No

To better our country, the people should be provided with the resources to have the brainpower to have the want, need and ability to help this country without being in debt for life and having to worry about deadlines and payments and whatnot.

I believe that It's unfair for people to have to work until they're elderly in order to pay for education that should be free. There are people who don't have the ability to continuously pay off thousands and thousands of dollars just because they wanted a better life.

Students can come from a very low class with such high potential, but because of money they cannot pursue the life that they have ahead of them.

The rich are able to hoard wealth because the amount we currently tax them is not high enough -- why should we go into debt just to receive a basic education that's required to get a decent job while the top 1% have more money than they could spend in a lifetime? The money is not trickling down, and history has shown that when we tax the rich at a higher income rate, we make major advancements -- in the 1960s, our economy was booming when the highest income rate for the wealthy was 91%, the decade when we put man on the moon. Now it has gone down significantly, and we are suffering for it. We can abolish student loans easily.

The student loan system and the debt economy are inherently predatory and designed to trap low income young adults in a lifetime of debt for the sake of profit.

Students are suffering with crippling debt. That is not really their fault as we, as a society, kind of have set that up for ourselves and that is a great incentive for us to run to take care of the expenses for college.

The riches have a lot of money doing things they love, the least they can do is to help out the students pay off their debt who might be able to make big positive chances to this world in the future.

Students are already just starting out their lives as young adults and having that burden that can last a lifetime can be harmful to their futures.

Millennials were robbed of decent adulthood because of the greedy Federal government allowing 18-22 year olds sign up for debilitating debt from predatory lending. The only way kids from poor and middle class families can go to school is through loans. Most kids of wealthy families have no desire to be physicians, lawyers, teachers, nurses, pharmacists, engineers. So therefore, the jobs that require expensive degrees are filled with people with student loans. The entire country needs to support this generation if they went to survive. As the baby boomers get old, they better pray people still want to go to school to become a healthcare worker and take care of them!!

In my opinion, the rich already gets paid too much and they should be taxed more so students can be less stressed about loans in college. Not to mention, the rich has money that sits in the bank or in their account that is completely unused. Why give so much money to one person when it can be distributed to the people and help millions of other people.

Education should be free, Test the students. Those who want to learn and be in school will be there.

most of the people paying these student loans will pay them for the rest of their lives, are we really going to make people pay for education for that long?

Student loans increase dept in students and if the students cannot pay it back it creates more poverty.

It's unfair for people to have to work until they're very old in order to pay for education that should be free. Especially when in or economy these days it's impossible to land a lot of higher jobs without a bachelors degree at minimum. There are people who don't have the ability to continuously pay off thousands and thousands of dollars.

Student loans can lead to crippling financial issues, and cause people to be unable to get a house, afford to start a family, or other money issues such as food, needs, and bills.

I think that college should be some or all the way payed for by the government, we need educated people in the world and we cant get that if people want to got to college and have to work because they can't afford it. If people were to focus on student loan debt they wouldn't be focused on doing great hings they would be focused on the money.

They can be student loans but they should be greatly reduced so it is a compromise between higher taxes to the rich but people with loans will still have loans.

It's unfair to people who go to college to get a high paying job just for them to pay off the education for decades after.

It would be more helpful for citizens to study and have a community with the study for a job that could make more money for U.S

Rich people are rich, they have a ton of money, compare to college students, who are most definitely broke. Share the wealth!

As people should be held responsible for the economic things they add to themselves, student loans should not be built the way they are that people have to go to college to get a good job but have to pay it off their whole lives. Jobs should be more based off of skill than where you could go to college.

This will cause an oversaturation of people with college degrees who may not be the best candidates to receive them.

The current system is unfair and most responsible people who have taken out loans and faithfully paid will end up paying way too much taking interest into account

i think that they shouldnt even be a thing because being in college and having to worry about paying for books and other things and then having school plus a job is stressful and can cause severe depression and drain your mental health.

It is commonly known that student loans curse the general populace with a demeaning shadow on everything they earn.

Student loan forgiveness is an abuse of the loan system. People must be held responsible for their personal economic choices

Do you believe it's fair that an irresponsible student, that went to college and racked up their bill now wants a tax worker to pay off their overpriced education.

Students from lower income homes have just the same right of any student to apply and attend university. Student loans should be provided by the government and encouraged since it’s fueling to newer generations and encourages learning.

because if we had a free college thing then the sat would drop and everything would be less effort overall worse

Tuition fees have skyrocketed since the 1980's, and if we want an educated society, giving the ability for higher education is essential.

If you’re a family that’s struggling already or even if you’re not struggling you shouldn’t have to worry about paying for something else you wouldn’t have spent an expense on because of a specific budget. Furthermore yo teach people the idea of oh someone else will just pay for me is just not a good one to teach.

The money that would be used to pay off student loans comes from the tax payers. This would hurt the country as a whole and drive us more into a recession. I think there are other solutions for making a college degree more accessible like scholarships that are not funded by taxes ex. Georgia's HOPE scholarship being funded by the lottery.

The potential of "hurting the economy when the rich are taxed" is a hypothetical answer to a current problem. When a percentile of low-income individuals struggling to pay student loans is much larger than high-income (not always income) individuals that are able to pay student loans, there is a clear distinction in wealth disparity caused in relation with large corporations and financial institutions.

We cannot waste 1.77 trillion dollars of our tax to pay for those who are dumb that can't pay for their student loans.

I don't have statistics to provide more context its a chose purely on opinion and I shouldn't need statistics to decide whether or not to give my money to a bunch of bums who cant pay for their own ****

It’s not about context, data, or statistics. It’s a moral question. Who should pay for YOUR stuff? You or somebody else?

If colleges are guaranteed the government's money, there would be competition and they would not need to make their college the best it could be to get the money of their students.

THis site says that it would only cost 1%, but in Wisconsin the cost is $1,.079,000. That's a lot for the taxpayers to add.

There are already free community colleges such as Amarillo college that do not cost anything. If someone really wants a free education, they can go there.

Going to college is not required or a necessity so I feel America should be putting their tax money towards more important and useful situations.

If you tax the rich more, well the "rich" are company owners and they aren't stupid, if you raise taxes on them, they raise their prices to equal out so no one wins. It isn't fair for those not going to college, it's not fair for people to have to pay for something you want you should earn it though scholarships or work for it.

The money that would be used to pay off student loans comes from the tax payers. This would hurt the country as a whole and drive us more into a recession. I think there are other solutions for making a college degree more accessible like scholarships that are not funded by taxes ex. Georgia's HOPE scholarship being funded by the lottery.
