“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”
― Alexander Fraser Tytler

there should be a big tax incentive to companies to pay off students debt as part of thier salary pre tax as a buissness expense up to 10K a year say

so company is turning a profit , ok give employees who qualify a pre tax student debt payment ,make it something where you have to stay 2 years and your 3rd year you start getting 10K a year off your student debt paid by the company , might increase employee retention.

people who have it all paid off could be earning it in a education fund that they or their kids can use for tuition
probably et more people going back for a masters that way.

It is just the demorats buying votes.

Yes, we were in a program for 10 years to get this done. But she would have been working anyway, so why not take advantage of the program?



You’re saying that if you were eligible, you would have turned it down? Maybe, you would have…..but we didn’t see the point of turning it down when it helped our financial situation.

Student loan forgiveness is a slap in the face of those college graduates who struggled and sacrificed in order to pay off their loans.

It's pure BS.

If you home school your kids are you exempt from school taxes?

I paid as I attended college. Worked two jobs besides school for several years. Had no loan to pay
when the diploma was handed to me. The College of The Ozarks is a 100% work it off. The students
work on campus or the colleges numerous sites. Great success for the graduates for they realize what
work and dedication is. It is located near Branson MO. Extremely friendly to Veterans and Military.
Loan forgiveness is nothing more than buying votes! Just more handouts!
I spent my last 30 years in the work force with the Eaton Corporation. They paid for your college, but
you also put in your time. I took a few classes even though I had the degree. It enhanced my knowledge.
and was to their benefit.
Free College, look at California. Would not care to have my 401K based on their budgets.
