I have never understood why, when the discussions about student debt forgiveness first arose, that there were not questions about utilizing the endowments of the schools to help "their" students. Federal government should get out of the student loan business period!

Bingo! No one is even talking about fixing the student loan problem. How do we stop the bleeding? Colleges MUST be held accountable for this

Spot on as always. And the voters that pay for their kids’ college so they don’t get strappped with loans or students that work hard and pay their own way outnumber these clowns.

FBN’s Grady Trimble: “Just wanted to follow up on the student loan debt forgiveness.” KJP: “Yeah.” Trimble: “In the announcement, the undersecretary of education said, ‘we congratulate those borrowers on their due forgiveness.’ I'm just wondering why people who take out a loan to go to school, then go to school — why are they due forgiveness?” KJP: “Everybody has a different story as to why they need student loans. Everybody has different reasoning as to why they want to go to college. I cannot speak for everyone. What I — but —” Trimble: “But why is forgiveness due to them?” KJP: “— what we’re — what we have been very clear about is the system — the student loan system needs to be fixed.

"Harvard and a lot of elite universities have just stumbled over themselves. The optics are terrible." The Real Mike Rowe claims Harvard University is making his job "easier than it's ever been before" as more young Americans question whether it's really worth it to get an education at the institution. Do you think the cost of a Harvard education is worth the price of admission?

Mike Rowe Says a Shift is Happening in Higher Education “The collective illusion surrounding the primacy of a four year degree is tipping and when it falls, it’s going to go splat. And when that happens you’re going to see a whole other conversation emerge around the jobs that actually exist today.” The Real Mike Rowe

MIKE ROWE: “The Ivy League has beclowned themselves and Harvard has led the beclowning … The first shoe to drop is going to be a gobsmacking realization, on the part of a lot of regular Americans, that this university is already sitting on $54 BILLION. What the actual hell?”

Linda McMahon: "The plan is very simple. We have announced that beginning May 5, you must start to repay your loan. This is not to in any way to try to cause hardship. There are several different payment plans that you can access ... but they need to get on it. Because there isn't going to be any loan forgiveness program."

David Friedberg: “ I believe 100% in ending the federal student loan program.” “I think that it will force a restructuring of the higher education system in the United States, which no one wants to hear, no one wants to do, and everyone is against.” “But I think it is the only path forward.” “I think this is one of the top three most important issues we should be discussing right now.” “We have to get rid of the federal student loan program, and we have to force a rightsizing of higher education, and a restructuring of higher education, such that the access to education becomes more ubiquitous.” “It's not this $300,000 debt load that everyone is forced to take on.”

Bill Ackman Bill Ackman discusses President Trump's battle with Harvard. Bill Ackman: "The wrong thing to do is receive a letter from the Administration and write back saying: we're doing nothing and in fact, we're going to sue you." "What Harvard should have done is say: President Trump - you make some good points. Taxpayer money coming to Harvard is a privilege, not a right." Taxpayer money going to an institution - an institution cannot have massive amounts of administrative bloat, waste, bureaucracy- we're going to eliminate it." Bill Ackman goes further on the culture at Harvard. "There is not viewpoint diversity at Harvard. Students are self-censoring their remarks in classrooms. Faculty are doing the same - people are afraid to have real conversations. You go to college to be exposed to a broad array of ideas - and that's not happening at Harvard. Free speech is not happening." On Trump trying to make a deal with Harvard. "He (President Trump) wants to make a deal. Make a deal with the President. Commit to fix these things, which by the way, your alumni want you to fix - it's in the best interest of Harvard. Treat shareholder taxpayer money as a fiduciary." Fair or unfair to take the tax exempt status away? "I think it's fair. Harvard became over time a political advocacy organization for one party. When a University goes from being a University to effecting and becoming a political activist organization - it doesn't deserve a non-profit status." "Harvard should be a place where students go to learn and the best research gets done. It shouldn't be a place that is allowing pro-terrorist orgs on campus and only allows certain kinds of thinking and speech on campus - that's a political advocacy organization - not a University."

Chamath on How to Solve the Student Loan Debt Crisis in America “Bill Ackman had a great idea which was we need to put the university on the hook as the first loss … If the universities are forced to underwrite these degrees and they know that they'll take the first dollar loss up to a certain amount … they'll be much more circumspect about what degrees they force onto people.”

Student loan debt is not a partisan issue it’s an American issue. My discharge petition will bring H.R. 2003 Affordable Loans for Students Act straight to the floor and cap federal student loan interest rates at 2% To be clear: this is not a bailout, this is about making sure Americans who are trying to build a better future don’t have to spend their whole lives trying to pay off their debts. Congressman Jared Moskowitz

I could pay on that for the rest of my life and never pay it off. And that's the con. That's the goal. They never wanted people to pay off their student loans. They wanted a constant supply of passive income for the government.”
