It was the only responsible decision that could have been made, despite three activist judges.

Everybody else before Biden has had to pay theirs off, they've gotten a break for three years, what have they been doing with the money. Stop trying to live large, pay it off then live large.

Another example of media bias towards socialism/authoritarianism. Notice the leading of 'The conservative justices..'.

Life is about choice. If you borrow to get an education then you are obligated to pay it back. It is your choice on what your using the funds for in regard to your education. Be wise!

An educated society is a better society. Even if I didn't have a college education I would want the people who had received one to have no/ reduced debts compared to the current cost of an education. I want my nurse to be good at nursing not working 60-80 hours/week to cover cost of education.

An educated person, is responsible and pays their debts. An educated person, doesn't ask non-educated people to coddle them. The people who want free stuff, are not educated, they are selfish.

"An educated society is a better society" Straw-man argument. Why is the nurse $100K in debt? The 'evil' rich or ever growing governmental regulations to make 'an educated society a better society'?

Only if they want massive investment that dramatically expands their taxbase and builds modern infrastructure close to the end users to support a growing futuristic economy. Unfortunately, Columbia city council listens to misguided special interests who live in leftist utopia dreamworld.

City leaders would rather tax the citizens. They don't want the city to grow.

Taking rural land away, hurts the environment. We're destroying our world. Notice none are close to the people that want them.

Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water use of a small city. Additionally, they can draw as much electricity as 100,000 homes or more, significantly impacting local resources. That is simply unacceptable.
