    If you went to college and can’t find your “Golden Job” it’s not my problem. Pay your own dam debt!
  • @genelegate1308
    Please stop calling it “debt forgiveness” - it’s “debt transfer” to the rest of us.

    Back in the day, I crammed a four year degree into six years working two jobs. I graduated debt-free and have never demanded that someone else pay my bills for me.
  • @rockymill1796
    Why do I have to pay for some brat that went to college when I couldn't afford it?
  • @artlessons6772
    I thought the Supreme Court said this was not lawful, especially for those protesting at these Ivy League schools.
  • @johnd7304
    Forgiving student debt, without requiring them to work it off at a public service job, is just criminal and stone cold stupid. Manchin asked him a question and he still hasn't answered it yet. Cardona is just plain stupid.
  • @coyhisaw2211
    What the hell, what about trade school dept forgiveness.
  • @deadname...
    People working at McDonald's will be paying the debt of college graduates making $100,000 a year or more.
  • @vel230
    From the river to the sea no student loan forgiveness for insurrestionests......
  • @leedelay1856
    If you take out a loan you have to repay it just like every American.
  • @Rick-ux5ku
    fix it by giving them money? Why can't these idiots pay for their own.
  • TOO BAD SO SAD FOR THAT TEACHER. SHE OWES EVERY DIME BACK. OR THEY ARE DEADBEATS.
  • @dean96857
    Pay for College debt. Who's going to pay for my Credit Card debt?
