@CMernka @DebtCrisisOrg "Congress shall establish uniform bankruptcy standards." @StudentLoanJus1

@tan12390 @DebtCrisisOrg Show me in the constitution where it says that

Imagine how many people could save, invest, start businesses, or buy homes without crushing student loan payments.

@CMernka @DebtCrisisOrg Student loan borrowers are taxpayers. And it is a constitutional right to have bankruptcy protections which have been stripped uniquely from student loans.

@DebtCrisisOrg Imagine how many tax payers would have to pay for someone else’s loans

The tired old argument of "pay your loans" is falling short. Everyone knows that the government set up a toxic and failed lending system. Blaming individuals is just cowardice/ignorance.

@jonbrooks True, now talk about the damage from student loans.

Baby boomers now control an estimated $19 TRILLION in real estate wealth. Meanwhile, nearly 80% of Gen Z homebuyers needed financial help from family just to buy a home. Think about what that means. We are rapidly moving from a merit-based housing market to an inheritance-based housing market. If your parents own assets, you have a path in. If they don’t, you’re competing against: • dual incomes • family money • locked-in low-rate owners • institutional capital • and 30 years of asset inflation fueled by falling interest rates This is why younger generations feel economically trapped. Housing didn’t just get expensive. The entire game changed.

@StudentLoanJus1 @jonbrooks @Georgetown Are there any economists with enough integrity to admit that this loan scam has failed? I haven't seen any.

@jonbrooks And John: It's way worse than that. Your loan scam is finished. You should find a new tit to suck. You and your buddies (like Adam Levitin at @georgetown) bled this one dry.

Why are so many people not paying their student loans?

@jonbrooks You don't actually think the student loan system is sustainable? Do you?

@MBAeconomics1 @jonbrooks @DanHaskins25151 They need to end the student loan system and allow these loans to be discharged in bankruptcy. Two possible solutions for financing higher ed: get rid of all government involvement and let the market decide tuition or fully subsidize. The system we have now is broken.

@jonbrooks @DanHaskins25151 Young people are so POOR they have lost all hope of EVER buying a home. If you give up on that dream what incentive do you have to maintain good credit? Just default on the student loans and rent an apartment. The social contract is breaking down.

@4score__7 @jonbrooks Good points. The loan scam is finished. However, bankruptcy rights need to be restored.

@realZacZook @jonbrooks Or because people simply can't afford to pay.

@jonbrooks Because they have been lied to that they will get their loans forgiven by the government.

@jonbrooks Because they can't afford it. What would you pay for first food/rent/mortgage or student loans?

@VivekGRamaswamy (2/2) Where do you stand on returning constitutional bankruptcy rights to the loans, and making the wealthiest colleges pay for discharges? @PlainDealer @clevelanddotcom @AkronBeacon

@VivekGRamaswamy What do you have to say about this, Vivek? (1/2)

Student loans uniquely lack specific consumer protections that exist to protect borrowers from being abused and preyed upon by immoral lenders. One of the most important consumer protections that student loans lack is TRUTH IN LENDING LAWS. What does this mean? It means the Department of Education can LIE to you. They can legally lie to the borrower and the general public because they are under no legal obligation or pressure to tell you the truth. Their claim that the average amount of student loan debt per borrower is “$40,000” is a bold faced LIE and they know it. They know people are trapped in six-figure debt, and they pretend like it doesn’t exist. Remember that they do not have to abide by truth in lending laws and they take full advantage of that loophole and exploit it by pushing propaganda through paid shills in Washington think tanks, captured media and bot farms on the internet.

@Principal_Jon Yes, a constructivist approach often works wonders!

More kids should be building and creating, because information is only useful when it has been tested and used.

@abrongreat @TuckerCarlson @mtnewsguild @mtnewswires @MTNewsDigest @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Conservatives are much better positioned ideologically to bring back bankruptcy rights to student loans. They would be right to claim that student loans are a big government scam and that Democrats in particular are business partners with colleges.

@TuckerCarlson , Let’s get back to what matters: restoring bankruptcy rights to all #studentloans!! Students have suffered. End the scam!! @mtnewsguild @mtnewswires @MTNewsDigest @elonmusk ? @realDonaldTrump ? Many are coming around to agreement; let’s go!! #education 👇🏼

@AwakenedOutlaw What is your funding source if seniors are not paying property taxes. Wouldn't it be better to support younger families with childcare?

What rational arguments are there to the contrary of his observation? No, really. I'd love to hear them because the left apparently believes otherwise.

Student loans. #studentloans #scam

@BTC_for_Freedom The solution to student loans is to end the lending program and to make students loans protected by bankruptcy.

They told an entire generation to go to college, take out loans, get a good job, work hard, save money. Every single piece of that advice now leads to debt, burnout, and a savings account that loses value while you sleep. That’s a betrayal.

@zachtratar Would this be the first 65000 in income protected from taxation?

People who make under $65k per year should pay 0% income tax. It’s absurd we ask them to pay anything at all.
