I'd rather students be productive members of society in a job that grows his/her career choice vs a job taken merely to keep the lending officers at bay...even if it takes a tax-payer investment as a public good.Feb 3rd, 2015Someone from Locust Grove, VA signed.

Return all consumer protection to student loans. When loans were dischargable, there were very Few bankruptcies. Look it up. This is to stop prefatory lending. Thank you.REPORT COMMENTS

All other federal loan programs have consumer protections; it is unconscionable that student loans do not. The lack of consumer protections has been a boon to universities and student loan servicing companies, but created generations of indentured servants. Our consumer economy cannot flourish if so-called disposable income is relegated to compound interest.REPORT COMMENTS

Funny how Donald Trump, the Koch brothers, or any other corporate barons can discharge billions of dollars of debt at will, but a student just starting their career can't? A small business owner can't succeed due to student loan payments but tycoons get a free ride? That makes no sense. The finance companies made a bet - they bet that if they gave loans that living wage jobs would be there for the graduates. They aren't. They lost that bet. In a real free market, that would mean they go out of business. Stop interfering with the free market. This is supposed to be a nation of one law for everybody, not one law for rich guys and another law for poor people. Student loans should be dischargeable in bankruptcy the same as every other type of debt. There is nothing different about it. It a capitalistic economy, companies that make bad bets and prey on kids with no job prospects deserve to go out of business. That's the way the market works.REPORT COMMENTS

I have submitted a letter, explaining in great detail, the history of my/our student/Parent Plus loans to: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, AES, MOHELA, U.S. Department of Higher Ed Ombudsman's Office, various U.S. Senators and Reps, a collection agency and an attorney general's office. The response--or rather lack of--is slow, wrought with red tape-type hurdles. The concern, outrage or action--on the part of anyone in Washington--is missing entirely. I would like to know WHO is paying WHO off and why? WHY is nothing being done to alleviate the crippling and frustrating stress we are experiencing due to the THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS and TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars in student loan interest/fees/penalties/various "costs"? Please ask Republican Congressmen, especially, this question. And don't quit! I wish I could help you more--financially--but I am strapped as it is. It's sucks, being powerless.REPORT COMMENTS

Nothing has prevented me from the start of an adult life more than the student loan debt accrued in my pursuit of a higher education and better job prospects. The predatory behaviors of the loan holders are an incredible barrier to me moving forward with goals and dreams to contribute to this society. Please, restore bankruptcy protection for everyone first generation college student and for everyone that puts their heart and soul into following the path of learning.REPORT COMMENTS

The student lending system as well as the resulting skyrocketing costs of higher education is a national disgrace. BOTH democrats AND Republicans bear the full brunt of the responsibility and refuse to account for it. Sponsor and pass this bill for one simple reason. It's the right thing to do.REPORT COMMENTS
