We were 17-18 years old, and every single adult in power over us told us to go to college, get these loans to pay for it. Now we're in so much debt we can't afford to start families, buy homes, everything the other generations took for granted. Now we're "entitled" for complaining about it.

Jeanette Johnson

govt bailed out all the banks and car makers why the heck not

Felisha

My parents were able to own property because it was attainable to do so; just like college was way more affordable. We aren't entitled we are just rattled with debt and can't get out from under student loans.

Jamie McAtee

So do you have regrets about going to college, regrets about what college you chose to go to ($$$$), or regrets that you now have to repay your debts like all of the rest of us for our schooling?

Courtney Lucas

If we send these kids out into the world thousands of dollars in debt, we are setting them up for failure. If we punish them for educating themselves this is why we have such a huge poverty level.

Christopher Watson

None of the people living in the Projects or low income housing got there because they went to College, Keep it real.

Max DeYoung

I won't let their foolishness, or your foolishness drive me into poverty. We are not a communist country, nor are we going to be.

Jeffery Schuyler

Banks and billionaires got loan forgiveness and bailouts. That students don't get relief from predatory and outrageously overpriced tuition is obscene.

Tammy Shannon

Kids at this age are so young to make these decisions and college is so expensive these days. By the time they graduate they have $50,000+ in debt and are just getting started in their employment and all ready overwhelmed in debt.

You borrow money , you pay it back. Simple

Bostino

use your brain..

Mac Kinder

Creates more entitlement and irresponsibility

Abby Normal

If you are mature enough to take out a loan, then you should be mature enough to pay it back. Nobody made you take out a loan. If your field of study/ preferred career doesn't pay enough to support you and pay back your loans, then you chose poorly. You've just learned personal responsibility.

Max DeYoung

Felisha chose a profession that pays nothing, and blames others. LOL

Felisha

So because I chose social work as a career and spend 50 to 60 hours a week doing so, I should find a different career? Wait until you need a socialworker. I'm not saying I shouldn't pay loans back but there should be some Incentive working for our communities and our residents.

Christopher Watson

I have never asked anyone else to pay my bills, they should of had their priorities straight to begin with. 1, degree, 2. Career, 3. Pay off bills, 4. buy a new car, 5. Then you're ready for a relationship/marriage/and a house.

Terre Chambers

Absolutely not. Let them pay their own bills like the rest of us have.. They have already been given too much with no payments for three years. Make them pay

Randy Burson

I'm sick & tired of people with their entitlement attitude. I took out a student loan, I paid it off. If you took out a student loan, you pay it off.

Max DeYoung

NO, Joseph Edward Trueblood. You are too irresponsible to start a family, and buy a home. Student loans won't buy common sense.

If you sign a contract, you fulfill the contract.

The progressive socialist are treasonous. A threat to Americans and the United States. They bend rules, break rules and subvert law. They are racist, cult, extremists, and I am being kind at that. It's time for the insanity to end and for the adults to again take charge.

Nicole

Why would the republicans vote against setting a law to prevent gerrymandering in 2021 HR1 ‘For the People Act’ in DC? If they wanted to prevent cheating, they would have voted yes. But here we are trying to change the maps when normally we do it every 10 years after census data.

Max DeYoung

Congressional maps should not be bases on racial matters, religions, or any matter similar.

The Republicans know they have gone too crazy and ruined their core values by not standing against trump for his craziness. The Republicans know they cannot win a fair fight anymore, so they have to result to un-American tactics. I gave myself whiplash shaking my head so hard. Hypercritics they are!

Keith Oser

Just another political ploy to divert and appease the convicted criminal in the White House……. Where are the Epstein files?

Keith

MAGA and Republicans are treasonous. A threat to Americans and the United States. They bend rules, break rules and subvert law. They are racist, cult, extremists.

Lillian Bears

The map was redone at the last census. No more need until the next census. It should be the same for all states not matter what districts are held by Republicans or Democrats.

Toasty

No. Republicans need to focus on eliminating/reducing property taxes, road improvements, etc not splitting millimeters on a map trying to garner more power.

Walter Jones

Gerrymandering districts in NC has contributed to many people being represented by someone who does not represent their beliefs. Maybe it's time for Democrats to start this crap. We really need to find an impartial way to divide states. In this age of AI it should not be complicated.

Tom Maxwell

Republicans are doing their job very poorly. We need less not more

Eric Smith

America needs more stellar Democrats to serve 50 plus years in Congress. Without them, we wont get to see a House speaker rip up a presidential address in front of the nation, not to mention getting extremely wealthy with incredible investment skills.

Nicole

Seems weird you would say this considering the top 2 wealthiest congress members are republicans. Rep Pelosi comes in at #11.

Will Mason

We haven't had dems gerrymandering our districts like Texas dems did. We don't need to correct democrat gerrymandering. Texas does.

Nicole

Texas Democrats gerrymandered the state but R’s hold 25 seats and Dems have 12 seats. Do you not understand how gerrymandering works?

Jeffery Schuyler

Republicans engaging in gerrymandering to cement their power and shut out Democratic voices only demonstrates their despiration.
