Student loan responsibi­lity

-

Why should the recipients of student loans be allowed to walk away and leave the burden on taxpayers? No one forced a student and/or their parents to take the loans.

As a taxpayer, I don’t feel any obligation to let these individual­s walk away from these loans. This money isn’t coming out of the politician­s’ pockets — it is coming out of the taxpayers’ pockets.

If interest rates or the time to repay can be adjusted to allow for lower payments, I am mildly OK with such an arrangemen­t.

Get real, Democrats. There is something called obligation.

Warren Rodgers Jr., Matteson
