Saddest thing ever for americans trying to get a education

Should not be the situation-abolish loans and make education free is it not a right after all? No one must be left behind....

So that's what they really meant by no child left behind.

Who’s fault is that no one broke their arms to take these Loans colleges profited immensely from this with useless degrees The blame should be pleased with the individual

Yep... and it’s ridiculous. Let me go commit some crimes, get a free home, free food, then work on my Bachelors for free...... 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Need an reform!! Would be better for everybody

Umm.. duh

Time to send in AndrewYangVFA to setup UBI FreedomDividend

Stop borrowing money to go to outdated schools teaching skill sets that are no longer in demand. Go study a vocation that's desperate for people and make six figures a year.

AOC priorities for leadership, boo. Get on course... liability management is your representation. TaxpayerCreed

already overloaded up to these no thanks

Life long student loan slaves! 100% the debt kleptocrats buy!

When the debt is greater than the economic opportunity? Don’t borrow.

Out of order and altogether ungodly, completely.

College should honestly be free if not change highschool format & teach kids about the basics of life such as investing filing taxes , savings just my opinion
