Reply to comment by What_Yr_Is_IT in Many Americans need Wendy’s dumpster to afford student loan payments without Biden's forgiveness plan: Survey by TheFleshGordon

Got to be honest that’s not a good argument. People bought houses in 2008 because it’s “the American dream”. Then the market crashed & people lost everything. There’s risk in these things. Totally agree that there needed/needs to be way better education in what you’re getting yourself into with college debt & such.

The system is very broken. But why not solve the broken issues now? Even you’re saying let’s just throw money at it now & figure out the rest later. The issue is still going to persist

You can claim bankruptcy on a home and walk away. You can’t do that with student loans.

That same scenario, as of today, those same people are in a new home and a clean credit report

A student is fucked forever.

Touché. To play devils advocate, my argument would be do they take away your diploma if you file bankruptcy? Lol idk. Was good discussion
