If this were any other democratic nation in the world there would be no cost for higher education at all in the first place. We are the only free nation that discriminates against people getting a higher education based on wealth.

Agreed, but it goes beyond wealth. Education is an investment in the future of the entire country. Look at most of the other responses here. People who want to destroy the country to protect a bad-haired 80 year old celebrity. Maybe $10K in student loans would have opened their minds

Education is the basis of any society. Yet more so in a democracy. If any should wish to vote in a informed manner in a democracy they must support education for everyone. Limiting education, is limiting the vote. And likely why the disinterest in voting. Not even 60% voted in the last election.

the govt should not forgive all the loans but for the specific students who are in the economically weaker sections, and with some conditions like - they should not trade their brains to other countries for higher profits but its for the betterment for our country

These are some of the people who will probably default on other bills and then want taxpayers to bail them out. They signed the contract to repay their student loan and they should be held accountable.

No!

It's not fair to the parents who paid for their children's college educaiton nor to the people who have already paid off their student loans. And it will not improve the economy.

Taxpayers shouldn't be saddled with debts like this. This is totally unfair to all those who paid off their own debts as well as all those who didn't take out student loans.

What is the precedent moving forward? I paid my student loan. Get a job, live within your means, and don't expect the American tax payer to pay your debt. You took the loan out, figure out how to pay it off

3 Reasons. 1. People took the money and agreed to pay it back. They need to fulfill their agreement. 2. The vast majority of current student debt is for graduate school, not from people getting thier undergraduate degree. 3. Government analysis shows that higher income people would benefit most.

Treatment... What we're currently doing is allowing the addicted to die a slow death. It's time to bring those who are suffering in their addiction into a facility that can determine whether or not you can do life sober on your own or need assistance. Leaving Americans under Tarps is INHUMANE.

No one forced the students to take the loans, and now everyone else has to pay for them? The bigger priority is taking the "Print Money" button away from the Democrats!!!

Absolutely not ! What kind of a message does this send, no need to take responsibility for your actions and just a political ploy to buy votes for midterms. Administration said this would happen right away but waited till now. Just like the inflation bill. Slap in the face to working Americans.

A "loan" is an agreement to repay. I attended as I could afford my college education. I paid my kid's way so they could attend without using loans. If someone can't afford their education, they should wait or pause their education.

I paid back every penny of the student loans that I took out many years ago. Besides, I question the legality of this being a function of the executive branch of our government.
