No its not

Nice try.

Typical...Leftists setup government sponsored scam to funnel cash to Leftist indoctrination programs that saddle enormous debt on young Americans. Then, when the bottom falls out say, its our problem.

How about pass laws cutting certain curriculums? Why does a Finance major need to take Music or Art history ? Or botany? Useless. And wasted money.

Not picking useless degrees like gender studies and music theory also helps too.

Not mine. Let the whole corrupt thing collapse along with the idiots that can't pay credit rating.

They say don’t complain,don’t be another statistic as a minority, get ahead,break the chain. When we do, we still find ourself in a complexity of debt that we never intended or thought about at the time of enrollment. We just wanted progression.Drowning in student debt,now what?

Not mine! Along with scholarships, I saved and paid for my kids college education.

Only when you relieve the borrowers of their responsibility and load it onto the taxpayers.

Pay your loans back! I did. Why do you think you deserve special privileges? Not my fault you picked a crap degree that doesn’t pay. 🤷‍♀️

Not 1 dollar of that is mine, so your everybody's problem doesn't fit! I paid for my college I'm not paying for others

YNB It's amazing how people are so quick to call people that get loans 'idiots or suckers'. Remember, most of these 'suckers' are 17 or 18 year old ppl that may not fully understand what they're signing.

No... the problem is squarely with the people that take out the loans.

It's not my problem....I didn't sign on the dotted line

Not my problem. I work hard and pay my damn bills.

Fact: No it isn’t.

Dont go to college

University tuition has outpaced healthcare yet it's our fault?

I graduated in 1999 and I still have four more years to pay off my debt.

Not mine.

College is a racket.A lot of it is bs busy work.I wanted to go to school for accounting, because I'm pretty decent at math.But why do I have to take Western Civ? Chem? Why can't I just learn the things I need for my job? I get why Eng/Ethics/etc. Got a cdl instead. A job's a job.

No its fucking not! Pay your shit, or dont get loans.

I graduated in 1999 and still have 4 more years to pay the rent off. One of the worst decisions I ever made was college. Has been a burden for many years.

TheDemocrats please help fix this

Not mine. Ever heard of personal responsibility? It’s something we seem to be lacking as a society, but hey, you can always pay my mortgage if you’d like.

No

flag1941 1 cause of the student loan crisis: “Alright honey, that’s a lot of money but if that’s the school you’ve fallen in love with we’ll make it work because you only get to do this once.”

Nope.

Nope. No it isn’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️

$50,000 for one year for a master’s degree, in addition to grants, etc.! Did I read that right?

These universities that con these poor kids. Employ hundreds of thousands of well paid gold plated benefits liberals who become the biggest donors to the Democrat party (check the stats—U’s are top donors) then tell them a BA isn’t enough. Borrow more! Get that masters! Suckers.

How is it my problem, I didn’t agree to the terms (unless it’s included in the terms of my phone)

Sure is😩😡

As someone with student loan debt, I’ve decided to stick around for a good time, not a long time. The financial burdens of life will have outweighed the benefits by the time I would reach old age. I’ll check out in 20 years once I’ve really run the tab up.

Not my problem.

No the hell it isn't. My parents paid for my college, I'm paying for my kids & they'll handle their kids college fees. That's the deal. Not my problem if someone didn't plan ahead.

Nope not mine. Be smart enough to get a useful education.

Hahah nope not mine

Actually, the problem belongs to the numbskulls that signed for the loans. Nice try though.

Social Justice and Interpretative Dance degrees are useless and don't tend to have employers beating down the door. So maybe the people with all the debt should have gotten useful degrees and worked during college? Simple and easy thing to do.

It's not my problem. Everyone in my family that went to college worked during the year to pay their way and also got useful degrees and paid off whatever student debt they had remaining fairly quickly after graduation. Not that hard to do when you get a degree that helps you work

It took me 20 years to pay mine off when you didn’t think it was anyone’s problem but mine.

Negative, I went to a decent shool with a poor social life and fewer amenities that offered better scholarships to attract students while everybody around me paid more to get useless degrees from more fun schools with prettier buildings. I won’t subsidize their choice.

I paid off my student loans. It's your responsibility and yours alone.

Pass laws capping college fees: $10k/year tuition, $50k salaries for professors, $50 text books.

No..its not....at all.

Go to state school, pay in-state tuition, find a passion, outperform your peers, live your life fulfilled and debt free. Or be a moron and buy into elitism.

According to AOC we can just print money and fix it all

Mmmmm...not my problem...NotMyProblem

No...only those DUMB ENOUGH TO BORROW FOR THAT GENDER STUDIES DEGREE... not my problem...

I wasn't forced to sign on the dotted line.

Not going to college helps.
