I will say in this economy I can see people having a harder time to pay off loans since work is hard to come by.
I have paid mine off like a responsible person. I was smart and went to a Community College to start and then transfered into a 4 year college where I could focus on my major.
And listen, check the "I'm so good because I care and the rest of you are unfeeling and putting down the underdogs" stuff at the door. I care too. I believe in helping people get ahead. I've mentioned before that I have mentored young women to put themselves in a position to attain financial independence down the road. I see that as SAVING them from a difficult life and I believe education/job training/ motivation is one of the best routes to take for that.
Read the CBO report and all of the age old republican talking points and get back to me on that. Or do you only read the headlines? Really?
Have you paid them off yet or did you welsh?
If someone doesn't have the ability to work, we already have provided medical care for them.
For those who 'can't afford college' or aren't college material, our school system needs to do a better job of training them for trades. We also have lots of things in place to help with college tuition and my own husband didn't get a dime for his college paid for outside of his school loans.
I'm not calling people 'lazy'. I never said that. But I do believe in a system that motivates people to get ahead through their own efforts. The news reports that the ACA isn't doing that.
