I'm just going to be happy for those whose college loans were decreased. Full stop.

No buts...

No whatabouts...

No malarky...

I sure am glad so many Americans had their college loans decrease!

Full stop.

1. Me too.

I paid all of mine in full. Took me seven years. But I did it. And I'll be perfectly happy if no one else has to go through that, or pay those outrageous interest rates.

2. It took us decades to pay ours off. I am elated to save someone else from that.

3. Me, too. It took 20 years to pay off mine, but I could afford it

because it wasn't a crushing debt the size of a mortgage the way some are now. So I'm glad if some people are getting relief from that burden. And fuck anybody who's mad just because someone else got something they didn't get.

4. It too hubs 15 years...and I am delighted too that Biden did this...hubs went to a private

school (kidding) the elitist Manhattan College. While I went to a state school( UCONN) so had no debt. That would not be possible now.

5. Me too. I paid as I went with scholarships and part time work.

I think working while an undergrad helped me stay disciplined. And I was fortunate enough to be "smart enough" (just barely) to go to college. I'm happy for those getting relief.

6. There's always some group on a line, date, or event that you miss or are part of.

That’s how life works. Maybe you missed the bullet, some times you are right on target. That’s life. Not a Biden agenda.

10. Absolutely

I'm hearing a lot of whatabouttery on this.

And my question is, "Okay, I'm listening. What do you suggest we do differently? If there's a better way to do this I'm all for it."

But nobody I've seen is offering any alternatives. Just complaining.

So DU, is there a better way?

[Bettie]

7. Me too

I really don't understand people who are angry that someone else gets a break.

8. It seems the world can be divided...

between these 2 groups: those who can empathize with the joy, relief, pain of others, and those who can't.

We are all connected.

I bet there is a pretty good alignment in the US with political party!

9. Me too

after I graduated and worked two jobs to get my husband through law school (we both had student loans), it took us another 6 years to pay off our loans...and because of that he and I agreed we would do whatever it took to make sure our children graduated college/law school debt free, and they did..every generation wants better for the next...thank you Joe Biden..my grandchildren will not have to carry the burden of debt my husband and I had to carry...

11. What kind of attitude is that?

A damn good one, IMO.

[notinkansas]

12. It's a start.

More needs to be done.

13. Damn straight!
