3rdnlng Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Before charging Wall Street to pay for student debt maybe University endowments should have to be shaved to do it. After all they took advantage of the easy loan money and raised tuition, etc. in a huge way. 1

Those evil money grubbing Universities making and hoarding obscene profits on the backs of some of our most vulnerable citizens, poor college students. Look at the endowment balance for US universities, over $500 billion as of 2015. That'll make a nice dent in the debt. Tax it at 90% or whatever tax rate libs want on the rich these days. https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=73

Foxx Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 well.... i am probably in the minority on this but... i agree to some extent on college loan debt. there should be no way in hell for a 17 year old to have to face the daunting realization that if they want to get the education they desire that it will initially cost them $250K in loan guarantees to get that education. i am going to assume that this is a 6 year education for the sake of argument purposes here, 4 yrs. undergrad work and 2 yrs. grad work. today, the undergrad work comes at a cost of roughly 5% with the grad work weighing in @ roughly 6.5% (low numbers) to pay that loan back. there are a great many factors involved that can affect what you owe and how much you have to pay but generally, depending on whether the loans are subsidized or not can greatly affect the rate at which you obtain your loans. so.... 250K with a various repayment terms: 5 years/60 monthly payments @ 5% : Monthly: $4,833.20 Total Principal Paid: $250,000 Total Interest Paid: $39,992.02 it is estimated that you will need an annual salary of at least $566,137 to be able to afford to repay this loan. 10 year/120 monthly payments @5%: Monthly: $2,651.64 Total Principal Paid: $318,196.47 Total Interest Paid: $68,196.47 it is estimated that you will need an annual salary of at least $318,196 to be able to afford to repay this loan. 30 year/360 monthly payments @5%: Monthly: $1,342.05 Total Principal Paid: $483,141.39 Total Interest Paid:$233,141.39 it is estimated that you will need an annual salary of at least $161,046 to be able to afford to repay this loan. the above numbers are only for 5% interest rate so the actual numbers will be slightly more. this is tantamount to indentured servitude. unless you are hired to an outstanding job right out of graduation, one that pays you an astronomical salary, you have set yourself up for a lifetime of indentured servitude. it's kind of ***** to my way of thinking. don't get me wrong, i don't think forgiving the debt is the right way to tackle this issue but strapping a 23 yr. old with these prospects isn't right either.

Simple. Don't chalk up a debt of that amount. Start out in Jr. College. Finish your undergraduate degree at a school that doesn't cost that much. Get a job while in graduate school. Other alternatives are to get the military to pay for it or claim you are part Cherokee. Seriously, as an employer obtaining your Masters without accumulating a lot of debt would impress me in an interview. 3

Both the borrowing and the lending at this level are ridiculous. From a credit standpoint it's worse than the mortgage meltdown of '08. At least those loans were somewhat secured by a piece of property. In the case of student debt, it's secured only by the Federal government since 2010 with no other collateral needed. So right on the heels of Fannie/Freddy, Obama and the dems create a new fed loan program and ratchet up the unsecured lending. Sounds very familiar. College for everyone just like home ownership for everyone. This time though, there are no evil banks on which to lay blame.
