    A quick story. My son went to a large midwest university. He took as a freshman a class called "19th Century Art History". His book for the course was a beautiful large book that cost us $400 to buy. You heard that right....$400 for a single book. I rationalized it by telling myself we'd recoup money at semester's end by selling it back to the store. A typical practice at larger universities. So after the year my son took the book back to the campus bookstore when buying his new books for the next year. He was told, they would NOT buy back the book. There was "a new edition" of the book the professor apparently wanted to use !! REALLY !!?? If this was "Intro to Cold Fusion" or some other developing information....sure I get it. The subject changes quickly and new editions are needed. BUT HOW MUCH DOES ART HISTORY FROM THE 19TH CENTURY CHANGE IN 6 MONTHS ??? Answer....it does not change one tiny bit. This is a typical scam played by publishers and universities to get additional sales of books, and until we get a handle on this (and others like it) the cost nonsense gets worse.
  • Dead on arrival... The unfairness act...The Heros act is for our military Heros.. Theses Student are Not Heros... Their a Pain in my "SS.. and my pocket
  • @wulfeman9948
    it is not relief . its a transfer of the debt to others who didnt take out them loans
  • @CP-qz1oi
    Why not go to the Universities and get them to "forgive" student loans - give them a refund of their tuitions!!!!!
  • Be Accountable you signed the loan 💸 papers 🇺🇸 pay your Debt 🤔
  • The way to relive student debt. Is to get a job. To honor the contract that you signed. Not sit unemployed or under employed. Ignoring the whole reason you went to college for. Oh I forgot many go to college today for the experience. And avoid the dreaded four letter word. Work.
  • @gojobuddy
    Just look at the name of it, The Hero’s Act. How are these students hero’s? This was for those in the military serving their country
  • Here’s the thing….I had student loans after college/grad school, $60K or so. I had to sacrifice (not buying things I’d like, not going on vacations, etc.) to REPAY my loans. Am I going to get a refund if others’ student loans are forgiven? If not, why am I being discriminated against?
  • @desi4227
    She says the governments money, like she doesn’t understand that we pay that money. Why help these people who purposely sought a loan? Why not pay off unforeseen medical expenses? There is WAY worse off people than those who Purposely sought a loan they can’t or don’t want to pay back.
  • The fact that we are debating whether people need to payback the money they borrowed is proof the degrees they got are useless… jus sayin
  • Gorsuch is exactly right,there should be no free ride they borrowed it they pay it back NOT ME
  • My kids didn’t go to college, and my daughter in law paid in full her loans. If students sign a loan to pay it back, they need to pay it back not me.
  • @Jaba207
    If they are to waive student loans, why not also waive business loans? And mortgages? And car loans?
  • @CP-lv8ot
    She keeps pointing to the pandemic for the justification to forgive student loans because they were impacted. Hell, everyone was impacted... do I get mortgage relief? How bout car notes? Credit cards? I mean, where does it end?!
  • @mhollman8650
    As if we do t have an issue with an entire generation of entitled young people. Let’s teach them they don’t need to pay their way. When TF are we going to wake up?
  • Lower the cost of a college education Just have them learn what applies to their major The basics should be learned in high school
  • @brenth7863
    Millions of people elected other routes to building a career that didn't revolve around tens of thousands in debt.. it's not my job to pay it now
