>I didn't say it's preparing them for adulthood. Thanks. > It's a start in preventing predatory lenders Doesn't loan forgiveness just encourage MORE lending? Does a rational person base their lending decisions on a chance of politically precarious one-off presidential forgiveness? >trapping 18 year olds in loans they'll never get rid of. Should we cancel child support debts for any 18 year old who knocked up a girl after she begged for it? Just trying to figure out when 18 year olds are allowed to be held responsible for their debts. A child is also a big gift and investment worthy of society investing in, so if education is worth society paying for without 'trapping' the 18 year old, then we can also excuse 18 year olds of 'predatory' child support. ---------- RE (below): I can't help comment on the drop-dead-laughing hilariousness of suggesting these federal loans are 'predatory' while simultaneously you denied my suggestion that we eliminate this 'predatory' loan program. You want to perpetuate a program you find 'predatory' and possibly 'malicious' while encouraging EVEN MORE lending. Your refusal to consider cancel the debt of a guy who gets 'trapped' by a voluntary decision with a baby mama shows this has nothing to do with cancelling the poorly counseled debt of 18 year olds and everything to do with pandering to your favored group at the cost of the blue collar worker and his family. |

The average person has more loans than were forgiven and the plan included more than just forgiveness. Again, it's a start.
> Should we cancel child support debts for any 18 year old who knocked up a girl after she begged for it?

You're taking this to the extreme position that I want us to hold 18 year olds responsible for nothing ever. Also you seem to not understand that malicious contracts exist or that they can be invalidated even when signed. Maybe you just don't believe it's predatory in this case. IDK. Anyway, I refuse to entertain that student loans are comparable to child support so I'm done here.
