This is just yet another thing I constantly warned my kids about before sending them off to college. Just use an online repayment calculator to show them how much extra it will cost and how long it will take them to pay off credit card debt if one just makes the minimum payment each month:
A perfect example of what poor choices can result in. I went through the article, and am curious, what profession is Dr. Brooks in ? What is her salary ? And what kind of idiocracy is continuing to rack up debt , as a form of protest ? And this individual has a Doctorial degree ?! What a complete and total waste of money and time, for her.
It says she's an educator, a school principal in South LA, California, so it's very likely she has an EdD (aka crayon curriculum - they hand them out like participation trophies ), not a PhD.

And this dolt spent $240k to get one. SMH...and people actually defend this loan handout.
Another in an endless series of stories about entitled people who feel their student loans should all be forgiven, regardless of the circumstances.
The lady in this case appeared to take out additional loans on top of the original loans, in order to stop payment as a form of protest? Whatever that means.
I would not be surprised if she used some of that money to fund her personal expenses and lifestyle all those years and now wants to be forgiven of all of it. Ludicrous beyond words.
i just love how media think people are still gulible and will feel compasionate when you start a story with "she wants her children to go to college with out getting loans" lol nobody cares what you want pay your loans and work like everybody else 240000 for what degree of course we will not see that and see how much she was taking for her life style. but media need to fill me b.s. like i care of what she will do when her loans are forgiven
Anyone who thinks that the Progressives were going to stop at 10K in forgiveness is just being naive. If Biden's EO passes the inevitable court challenges, expect additional rounds of forgiveness. It will be a case of no loan left behind. As I am sure that there are a few people with 800K in loans that need forgiveness too.
If this somehow goes through Congress again, they won't go with Baby Steps, the Progressives will go full court press because they know after January it isn't going to happen. If it ends up after November, a Lame Duck Congress can be a very dangerous thing if a party has the majority and Presidency, and a goal to pass every Progressive bill you can imagine.

We'll call it "Bidencare"
Then people can have Obamacare with free health insurance and bidencare with free college.

First of all, congrats on taking a low paying teachers job and climbing the ladder and getting a low paying position of a school principle. But, $200,000 in debt, what the hell were you thinking?
Typical idiot. They live in a fantasy world, bought everything the politicians and the left have told them, and never once thought about all the debt they were incurring. Think - how is the lowly job as a principle was ever gonna pay it back. Why, because.... she lives in a fantasy world
I'm guessing she is a Democrat, who was influenced by all the dems running for office saying they were going to forgive student debt. She gambled on the campaign rhetoric, and lost.
