Letters to the Editor: If we subsidize farmers, why can't we cancel student debt? (via latimesopinion )
About 40 million borrowers in the U.S. have student loan debts totaling more than $1.6 trillion. They chose to get a college education to achieve their goals of receiving better jobs and wages. This is the American dream.
Other people choose to become farmers, which doesn’t require a degree. Yet they are subsidized by the government with billions of tax dollars.If we can subsidize farmers with 40% of their income, why can’t we help indebted students? The answer is that Republicans help farmers because they need their votes, and college students tend to favor Democrats.
My dad died when I was 13 and left my mother with five children and no job. I joined the Navy when I was 17 and got out at 21, enrolled in college, graduated, got a job and retired 36 years later.Perhaps student borrowers might try serving their country instead of asking their country to serve them.Columnist Jonah Goldberg writes that Biden is wrong about having the power to forgive student loan debt. OK, so let’s have Congress do something. Just as it has done in the past.
