Why should the government pay totally disabled people to obtain a higher education if they are too disabled to work upon graduation?

You are one car accident or diagnosis away from being disabled. If you look at it that way, why does anyone go to college?

Yes, I am one of those people. The SSA used my education against me to kick me off disability even though I had the education when I was put on the disability in the first place.

I have been condemned by society to live with no income until I die and burn in the lake of fire forever. God through the authorities He established over me (Romans 13) condemned me to a state of unrepentant sin. There's no condemnation for those in Christ. Therefore, I was never in Christ.

My student loans have grown to maybe 180 or 190 thousand now? I have not kept up. The interest keeps piling up, although the interest was frozen I think because of covid.

I went to college because the government made me as part of welfare reform. I never wanted to take out the loans. I didn't even want to be in college anymore.

The employers have refused to employ me while society bears false witness against me regularly and claims that I don't want to work and I refuse to take a job.

The employment expert for the SSA even said that no employer would ever find the accommodations needed for me to have a job to be reasonable. All jobs were ruled out. I lost my disability income anyway.

Had I not graduated from college then I wouldn't have it held against me.

As I recall, polls prior to this showed the majority of respondents against eliminating student loan debts. Apparently their opinions matter not - even if they as taxpayers end up paying for this. So much for the government working for them.

I’m surprised this was done without having to go through Congress. Is this another example of absolute Executive power?

Another reason why Presidential elections matter.

This is just the first of a wave of similar actions, IMHO....

$5.8B In Student Debt Wiped Out For More Than 300,000 Borrowers

Do you have a severe disability? Unfortunately, having Biden as our president doesn't count.

"Long standing restrictive rules" ???



Hmmmm can I get my mortgage paid off even though I willingly and with sound mine entered into a legal contract with the bank?



I smell a new cottage industry popping up and that is insurance to pay off your loan if you cannot.



It really is crazy though that 323,000 people can cost the taxpayers $5.8 Billion! I don't have enough brain power to figure out how much debt per person that equals out to be but it seems like an astronomical number??



Then again when it comes to the Biden spending spree what is $5.8 Billion? That is pocket change these days...

Joe kissed goodbye almost a billion dollars in helicopters in Afghanistan after the pullout... So, why can't he cover this

What's even more sickening is that the last "covid bill" that passed was for a fortune. And, word was that only 6% of it actually went towards covid.

I don't believe the government should be giving away money. However - for the billions that bill was worth. We could have all been given $10k-$20k EACH, and it would have cost less than the crap they spent.

It's all a gimmick.
