Cancel High Cost College

First let me begin with this talk of canceling student debt. How is this fair to the millions of parents who sacrificed their savings, second mortgaged their homes to send their kids to school? How is this fair to the millions of us who were students, took on a student loan, grants, worked part time jobs to get thru school and then got greeted with the first bill ten months after college was over? It took me 10 years to payoff my student loan, how about you? I for one, am not willing to pay for someone else’s debt.

Attending college is a personal choice. One that should be thoroughly thought out, not just about cost but results. Is college really necessary? Look at all the trade schools and 2 year specialty schools available! How many successful (and wealthy) people did not attend or dropped out of college!

The more important question should be…. why is college so damn expensive and drawn out? Why can’t a person wanting to be…. say an accountant, take basic english/report writing and the required courses for accounting? If the public schools were teaching kids properly they would enter higher education, without having to take ”unnecessary” filler courses for them to be ”well rounded” academically!

Why are top colleges sitting on millions of dollars in dowries? Why are top athletic schools paying millions for stadiums, league fees and coaches! That money could be better spent reducing schooling costs.

Again, this is a slap in the face to Middle and even so called Upper Middle Class. We may make a good living but taxes, cost of living and every day expenses keep rising! Some are living pay check to pay check and are one unplanned emergency away from financial disaster!

Congress should bring in these schools and make them open their books and start explaining! This is where change and reform should begin!
