Why can't those who have jobs simply start paying more taxes, and those without jobs enlist in the military; after 6 years of service in the military at 75% pay their debt can be considered paid. Why are all the solutions give, waive, pass on and hand out? These people agreed to a loan they should pay it back. Its a darn shame we lent these people money to begin with.

So your solution to student loan debt is that people have to pay more taxes so they will have less to payoff their student loan debt and that will fix everything?
Admit it--You were one of the architects of Obamacare, weren't you?
First, not everyone is cut out for the military. They're just not gonna be good soldiers. Then there's the tiny problem of not needing more than we are already recruiting. Then the issue of cost per soldier, plus cost per loan to be paid off with tax dollars per soldier.

My solution would be to stop all student loans. Then have the government buy all the outstanding loans from all lenders at the original amount still outstanding that was loaned, without applying any current interest. Interest already paid to the lender's will be all they get.
Then, only require repayment of the outstanding original loan amount without interest. I'd suggest adding a 10% automatic garnishment of all wages and/or benefit payments to insure repayment occurs at pace.
Only the students - not the rest of us.
Student is crying about the debt they agreed to repay. So waive it, it no longer appears on their credit, and they don't have any required payments. In return let them pay a higher income tax for life. 10% more should cover it. Give them the choice - pay it back or pay it in taxes. I dont' care which - just so long as we aren't giving it to them for free.
A better idea. I believe student loan interest rates should be very low to begin with, especially since they have government backing.
I used to think that, but have come to believe it would not really help repayment efforts all that much. I'd prefer replacement of all loans with limited grants, then denying any access to "For-Profit" institutions while forcing Not-for-profit schools to gear back on their tuition and fee demands or lose non-profit status.
More like the public secondary school system? How would you determine grant qualifications?
Probably based upon Primary school grades combined with SAT scores, or something like that. Something that shows the student has the aptitude to both succeed in a chosen goal and complete the program if assisted.
Otherwise, students can go to community college, and after completion re-apply based on community college grades and college qualification testing.
Yeah that is exactly the wrong thing to do. There is no market pressure on colleges and universities to contain costs and, therefore, tuition. Non-teaching expenses have been overtaking teaching expenses as colleges build luxury living quarters, movie theaters, mac daddy student centers that look like shopping malls, and the like.
The smarter move, which nobody agrees with, is to require colleges to start writing down tuition costs for students receiving government loans just like they do with medical benefits. If you want students to be able to go here, you will have to charge X amount for tuition in order for them to get FA. If you don't accept this, no student attending your school gets government FA. Students have to borrow less and schools have to spend less on their 14 Olympic-Sized Swimming Pools.
So kill capitalism and bring on socialism. Force a private entity to make its cost what you and some socialist senator think it should be instead of what it is and what a private institution wants it to be? I disagree, if anything increase competition. If the schools build luxuries in then let another school compete and offer an education for less - if they can.
Huh, so to fix our economic problems we should force people into involuntary service, creating a supply of enlisted where there wasn't any additional demand, and everything would go back all hunky dory. Best of all this also puts all our educated into positions that don't need them and keeps all the uneducated home to work all the complicated jobs. Perfect!Why can't those who have jobs simply start paying more taxes, and those without jobs enlist in the military; after 6 years of service in the military at 75% pay their debt can be considered paid.

Thank you, this was quite humorous. It's nice to swim through the irony of a conservative prescribing an obviously unworkable command economy every once in a while, and you even threw in a fascist military state to boot. Keep up the good work.

Why do you hate our military so much to force unwilling people on it?
You do realize that it will cost even more
right? Soldiers need housing, food and training.. It is cheaper to just forgive the debt.
