My family made the choice for my son to attend community college for the first 2 years and pay out of pocket. It hurt, but the plan was for him to get through his associates without accumulating any debt. Now there is a push to forgive all college debt. What about those of us who did not rely on loans but used their own money to get an education?
Update" Student loan forgiveness not my idea. Blame the AOC crowd.

Are they going to go back and reimburse me for my college loans that I and the Army paid off???? No one put a gun to their head and made them sign the loan agreement and many abused the loans getting way more than their books and tuition.

CW3 Michael Bodnar - you are correct and it is being abused by the schools and some students, the system needs to be fixed, forgiving loans will not fix the problem only buy votes.

I paid for My own education except for the help I got from the VA but i earned that. My Brother and Sister both paid for their own education also themselves and both worked to earn the money to do so. Not a one of the three of us took a dime from our parents to pay for own own education and none of us owed anyone any money after We graduated not had any of us ever taken a loan. The system now involves parents to pay and I did help for two of My kids both Who also had worked and still had to take out loans. The cost as charged by the colleges has got out of control.

CW3 Michael Bodnar - So only the wealthy and gifted get educations? That's how it was before.

LCpl Sidney Green - Hey warrior, not sure how you came to that conclusion based on what I posted. Everyone gets a crack at using those benefits but the federal gov has no business managing a program of any kind since they cannot manage their way out of a paper bag.

Have you ever noticed every time the Gub'ment says they are going to fund something (ie: tuition costs) those same costs skyrocket within weeks of the announcement? Maybe the better question is "How do we get control of runaway tuition costs for degrees with little to no market value?"

MSgt Steven Holt, NRP, CCEMT-P that's why the federal government has no place managing these things. It's disgusting and the entire program needs to be reformed.
