Biden's student loan forgiveness plan is a 'horrible idea,' says Kevin O’Leary 

Faculty the university. 👎 They are the ones creating classes that are useless & majors that student can't never use

Absolutely correct. Too many paper-pushers.

What about the ones who are unable to have an opportunity to get a GI bill.

The GI bill is a return on a service essentially. Its not really the same thing. This is getting money for free without accounting for people who already paid of their student loans or those who didn't attend college or university because they couldn't afford it. If education was free far more people would attend. Why does the worst of the worst generation get the perk others were denied?

Well also why would they. Raise tuition and Gov will pay. As soon as the debt's are forgiven, tuition will go up. Because they can.

@@froguniverse2419 No that's bad economics. You think inflation is bad, wait until student loans are completely forgiven. In addition, it sets a dangerous precedent of not honoring contractual obligations. That's dangerous because if people can be bailed out from this, then it will spread to other things as well. Lastly, why should a tax payer who didn't take out the loan, or paid for their children's education be forced to pay for others?

@@Mikebuddy2229 On the contrary, removing the student loan program and not forgiving debt like OP said will force colleges to lower their tuition costs so that the average American family will be able to afford it. It’s able to be done in most other first world countries, so we should be able to do it too.

@@zacharymladinich3410 Well said. I completely agree with you.

@@zacharymladinich3410 except this is not what Biden is doing.

Hit the bottomline: 87% of Americans who did NOT have student loan DEBT - now DO to the tune of $2K (except for politicians and government workers… we pickup the tab on ALL their taxes… too!)

Lies

I would issue student loan forgiveness as President of the United States, but only because I have a plan to fund the program and cover the expenses.

I'm right there with you! This policy is maddening. So unfair. UnAmerican!

Totally agree! For myself! How about reimbursement?

Good luck my friend!

@@JIMMYJAMES156821 I can only dream….and dream…and dream some more😮‍💨

Kudos good job but no. That’s silly

And $10,000 is nothing for college. It cost $10,000 for just room and board for a semester

If only Americans were smart enough they wouldn't half the taxes they pay right now . It's going to foreign countries you fools

That's called be a responsible adult without having a government hold your hand. You and I are the minority, the nation wants to sit on their ass with their hands out. My wife and I did not go to college (mostly because their are tons of jobs paying 50-80k without a degree) we own a nice house, 3 cars some toys etc. I say if you didn't go to colledge, you simply are exempt from this tax....

@@jmabs5096 I went to college 2x graduated 2x and I’m paying off my student loans, I pay about $40,000+ in taxes I would rather have them clear student debt or at least pay an amount for us. They signed a 40 billion dollar contract recently and that money isn’t for us

@Up Urz I’d rather not pay for wars and CEO’s salary’s and have taxes go to education and jobs. Politicians working for me and not companies and defense manufacturers in their district. But at this point that’s a made up utopia.

This would have worked before but they changed it and it’s you and I who back the loans now - the government is the lender LoL

@@krassimirpetrov7131 Schools or banks should be the lender but they want no part of it. Instead they can virtue signal all day long and don’t have to answer for the risk. This is liberal politicians protecting the liberal indoctrination machine. They have no interest in addressing the real issue because they ARE the issue.

So teach’Em better scotty

I knew better.. it's not an excuse.

While we are at it. Treat it like every other loan out there. Dont allow the loan if “you wont have the means to pay it back(aka cant take out $20k a semester to get a gender studies degree whos average salary is under $50k). Make the borrower pay a small percentage(10-20%) and never loan out more than the cost(tuition) and charge interest &mortgage payments as it goes so the borrow understands it hurts to make payments. Make better decisions of it it is worth it. And dont let “predatory lenders” loan out more money than someoen can afford to pay back and maybe we would have less student debt. Ive experienced both sides. I went back to school in 2017-2020. I paid for it out of pocket. All the way up until i realized its the greatest loan ever, because it breaks all traditional rules of loans and has 0% interest for up to 6 months after borrowed. I wish i had taken student loans and instead bought a house in 2017. I would be way ahead had i just borrowed more than i could afford. Used that money for a down payment on a house. And now i would be looking at getting $10k forgiven for nothing. Fact is, the government backed loans have created the student debt problem by basically guaranteeing you a loan when you dont or shouldnt get it. Now we want more government to fix a problem government intervention caused. The fix is already on the table. You have sensible people telling students “college isnt an end all be all, and that you dont want to go into debt for a degree” where as when i was graduating(2009), i was basically told you have to go to college. It was spoon fed down my throat as part of our english grade was based on us applying to colleges and for fafsa

Right, people are so ignorant. Everyone should be required to take a minimum of 2 economics class at their local community College.

How does this solve the problem then? Will this make it cheaper? This has the opposite effect. Tution will go up and students will borrow more. Your sister signed for it why should I pay for her debt?

College prices and guaranteed federal loans go hand in hand. Prices are the way they are because colleges know people can take out guaranteed loans to pay for them. Also college has become more about “an experience” rather than education. My college just 5 years after I graduated looked nearly unrecognizable due to all types of new sports facilities, student housing, ect. What you are starting to see now is online college and specialized programs like Coursera that are starting to compete with college programs that are much cheaper. If only the job market would catch up.

did she take out the loan for that amount ? or did someone else sign the paper ? asking for a friend.

​@@viralmemes9213 you're missing the point dolt, nobody complains about the greedy capitalistic colleges that are hiking up rates or charging thousands of dollars for books. you wanna blame the individual was trying to get a degree so they can get a job while the corporations are paying less.

Do you think this is a good move or bad move

My father fought in WW2 and served from 1940 to 47. He was one of the recipients of the GI bill. He didn’t go to college but learned carpentering skill. This Marxist just wants to make everything a race issue. My wife and I agreed we wanted me to go to grad school. We paid back w interest around $46,000 in student loans. In the meantime we had 4 children, bought a home. I’m just a regular guy w no high I Q but a work ethic and great wife. I find giving money to a au back a college loan wo requiring giving back insulting

Most people in college are Chinese. China sends there kids here. And now they get free education and Americans have to pay for it.

Good for you! Congratulations, have some great credit as a reward and go buy a house! Hopefully forgiveness gives others a step in the same direction.

I agree 100% , it is not just irresponsible, it immoral

Exactly

It's so true. The loan services would talk you into the worst deal.

These people are immune to irony and allergic to self awareness.

The real reason only the corporatists and their pr counterparts in media are mad is they don't want the general public to know that these are choices being made, not something that can't be done based on economic fundamentals. They're using inflation as an argument to stifle any policies that free or empower the middle and working class. These are meager amounts of forgiveness compared to the millions they are forgiven for. They're making noise because canceling all debt will free people from their grasp. An economically healthy individual will have more choices and won't stay in abusive or low wage jobs to maintain a living. The truth is, they don't want a society where the majority is economically healthy and educated; it'll be too much competition for those with no vision or creativity. They want the majority unstable so they can exploit them. Notice; it's all the usual suspects who have been given much more from government or have crashed the economy. Also notice, the media is making sure not to platform anyone who is for these programs. The truth is, because these people cower Corporate Dems, they do the bare minimum when it should be more.

To be fair, he’s not telling students to not use the program, I’m sure he would tell any student who opted out of the program that they’re an idiot. If the government is giving you cash YOU TAKE! Doesn’t mean the program is a bad idea in itself, however if they do enact a program you might as well take advantage of it

U and Tom are incorrect. Nic is right. If u dont understand the distinction that's on u!

He’s certainly good with the bank bailout

College shouldn’t be only option school counselors promote

It's a scam. In many cases (non-vocational) expensive degrees are just a piece of paper to get through the door, when this could instead be accomplished through (paid) apprenticeships and training programs related to the specific job.

It’s called a union apprenticeship…

Nearly every business could apply for apprenticeship assistance and offer this. It used to be an employer would train you up...for the past few decades they expect you should be ready to hit the ground running day 1. Business needs to step up; they are part of the problem.

@@maskdwn4445 those are competitive and limited. You can't just raise your hand and you're in lol. Mostly trades right now...it should be obvious not every person can, or should, work in a trade. More unions, yes. More variety of apprenticeship, yes.

Classic delusion.

Lets not forget he brought up the race card in it. Its a habit

Yeah. Ef off. If free college already exist, then join the military and earn it.

Just because you or others suffered from something terrible doesn’t mean they should have to suffer also.

No, those of us who have already “suffered” for paying back our loans now get to “suffer” for it twice now…. Makes sense, alternatively,maybe my generation needs to learn personal responsibility instead of expecting everything being handed to them.

My college degree didn’t guarantee a good paying job like in my parents generation.

The one biggest mistake college students (graduates) can make is leaving their college campus without a job. All colleges have career offices that will do whatever they can to find suitable employment for their graduates. But only if the student shows up to get that help. I am guessing now, but I believe that the career offices will also assist alumni with job searches, but only if those who need the help reach out to get it.

@@lancecdcw maybe you should have gotten a better degree.

@@zz449944 you're expecting people that got worthless degrees to now take responsibility to ask for help in getting a job? Surely you jest.

@@lancecdcw Why would a degree do that? You have to intelligently pick a degree that gives you marketable skills that are in demand. Also your own politicians are to blame for the massive glut of graduates with certain useless degrees. Federally guaranteed student loans. Preferential and reduced admission standards.

this is why i don't go to college

And the interest rates on the loans. These should be interest free to prevent college being cheaper for the rich families who can afford to pay it off immediately, rather than needing to pay double or triple the cost over time.

The reason it is out of control is the federal government took over student loans and made them much easier to get so college kept raising tuition

Native Americans getting kicked off their land, Chinese Americans get sub standard wages during the building of the transcontinental railroad, Japanese Americans getting put into internment camps during WW2. Everyone feels at some level that America owes them something and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Today, America is a different place. Most of our youth don't hold the belief of our ancestors and having anger and vitriol to people who are not slave owners or racists is a self-defeating cause. At some point people are going to have to leave the past in the past and stop rehashing it and being hypersensitive to supposed microaggressions. African Americans are not the only ones struggling in today's economy. We are all struggling, slavery or not. Free government handouts is tanking our nation. The gap has closed tremendously on race, gender and the opportunity toward acquisition of wealth. We need to stop using the past as a leveraging point on why the government should owe us free money.

Okay, then how do you feel about food stamps. I bust my ass just to put food on the table while other people get free food every month. What about subsidized housing. I have to pay rent out of pocket every month. So going by your logic, I deserve a free house and free food every month.

People are going to have different circumstances and qualify for different programs whining about working two jobs and not using those programs is a "you" problem.

I am a student lender and I was never forced into taking anything. When you apply for loans and aid you receive a bill breaking down all the aid you can receive including loans. You have the option to opt out of any program or loan before signing the promissory contract. As tragic as it is people need to pay the loans of even if it knocks them down to poverty level. Going to college was never a guarantee of success and people need to stop acting as if they are entitled for success.

@@nickdesanto6119 stop the corporate bullsh*t talk buddy. It’s predatory government loaning and you know it.

@@ramboslice7322 how are they forced? Who pressed them against the table saying 'sign'. Wasn't the government or the university, you had to go to them to get the loan they didn't go to you. The parent? Most parents I knew of were skeptical of college. School counselors? I remember my counselor saying ' don't take these loans out, go to a trade or a community college and if you want to go to university you already have most of the classes done at a cheeper cost'. The fact is we made a mistake and it is no one's responsibility to bail us out. To be honest no one should be bailed out not even companies.

@@nickdesanto6119 of course they didn’t force anyone’s hand but they might as well have.

Just take out this student loan and go pursue their dreams and everything will all be a happy ending….It’s a fantasy and it’s not fair to these young kids that you know damn well don’t fully understand the full ramifications the toxic debt that they’re signing up for. That’s why more parents need to educate their kids to learn a high skilled trade or apprenticeship and leave those stupid greedy overpriced universities alone.

@@ramboslice7322 that is what parents are for, that is what school counselors are for. You talk as if the kid them selves sign for the loans but, at least for the first few years, the loans need an accredited cosigner. Are you saying the parents are so naive to think all they need is to sign the loan for their kid and the kid gets a gold ticket to life, or to not be responsible enough to have their kids understand the risk involved? The parents are already involved.

I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination and now my money is going to be TAKEN and be given to those who should have never taken a loan in the first place.

I paid my way through college working as an auto adjuster for a major insurance company. Majority of my coworkers were hired on the basis of having no experience, but having a bachelor's degree in "something". I told my nephew those were the degrees to avoid, as no one gets a degree with the intentions of becoming an auto adjuster. I got degrees in aviation and accounting. My degrees all yielded very positive ROIs.

You have to be strategic in life and that includes when selecting a degree. I was practical in my selection and it definitely paid off.

What was your major? Why not tell everyone what your mistake was or is your comment cap.

If you go to university google up what you should expect to make. I’m going to probably major in Finance, however I am taking classes in enterprise systems and computer science aswell.

And this is a big problem with the student-pay system. It's about getting as many people into courses as possible (many with limited value, or oversupply to what jobs are out there) no matter what to get their money. If college was government paid they'd be selective about what they teach, who they admit and strategic in what courses are funded (i.e. what the country actually needs). It would mean a lot less people go to college, but there would be lots of (paid) apprenticeships and training courses for other jobs which don't really need a university education.

I don’t care what parties are involved, if the government is behaving in this way it is highly illegal not to mention exceptionally immoral and those who participate in such behavior should be held accountable for their actions. Justice is suppose to be unbiased (hence the blindfold) however many in our society seem to think it’s only needed when it’s pro “their team” yet screams the loudest when it goes against them. What we tend to forget is that while we may support one side doing something unethical and illegal, it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and those tactics be used against us. The goal should always be to get the pendulum back to center.

People need to understand why education is a good thing, and it seems like most of this country is too dumb to understand why. My boss never went to college, but he gets to benefit out of having a worker who did (i.e. me), and because of that, I developed problem solving and math skills needed for this job that he constantly needs help with. Thanks to my computer science degree, now I'm developing custom software for our company to use. These all happened because I went to college, and it benefits the rest of my company who didn't go to college. Stop thinking about you, and think more about your community, because everything boomerangs back to you when you help your community.

You're going to pay for all of it and more. You have no rather. You're not in the club.

@@wilfredruffian5002 fair. What I’m trying to say is, I would rather pay for something that is actually benefitting people rather than waste money that goes to people who don’t deserve it.

I'd rather pay for neither 😉

@@puppetmaster1403 well good thing I didn’t ask you 😳😏

@@Johnny_Appleseed_ You pay that in taxes now to the Biden administration.

its predatory lending. Guaranteed student loan should have a one percent interest rate at the most

You signed for the loan….. did you not know how a loan works???? Have some dignity and pay it back … don’t look for a government hand out.

​@@scottmelton3092 are you insane? Do you know how many billions of dollars rich people DON'T pay back every year? Do you know how much money rich people DONT pay in taxes or interest because congress borrows money from Social Security to give to those rich organizations? And then those same rich organizations turn around and hike up their prices to screw every day Americans? And then when they can't pay for their student loans you want them to be held accountable? Like the government doesn't give away billions and billions and billions of dollars to rich people every day while crapping on the middle class in low income people? Kevin Oleerys wife MURDERED a man with her speedboat while drunk and got off..... Of course, he wants low income, middle-class people to pay back the debt because he's the one benefiting from it. Get the hell out of here sheep .

@@scottmelton3092 Here's the thing, there is no possible way for me to pay it back, ever. I will die with this over my head.

@@andreabradley5837 I’m sorry to hear that, try your best and the help is probably coming from the government. Maybe a lesson learned on how the world works.

Control? It's voluntary.

@@justinedse3314 the whole construct of college was to disqualify people from job positions that didn't go. You rarely need the skills of learned in college to do the specific job. They control amount of people that can go to school by creating a whole debt system for the less wealthy.

@@justinedse3314 Wrong. It's a strong arm tactic. It's not that the say you can get a great job if you pay $100k for college. They clearly say you will not even be considered unless you pay for a degree. It is wrong on many levels. Jobs should be about a persons ability to do a job- period.

@@UTAH100 Wrong, Elon Musk will hire people without degrees if they're competent and can do the job. Many others will too. I'm not sure who you're referring to when you say "they." You don't know all 8 billion people in the world, neither do the talking heads, and neither does some study. Therefore you are wrong. It's also your decision to sign a legal contract with a bank just the same as a mortgage. Don't sign a legal document if you're not prepared to pay back the money like a real adult.

@@justinedse3314 And Elon Musk will also treat you horribly and violate your rights as a worker. In the end, who really wins in either scenario? Not any of us, it's those who already have the money, those who are in control.

G O N E..Average citizen is an artist on Weed..

I want to see Kevin's tax return and then talk about what's "fair".

Good tip here- send her to a community college for her first 2 years than transfer into a state university. You will save a ton and she will still get a degree. Be sure to select a major that will be useful. Do some research now, or pay later.

What do you expect, he's a liberal...

20k is base pay. Factor in bah, bas, tricare…. We’re paid pretty damn well.

Sometimes it’s not what you make but how much you don’t spend….Military get Free Housing and Free Food and when they are really risking their lives in combat they don’t pay taxes….so that 20k/year isn’t what it seems

It’s not one or the other

@@jgetscensored7837 retirement benefits including social security are only factored by base pay the allowances don't contribute to those at all.

@@rizzle6842 ignorance is bliss. Stay blissful my friend. For what it’s worth to this conversation, I did choose to get out and I’m getting out within a years time. Choose, as in a choice…. Not sure how you figure I or anyone else is a slave when we have the right to decide our own fate. The upper leadership is lack luster at best. But the benefits are attractive. It has nothing to do with needing structure or seeking power. The attraction comes from being able to retire at 40 years old. Some of the best medical insurance one could ever hope for, and it’s free. Free college. How much was your degree? I bet it was a lot more expensive than mine. The experiences, memories, and brotherhood…. It’s stuff you would never be able to handle or understand. I had a great 8 years in it, but it’s time for me to get out and enjoy my time on this planet. Even at eight years, I’m going to collect a paycheck for the rest of my life. About $30k per year. I could go out and get some nonsense $70k per year job and still be making six figures.

This is a bailout for the wealthy and billion dollar colleges. Meanwhile working class families are struggling.

Oh boy we have another one

Yes it’ll only lead to more inflation and all of us taxpayers have to pay for it too ! And more inflation !

@@victorg9164 Yes, another one with basic common sense and idea of fairness.

Theirs no fairness when you went to school it was also coming out of American taxes

I thought it was all direct lending now? I have a $1,600 a month student loan payment.

@@eprofessio Subsidized or unsubsidized, or PLUS for graduates with higher interest rates. The money comes from banks. Subsidized just means that it's deferred while being a full time undergrad student. When we pay it, its managed by Sallie Mae or whoever, but we owe the money AND INTEREST TO the banks. Thats why no president will sign an executive order to forgive our loans except for disability or token amounts. They're not going to end the forever windfall for the banks. You should know from your loan papers which banks you owe. I did.

Except I’m sure Levin O’Leary was all for that bailout!

Help those in need. Such an evil concept.

NAH. Nothing wrong with what Kevin is saying here.

Your choice not to use it

Okay child shooter

Me too, know we get to pay for there education, and they make more money.

Or you can still go to college.

@@laartwork If I do, are you gonna pay off my loan, LJ?

@@rockolin2573 yes they make more money to pay for your services or products or ever you do. So you don't want a stronger economy? Well I don't know what you do but know you aren't an economics professor. But you may be an executive at the bank that is collecting on these loans. Not sure why you are ok with then making all the money rather than citizens. Hmmm

@@garretth.middleton9479 why would anyone other than you pay for your loans? Take some responsibility for yourself. Join the adult world

Evidence?

@@cultofktulu8738 The income "limit" for a couple is $300k!!!!!! Single $150k!!!! Statistics show that most, over 70% of student debt loan owed is by middle to upper middle or upper socioeconomic class It's just another handout

"Government workers" get salaries and pensions paid for with taxpayer money. They're not the ones suffering. It is we, the taxpaying private citizen workforce, that are the ones being robbed blind by our corrupt and ineffective institutions to pay for their lavish lifestyles.

False

There should be only an extremely limited number of "government workers." The government doesn't produce or develop anything.

what do you mean government workers suffer??? U.S. government workers, especially in states like California, pretty much live like untouchable gods with great benefit and pension. They don't do much work, and can screw up however they want, and still suffer almost no consequences.

@@nomooon California is a different breed. I’m referring to states like Kentucky and other municipalities that are losing pensions

The number 2 biggest scam in America behind religion, is college. At least 30 collegiate sports programs, generate enough revenue EVERY YEAR, to send every kid in America to college, for free. Just think about that.

Perfect point I have said this in similar way

You are one bright lady.

Well, we don’t teach these kids that. It’s the equivalent of giving out loans in a special education classroom. Immoral. Lastly here’s the number of degrees that have a salary equal to the cost of education…. Nursing… engineering. There ya go. That’s the whole list. Everyone else like doctors and lawyers take out about double the salary to get that job. At this point, only pain will teach people. We will continue to lose medical staff until we can’t take care of our own. Enjoy.

College isn't a business unless your definition of business is pretty much every institution that deals with a budget. For-profit colleges are businesses. The simple fact is college was cheaper for previous generations and there were more substantial benefits for getting a degree. College is more expensive and less helpful for getting you ahead. Was this inevitable or did we screw something up? If it was inevitable, sucks for young people I guess. It still puts a hole in this dude's generational argument since early generations had to pay back much less with relatively higher wages.

O the poor lawyers and doctors

@@edwardmilano4610 remember those words when you wait 6 months to see a specialist.

Most horrifying thing to the poor as well…

That's also somewhat Biden was planning on doing. He mentioned that there was going to be more accountability on Universities for tuition rates

@@Blaze6432 That would be a good start. Also one thing O’Leary is missing is back generations ago you went to college for less AND pretty much guaranteed a decent job/wage. Nowadays you go 100k in debt and companies pay you $18 an hour because you don’t have work experience. Good luck paying your loans, raising a family, dealing with inflation with those wages. Sad times

Yes, but make the college's and banks pay it off, not the working poor!

All talk about college never push for trade. People should be laid out with all the options so they can make an informed decision. Glad I am aware now I can pass on the knowledge.

It is effectively free if you are DRAFTED into the military and forced to fight. The point remains that white middle class society received an economic boost from the GI bill when blacks were left out. That created a wealth gap that exists to this day where minorities are also disproportionately impacted by the college debt. Providing some debt relief benefits the entire economy.

Exactly!!! GI Bill was not free for me!! 5.5 years and 3 deployment (99-04)

Spoken like someone who works and pays taxes. Thank you
