Reality Check by Dave Whamond for April 28, 2021

Does he even have any interest? (Sorry; that was accrued humor.)

…forgive you! Or repay you!

“You caused me … lots of money” — huh?

Gimme a loan and then leave me alone!

Exactly how Dave Ramsey described it. Had it so long it became a pet following you around. Or something like that, sorry Dave.

Nobody made you take the loan. Why not do like everybody else and work to pay it off? Maybe I can get somebody to forgive my house and car loans.

Most people pay their loans off, some continue to take courses so as not to pay off the loan. Ralph advises not to leave him a loan….he must know something we don’t know……Hmmmmm

I got a math degree and my first job out of college was working at a shoe store. I eventually got a government job. Almost 2/3 of college grads NEVER get a job in the field they majored in for one reason or another. I worked with a guy who went to Med School, but couldn’t take the stress of being a doctor.

Is Higher Education an over priced ‘Windmill’ (Quixote)?

I paid off every penny of my massive student debt. And have earned it it all back tenfold. Actually, more like a hundredfold. So, I guess it served its purpose.

A typical government teat sucker … is that a “man bun” …?

There are a lot of majors that don’t lead to a money-making career. I think that before someone goes into debt for their education, they should think about how they will be able to pay it off. My grandson graduated with a degree in philosophy. Thankfully he didn’t go into debt for it. I think if people go into teaching they should get their debt reduced or paid off.

I locked in at a pretty low rate. I can afford to pay it off but can make more with the money owed by investing it!

I’m one of those “some college” people. My student loans got me kicked out: I was signing up for 2 classes and dropping 1 to get them deferred because 1 class was all I could afford and had time for working 50 hours/week for near minimum wage. The university eventually got their registrar computers talking to their financial aid computers, and they kicked me out. My brain eventually snapped from the stress. Now I’m so chagrined from the debt experience, I dare not try to finish college, nevermind that I’m so addle-brained, I probably couldn’t if I wanted to.

With an entitlement mentality.. you shouldn’t have to.. Years of party with a little study thrown in are yours for the taking.. Heck this is America.. the land of milk and honey.

Your forgiveness is not what’s required, it’s the governments forgiveness you need, and I hope you never get it.

Pappa was a rollin’ stone…

If the federal government forgave all the student-loan debt it holds, then bought out all the privately-held student-loan debt and forgave that, it would cost the Treasury less than the Republiklans’ last tax-breaks-for corporations-and-the-1% scam – and, unlike that abomination, it would actually help the economy.

Yes! Forgiving all of those loans is ridiculous ,and giving all of these ILLEGAL people money and free things we had to work for is not right either!!!!

If you had majored in a marketable skill you wouldn’t be in this situation. A Masters in gender studies doesn’t take you very far.
