    Alumni – Dawsonville, Ga.”][vc_column_text]“It is immoral to force another person, especially the poor, to pay for another person’s debt without their consent.  Universities with raise tuition that is already too high.  I paid off my wife’s student loans, my Baylor loans and plan to help my 2 kids with theirs as well.  This is called being personally responsible.  I’m a psychologist and work with people who live at or slightly above the poverty line – $30,000-$40,000 per year.  They are rightly upset that they are paying for school loans for a student who earns up to $250,000.”

    “I believe people are responsible for their obligations.  To force another person to pay the debt of another is essentially theft.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Carlie Brown
    Junior – Mendon, Mass.”][vc_column_text]“It seems like a great idea on the surface, but the more the government continues to hand out ‘free’ money, the more our economy will continue to tank (and increase inflation – though I recognize there are several factors that contribute to inflation),” Mendon, Mass. junior Carlie Brown said. “I would love to not have to pay off all of my student loans, but I took the money therefore I need to pay it back. We are not helping the young adults in this country learn financial responsibility by ‘forgiving’ loan and debt repayments. You borrow money, you pay it back along with the interest you agreed to when you got the loan.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Navigate back to Reader Takes[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
