hassanminhaj What's with these COMEDIANS, Hassan, Jon stewart, Colbert, etc..why are they acting like concerned citizens...I mean really..comedians schooling Congress ? These Hollywood elites must think they are concerned Americans citizens or something!!
I don't have a lot of regrets but getting a student loan is definitely in my top 3. The day I realized I fucked up is when my entire income tax return was garnished.
He is absolutely right about this! It shouldn't be that only the wealthy people can afford to have a higher education. It's the lower middle class that can actually benefit from having a higher education and make use of it!
It’s a choice. My girlfriend graduated college debt free? Also she went to UofO. Left debt free. I asked how and she said she worked the whole time in college 🤔 who would of thought🤔 stop making college your job. Because you’re broke when u leave nerds
Why have we not heard anyone address why the cost of an education has grown exponentially?! Where have all those dollars gone? Why are there no controls?
But lets bankrupt the population to allow college for all, including in fields with no employment opportunity? College tuition has skyrocketed since government took over student loans & will explode more if 'free education' occurs. No need to be frugal when it isn't your dime.
Cover up
This is the funniest I’ve seen him.
So lower the interest rates on current loans, give interest credit towards the principle. Bring back apprenticeships & company training. Colleges could be helping since they are responsible for the exorbitant tuition increases. Gov = taxpayers, taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook
Very clear and powerful speaking! Well said, Hasan Minhaj!
This is NOT an accident. A recent poll indicated that non-college educated people heavily favor the GOP. realDonaldTrump during the last election that he “loves uneducated people”. Pricing college out of reach for most Americans is a Republican plan to extend their control.
I'm as progressive as they come but if the Dems choose this cause over healthcare then they will not get their anything done. People shouldn't go bankrupt for medical care. A person can't go bankrupt over student loans, they went to college to get a better paying job. It's silly.
Then don't go.
hasanminhaj, if students won’t be able to use their degree to get a job that will enable them to pay the debt back, maybe they should be responsible and make a better choice? If people choose different paths to success, colleges will have to adapt or they will close.
Absolutely right on...Government should pay for students to go to college if they agree to teach or do social work for two years.
That's the funniest thing this loser has done ever...payyourbills
You know, when I was growing up, my parents told me very specifically that not everyone needs to go to college.
Well.... he should start helping by using his money to pay off my debts!!!!!! In good faith ..... hasanminhaj
We need a comedian testifying about anything in front of congress. This only proves that Congress is a joke.
Tell Elizabeth Warren she was making over 400 thousand a year at a university how about asking the professors and universities to lower there rates instead of trying to get the tax payers to pay for it I didn't go to college and make more money than some people who did
perhaps the fed govt has no place in the student loan program. look at how much tuition has risen since their takeover.
Anytime Congress has a Comedian testifying on debt instead of a financial guy like Dave Ramsey you know Congress is a pathetic joke!!
Then don’t pursue it. You are not my responsibility
Here's your free education
Never take out a loan, you can’t pay for..
Our higher education system has been a gravy train for colleges & universities for years. Finally, it seems the alarm is sounded as an impending very messy train wreck of lifelong debt, false hopes, increasing tuition, massive campus expansions is around the bend.
Lots of people have managed to get a job house get married n pay their student loans
Professors should take a pay cut. Universities should charge less. Stop blaming banks for giving you loans you asked for and agreed to pay back.
We shouldn't have to go bankrupt protecting our health. We shouldn't have to go bankrupt paying for this Admin's frivolities. We shouldn't have to go bankrupt paying legislators to do NOTHING. We shouldn't have to go bankrupt INVESTIGATING THE CRIMINAL IN THE WH.
He's right - Americans should not have to go bankrupt. Hence I went to a school 'I' (not my parents) could afford. I was 36, worked full time, paid for it myself. Kids do NOT HAVE to go right after high school.
Why should taxpayers or banks be forced to take on their financial burdens just because they made bad choices? This is not how America works. Take responsibility for your own choices and strive with all of your abilities to make good choices so you don't get into trouble.
No one forced them to go to school. It’s a choice. I’m $160k in debt because I chose to go to school.
What a wanker he expects the taxpayers to foot his bill
You don’t if you go to trade school
Maybe people shouldn't be pursuing degrees that don't or won't pay their bills. Maybe if government didn't guarantee the loans, colleges would have more incentive to lower costs to students.
If you don’t want to pay for it don’t go. Pretty simple.
Also, fucking hysterical. Why did a 'comedian' need to go to college AR ALL, let alone at a school putting him in debt!?!
Why is some scrub comedian testifying in Congress? In terms of college debt... figure it out college boy.
They don’t. Lots of ways to get a degree or certification for a reasonable cost.
I worked my way through college. It took 7 years to get my bachelors degree. Graduated with 1 student loan which I paid off in the 1st year after graduation. Stop brainwashing these kids.
Or go bankrupt trying to see a doctor and get some lab work done, or buy some medicine.
If you sign for the loan, be responsible and pay it. I just finished paying 45K in debt from loans. Suck it up, be an adult and pay it.
Then get a job and pay your way or through military service. No tax money should pay for anyone to go to college. No more free loading.
How about go to a Community College first and knock out your pre requisites and then transferring to a University for your final 2 years. Easiest way to save money right there.
You can't qualify to buy a car, house or even a $10,000 loan with little to no income or job experience. They have handing out loans along with politicians promoting higher education every electing year. Is personal responsibility promoted?
Pocahontas pay 💰 back the money 💰 you got for your education FRAUD
Easy & cheap money for homes = recession 2008/9. Decade later student loans w/ pulse & pen.
You receive the degree You gotta pay the fee ...
College is not free: who is going to pay the college loans? Maybe High Schools should teach how to manage a budget. If you can’t afford to pay a loan back, don’t take the loan in the first place.
Hasan is pushing a further tactic to destroy the US. Leftists are are the same: They hate America!
How about everyone pay their own debts, that'll work.
A COMEDIAN testifying before congress over student loan debt?🤨 These mofos still think we care what celebrities think.😆
This is getting out of hand! Why aren’t we teaching people responsible choices or just responsibility in general? We are telling kids they can do whatever they want but never there’s a price or sacrifice associated with it.
Do not ask for the loan if you cannot or will not pay it back. I am not paying for your college education.
Let’s go after the businesses ( Sallie Mai and the others that charge outrageous interest rates.
A comedian taken more serious than Congress. 2019 in a nutshell.
So maybe take on the Education Industrial Complex, since they overcharge for a defective product.
Where do you get a degree in Comedian?
They could have attended a community college
Why don’t the colleges forgive the debt? Refund the money so students can pay the banks back? Most people never even use the education they receive.
But they need to pay something. Wiping out debt says what? Party time for students?
Maybe tell the universities to reduce their fees rather than expecting taxpayers to bail them out.
I worked fulltime job, part time job, & attended college fulltime. I graduated in 4 years w/ a Bachelor's of Science degree in Accounting & got married a month after I graduated 2 my wife of 24 years this Nov, whom I met at my part time job! Very little debt; kids these days! Smh
Well government shouldn't have subsidized college increasing cost 🤷♂️
American's shouldn't have to struggle because their government steals their money and then gives it back to them in the form of 'assistance.' We don't want your assistance.
Then perhaps the colleges & the professors should fund this! NOT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER!
kids shouldn’t go thousands in debt to get a degree in lesbian dance theory. If you go to college it should only be to increase earning potential or to learn a skill. Since the government took over the student loan industry it has doubled. As usual government ruins everything
it's expensive because of the Government.
Just like we shouldn’t have to go bankrupt pursuing healthcare
I paid my own way, now pay yours!
Then perhaps they should start pursuing more lucrative academic curriculae...
Americans should not go bankrupt while financing useless degrees.
If you have to take out $40,000 for a school loan maybe you should just open up a business and hire people to work for you.
Then go to the school that doesn't cost that much to get your degree. Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Just tell the Socialist College professors they should teach for free, for the betterment of society. See it all works out in the end.
You took out these loan full well knowing you would have to pay them back. Sooo I took out a home loan and I want the government to pay it off for me ... doesn’t work that way ... man up and pay your debt
They DON'T HAVE to...they CHOSE to. No one is entitled to anything that requires the labor of others.
Learn a trade.
Don’t get a worthless degree in gender studies. The new basketweaving
He’s hilarious!
There is nothing forcing anyone to attend college.
Ok so...why is a “comedian” testifying in front of congress about student debt? Another ShitShow
Pretty sure, his kids have iPhones and every other comfort rich kids have, that are Democrats.
I paid off 'Every single cent with interest' of My $50,000 student loan! I got a second job and paid it off, tell Me why I should now pay off Your loan because Your lazy and made poor financial decisions!
Don't got to school if you can't afford it. My loans are almost paid off, I shouldn't have to pay for others. Stop being a bum and pay for your own crap or don't go to school. PERIOD!
They don’t have to, but they chose to. If they did not go to cheap community colleges and then transfer they earned their debt by going to schools they could not afford. Grow up and make good decisions.
Who
College tuition is a bubble created by the swamp
Why is it everyone goes to Congress to complain when they should be at the colleges who jack the costs!
And how much respect for a free education would there be? We all graduated with debt. It’s how we respect ourselves for the hard work.
The court jester pays a visit and tries to give serious advice.
Here's a hint,go to trade school, get a career then save money for college. Another option, join the military. Any branch will assist with college. Just saying.
Every student I knew in University that was in huge debt was mostly because of the way they lived, not because of tuition.
You don't have to. There are lots of ways to avoid this.
We can’t go bankrupt it’s illegal, you are indentured till it’s paid off welcome to 1890.
All you hardasses complaining about how students should just not go to college or not go to elite colleges are fine with bailing out banks but too stupid or too mean to support educating your fellow Americans which amounts to A PUBLIC GOOD PEOPLE and an economic boost...geez
they are the ones that signed up for the loans... loans for worthless degrees and brainwashing college courses.. how about push kids to attend trade schools where they can instantly get a career going in a shorter amount of time
A lot of these people seeking a well paid career, via a college education, are the same people who want to vote in socialism, thus only to get hit with high taxes. Makes sense to me.
Or Devos shouldn't get rich off taxpayer money and students' inability to pay back student loans.
What worst is when small businesses went bankrupt or had to shut it down because of ACA.
He's brilliant.
They do not have to. Community college is sufficient for 95% of people. Also wouldn't be needed if public high-schools weren't failing us by perusing the interests of faculty rather than the interest of the child's learning.
Solved the problem for you
Stupid. Why would they go bankrupt, when the loans are not discharged?
No one promised you a free ride...go to the college you can afford...or go to trade school...or just go get a job and work hard to advance.
What a joke🙄
Dumb
Andrew Yang Make America Think Harder, Administration take up most of the student debt
You'll notice they'll go after the government 2 pay for their college. AKA the taxpayers. But they NEVER EVER go after the college's the ones that actually set their prices. Cuz you know Chick-fil-A or something else that's useless 2 'protest'
Thanks to the Democrats.
