not the tax payers? how about no interest? how about a actual conversation on interest rate scams and how this "relief" will just have colleges charge more? this is what happens when you have one sided political media who dont put any pressure on subjects that go against political agendas
More free handout pathetic
bandaid fix as usual instead of fixing the root problem,but of course because college is a indoctrination camp and the more kids they flood in the more indoctrinated kids come out
Bullshit get a job and pay your bills
People in the comments crying about this probably still owe on their PPP loans 🤣 the other critics had their PPP loans forgiven lol…
What happened to earn what you have?
What's next credit card debt?
We just keep spending an printing more till its worthless..
Fake president fake policy sold us out to foreign interests corporations and vaccine companies for the plandemic they are trying to divide us by colors and races they are erasing genders they have open borders hypocrites thieves and liars don't buy into the garbage
Best thing this President can do for those who have pad the most for an education.
Oh it feels unfair? Life isn't fair. For years the actual professionals with skillsets are dwarfed by billionaire business graduates who learn basic math and gambling. 14 year old girls with tiktok and illegal onlyfans are likely making more than your entire street combined. Musicians who have neve studied an iota of music theory dominate the music industry. It is possible to sell childrens art off for millions of dollars because the people buying art often know nothing about art, therefore it only makes sense that real artists are often left by the wayside.

.
Life isn't fair. Get over it people. If you guys wanna complain about this tiny thing, let's start complaining about everything else too. I don't like Biden, but it's pathetic how many people are up in arms about this, but are unwilling to stand up to how our entire economy embodies "unfair."
Can my car loan
Give the US a damn raise. Your making people who never been to college pay taxes for someone else’s tuition. Unfair
17 second video stupid as fuck
my left ear really enjoyed this video
I joined the Army for loan forgiveness. Today, There would've been no incentive for me to join. Thanks Joe Biden. Meaning, I love the Army and I'm glad I joined. But, If Joe was president back then? I wouldn't have joined. This will also have a HUGE impact on recruitment at a time we need to be cautious of Russia and China.
Rewarding those who take on massive debt, punishing those who save money and pay bills.
Loan forgiveness is a fancy way of saying "transfer of debt"
Let’s Go Brandon !!! Joes Gota Go !

You maga sheep 🐑 need to wake up!!!!
it looks like a ghost is pushing her around
Biden ruins country in a few short years, parents can't find food for the babies, it literally cost the average family 500 dollars more a month than it did last year at this time. I don't know if I should laugh or cry at the grocery store. But Biden thinks this is going to save his midterm chances? I don't think so. Voting republican down the line. Everything Biden touches turns to rust.
Absolute bullshit. I shouldn’t be paying for your mistakes. Join a Union and you will make 100k a year easy.
When I was younger I had no intention of going to college because I knew I couldn't afford it but now Im gonna have to pay for someone else who did… Great.
All weve heard from this administration is that our suffering is "worth it" and "necessary" and "part of an amazing transition" so why cant that include college students? Were ALL suffering here, why do college students get the golden ticket?????
Socialism. Distribution of wealth. Take from the working class and give to the higher class. Middle class becomes poorer and poorer . Elites get richer. They want us to give up our private vehicle too. World Economic Forum. Only they should have. That’s the game playing with the gas.
People that are outraged because they want to be contrarians or whatever are forgetting how predatory the higher education system in this country is. When you're in your senior year of high school, you're constantly getting bombarded by someone telling you that you need to go to college and the debt will be worth it. I remember the backlash I received from my parents, teachers, and peers when I wanted to wait awhile. There is immense pressure and these are still teenagers who are developing mentally/getting to know the real world – of course they aren't going to know any better. I became a systems analysts and I got a good job, but the amount of time and debt accumulated to achieve it makes zero sense. It's such a huge investment for not a whole lot of return.
The price you pay for living in a society is that often times we have to reach into our pockets to correct a mistake in order for everyone to move forward.
The little freaks won this time. Now the pink hairs can pay the taxes on that money.Da.
Wow!!! What does thrilling piece of news
Bankruptcy law prevents economic enslavement and protects those rights which we, the people, hold as self-evident, inalienable, God-Given rights: The right to be left alone, to pursue happiness, and to enjoy the fruits of one's own labor. Bankruptcy law is Federal Law and cases are administered in Federal Courts.
Guess which debt cannot be cured with bankruptcy? Are students slaves?
Since when does the President have the authority to spend money without prior congress approval? (answer, he doesn't)
this is crazy. no one complained when the bankers screwed up and got bailed out and still foreclosed on millions making them homeless. why dont we just give all our tax money to the billionaires. yeah would that make you happy?
Keep that money printer going and find out what happens….
I prefer Michiganian over Michigander
Psh student loan forgiveness? What a bunch of crap. Bailing out corporations, big banks, and doing insider trading is way more important.
My reward for paying off my student loans is paying more student loans for a bunch of kunts that don't want to work. Sweet.
look, i get that people being handed a free $10k are happy, but they need to remain objective enough to know that this is some majorly unfair BS that is literally theft, and its being given to college grads which have the highest average incomes which makes them the 60% of the top earners… thats 300b tax dollars stolen to pay for irresponsible peoples VOLUNTARY debt. i didn't sign up to pay your debt, you did… this sets a dangerous new precedent and it does nothing to solve the student loan issue because i can go out and get a public loan today, and the vicious cycle continues…
dont even try to hit me with the childish 2 wrongs make a right "but the PPP loans" argument… its nowhere near the same and i consider both to be wrong, so there is no hypocrisy there
We can sit back and watch the Karen's and Darren's complain about other people's lives. 😎
side note, loan forgiveness is a fancy way of saying, you can pay for this with your taxes for the rest of your life. even when your debt is payed, you can keep paying. The Gov doesnt actually have any money, all the money they spend, is our money. period.
You won't have to look very hard, the federal government started guaranteeing student loans in 1965. I'd start there.
We will be flipping the bill for this assholes idea.Biden is such a fucking criminal.
We bail out businesses and foreign countries all day every day but when it comes to the future of the country O HELL NAW THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE SIGNING UP FUR. Get the F out of here.
This has been needed for decades and helping students who are THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IS A GOOD THING!!
Buying votes. Nothing new.
Democrats trying to buy votes…and it’s going to backfire.
Don’t fucking pretend like you give a shit about about the people who you think this is unfair to. You never cared about the people who managed to pay it off before the forgiveness plan was announced. You only care now because it’s what suits the will of your corporate masters.
Pathetic. The people who begrude someone sinking with school debt some relief are pathetic. So meager souled.
To answer the “in depth look at what caused this”
Stupid people doing stupid majors that are stupid to society.
Here's a wild idea WXYZ, interview unlettered plebes on the strand about formal education and its machinations 👍 you're sure to get unbiased, well-formulated opinions
Lets stop going to college and go online, and then lets see how the broader society feels!
The female who can move forward now what is her degree in ? How about this people with useless degrees pay 2 times as much for wasting everyone's time
College should be free. Ten thousand dollars is just a drop in the bucket. They will still have to pay tens of thousands more.
I beat cancer yesterday. If they come out with a cure now, I'M GONNA BE PISSED.
America home of over educated and under paid……
I made sure I took a degree path that was worth it and paid off my loans myself and got scholarships when possible. College should NOT be a requirement for many fields.
Government hasn't done anything to stop the reckless spending by public universities, including many buying freaking mansions for their presidents to live in for free. Do something about that first before stealing from us all.
The "this is unfair" arguments are without merit. We all pay taxes. Taxes are used to pay for things like schools, roads, libraries, EMTs, police and fire departments, etc. According to the "this is unfair" logic, people who have never called 911 or been to a library shouldn't have to pay taxes. Makes perfect sense when you live in a collective society.
It's scary that republicans have managed to convince their followers that the government helping it's own people is somehow a bad thing. Many countries do this because it incentivizes higher education and skill development which will result in higher tax revenue because your workforce is more skilled and isn't saddled by debt so they spend the money they are earning, boosting the economy. Everyone wins, yet somehow it's awful?
0:08 – I'm sick of older white males – and I'M ONE!
Biden’s action is illegal. Only Congress can do what he did.
Gretchen is a witch from hell send that racists murderer to prison, zuckerburg admitted to everything yesterday you the news outlets and fbi who helped cover up Biden’s selling secrets to our enemies will not go unpunished , for now we’ll send every illegal to democratic states you deserve much worse but God won’t let us tar and feather your lying a$$es
Free education & universal healthcare should not be a matter of partisanship… It should be, just like in most of Europe, a basic right.
I think this breaks down to: People getting the money, are happy. People who are paying for those people to get the money, are not happy.
They all gona say thanks for paying student loans off but in the next 20 yrs you gona pay the government off. Nothing for free in the home of the free
Helping the rich
The Democrats are doing something that should never happen without congress voting on it. We the people have no say in the Democrats buying votes on are dime without are say-so !!!
Part of growing up is paying your debts. I personally didn’t have anyone bank roll my education nor do I want to pay anymore than I already do for others education.
The only reason Brandon is doing this is for votes from the people that owe this money!!
Guess what our tax money is now going to be paying for all those ridiculous degrees in things like classical this or that. Many of the things people major in are worthless yet they signed up and agreed to pay for them, oh but wait now for their vote for Brandon we the taxpayers will take that burden off of them.
What happened to a real raise in social security and disability payments?? No now they are trying to tell us there is no inflation which they can then use to say since there is no inflation a raise in social security or disability for next year will not happen or they will raise it a measly.25 for the year along with raising Medicare part b costs.
Pay your own student loans you signed for them you owe them not me!!
People that don't "like" don't understand it, the debt just doesn't disappear!
You have to get on a payment plan and pay for a certain amount of time to qualify for "forgiveness".
The more you know…lol
Grumpy RepubliCONs!!! 😂
I definitely don’t like it. I don’t know much about these PPP payments everyone keeps talking about but i didn’t benefit from that program either; I took a year off during the heart of Covid and lived off my savings
I’m a truck driver, went to college for a semester and dropped out 25 years ago. I paid back every cent of my loan. I do not have the perks of having a college degree but now I’m forced to pay for others’ loans who decided to get their degrees? By any metric that’s incredibly unfair
Im for regulating the cost of tuition and maybe having the universities eat some of that money since their ridiculous tuition rates is what caused this crisis in the first place but redistributing these loan payments to the taxpayers is not fair to those of us that chose other paths in life. It’s just not. No hate but I don’t want to pay for your loans and I shouldn’t have to
Bullshit! Pay for your own, sick of paying everyone elses way. Democrates are all for WELFARE!! FO
Thank you, President Biden. This act will not increase inflation and will help boost the economy. As a college graduate who has repaid all of my student loans I am excited to hear this great news. Thank you!
And to all the right-wing fascists who lie about everything: YOU are absolutely unAmerican. Want a civil war, bring it!
Did you ask people what they thought of the PPP loans being forgiven? I feel like that wasn’t properly debated.
Boomer: "WAHHHH"
Millenial: "I'm still in debt but I'm in less debt."
Useful Idiots thinking they are "Intellectuals". Duh!
Man they should of spent that on something else just like the should of spent the money they gave Ukraine on something else in america
Let's make the banks who said they weren't going to take PPP return all the billions they took through loopholes. Let's make the Orange Crimecicle repay all his bankruptcies and of course let's get all the money we've spent on corporate and farm bailouts
This law is unfair to students who paid off their debts imho. And also unfair to the already financially-crippled public who have to pay these taxes for it.
For the ppl that are against this for the sole reason that either they are already paid off their and they didn’t have help. Shows how selfish y’all are. Says so much really! Anyone that is against this is just ridiculous 🤦🏽♀️! As for the hypocrites in the senate n congress that are already getting blasted. We all know y’all have no shame so the least y’all could do is spare us ur BS n STFU!
for being a news org, kinda sad you cant balance your audio signals.
College is a scam. People who already got scammed feel better if everybody gets scammed equally. Lobsters pulling other lobsters down into the bucket.
Why can't government give 10k to everyone who PAYS into federal income tax. I'm not talking about anyone who files just the ones that had payroll deductions taken out all year. This seems much more fairer. Give back to those who put in.
Maybe college would be cheaper if they didn't pay coaches salaries of ten million dollars a year, or the players who already going to school for free because they can run and catch a ball.
Figures some old white dude would be angry he didn't get his, typical.
I'm tired of paying for everyone else"s debts…
Those people saying it's a bad policy, are not putting things into perspective. Some more MAGA propaganda talking points. Only if they realize the amount in the PPP loans their GOP politicians and corporations got, and was forgiven. They range from 5, 6, to 7 figure digits. And all was forgiven. And those politicians were supposedly millionaires. And don't forget about the tax cuts Trump gave the super wealthy people and corporations. Those loan forgiveness given to students are a drop in the bucket, compared to the tax cuts and PPP loans the rich got.
17 second video, sharing two people's opinion, titled "What Michiganders really think about student loan forgiveness"?
Go fuck yourself.
my left ear loved this video
Gee, I wish my house was paid off and I could just move on with my life. 🤣
The outrageous cost of college tuition is class warfare.
Its like "You should not give people the cure for cancer, I died with it so they should die too."
Conservatives should be happy, that money will go to capitalism instead of government. Liberals should be happy because some won't have to have it as hard as we did.
NONE of this is FREE. Debt is not forgiven and magically erased. YOUR taxes will increase and everyone will pay for it. Are people really this naive or should I say illiterate.
The colleges and universities are charging a fortune for education. Their coffers are full and they are making hugh profits on the tuition and also when signing up student loans at a higher cost than students shopping around. Get them to reduce the tuition to a reasonable amount.
Tax revolt .
call it a stimulus for job creators and see if people approve.
For those who are against any help for student loans, I hope they turned down the PPP/COVID stimulus money they got from the US/Michigan. I mean we don't want to be hypocrites….right? wink
SHOCKER THE GUY WHO CANT EVEN READ DOESNT LIKE STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS
Interest on student debt IS A TAX on student debt.
Do boomers want kids to hold up the economy with taxes on required education while the boomers got a clean break?
This is going to cause more inflation.
I'm free, everyone else can suck it.
if only america "the greatest nation blah blah" was as good as other countries and offered people free education… and healthcare. (nb4 the usual arguments from people that believe billionaires that dont wanna pay taxes)
Im sure lots of dems thing inflation, gas prices and taxes are fair.
My left ear enjoyed this
Great Now I can buy several more latte's at Starbucks each day Yeah!
This is what the idiot left always does. They pay back their supporters at the expense of the rest of America.
This is a nothing video. Please don't post unfinished or nonsensical videos on Youtube when you are a professional news organization.
We're a nation of three year olds. We forgot that life isn't fair. It goes both ways. Life isn't fair, which is why you gotta take out loans for college. Life isn't fair, which is why some people's debt is forgiven. People are going to have it easier than you. If that pissed you off, you're a child.
On average, people without college degrees earn less than those with college degrees. That is why most students are willing to pay so much for that higher income. Those that are earning less on average who never attended college are now forced to subsidize those that are earning more because of their degrees. I had 40k in student loans before paying them off on Feb 2020 but still understand why middle and lower class non-graduates wouldn’t want to pay for college for others.
If you attend a 50k a year university and major in Women's Studies, you're the dumb ass… Pay the loan with your waitress tips…
Aww, old white man thinks it’s unfair. Sad.
If Republicans in Michigan feel like student loan forgiveness isn't fair and equates to "Big Government Socialism," then maybe ask them how they feel about how farmers in Michigan took in about $4,242,000,000 in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2020. It's a free market enterprise, right? Let those farms fail if they don't want Big Government Socialism.
Unfair, no! Don't take it personal! I had to pay off my student loans and I think is great for our children who are drowning in them! Our debt was nothing compared to theirs. College is big business now and the rates are through the roof. 🤔😒
"Crisis point when it comes to student loans"
is that what we call it when someone takes out a loan they know full well they won't be able to pay back because the "career" they're interested in involves a gender studies degree (unemployed)
Look, life is never fair, most people never get what they deserve, good or bad. But anything that puts money in the hands of those that need it I am for.
The Congress folk who passed PPP were only too happy to cash in.. and now they want to bitch about real working people getting a break. Heck to them!
So is everyone against this ok with the government subsidizing farmers who grow corn just to end up as ethanol in your fuel tank? Willing to bet most people crying about this arent so worried about our tax dollars being spent on that but are some of the loudest opponents. Maybe people should stop and think how they might have benefited from other peoples money before crying they didnt get something from this.
