  1. I would say yes because the government can actually make a better education and not worrying by any fees or tuition by the school and if it wouldn't even help others it is better to help someone then no one. Another reason why governments should pay is because the students that are new might not have a clue about the tuition of each and every school.

  2. I think that the government should help studnets pay back college loans because then the students wouldn't be in debt and they wouldn't have to get so many jobs just to pay back loans. The government could probably lower the price so it wouldn't take long for the students to pay back their loans.

  3. I think that the government should help students pay back college loans because if they have kids that will be too much to pay for. College tuition rose over 8% and student loan dept is more than the credit card dept. More than 600000 people want President Obama and Congrees to forgive all student loans and took notice by have students that don't make alot of money to pay less per month on their student loans.

  4. I think that the government should pay loans for some kids to go to college because some families wont be able to pay for their kids to go to college because they might not have enough money to give their kids the type of education that they need.

  5. Yes, because when the students and parents are working the taxes come out of their checks. Since they are taking their money for schooling they should help them pay off the loans.

  6. The government should pay student loans because education is very Important to a better future. With the economy the way it is now, students are not getting jobs out of school and are not able to pay back loans. People are going not debt at the beginning od their lives. People are not able to afford school and that is were crime starts. Many people are not able to afford education for their children and the government should help.

  7. Yes,I think that the government should help college students pay for the loan because everyone is running low on money. Tuition increased 8% so if they have a regular job they would not be able to pay on time. Plus, there is a recession going on so it will take them a long time to pay for it.

  8. Yes, I do because all graduate students don’t have alto of money as some rich kids do. Their families are making sacrifices for them to go to school. Some kids probably went their off of a year’s worth of a scholarship and they cannot pay the rest of the money for the other years they are staying. In this economy money is tight. We as American citizens should at least receive some help from the government.

  9. Ibelieve the government should help college students pay off student loans. I say that mainly because parents are barely affording to put their children into colleges, they should recieve that boost.

  10. well yes because the government should be tryimg to hep students get into college because we need more students who went to college and can help us today in this time period so we can make a better place.

  11. I think the government should help college students pay off student loans because some people won’t be able to pay tuition and loans. Since tuition rose 8%, it would be hard to pay on time. In this economy, money is tight. The families of these students would have to make sacrifices to allow their child to have an education. Since there is a recession going on, families of college students should receive some help from the government.

  12. The goverment should help the students because collage is the time when students get education that can change the world and the people who live in it.Also since collage cost a bit much I think this solution will be the best to the students and the parents.This plan insures that the students who need the help badly will come through.I am not surprsied if they will not this plan go through because of the economy,and the reason I think so is there is a 50/50 chance of this plan getting the money it gave or not getting a cent at all.

  13. I think the government should help college students pay off student loans because some people don't even have a good education now .and it for education not bad things

  14. I believe that the government should not help pay for student loans because the students may just try to wait out the twenty years so that they would not have to pay off all of their loans. Also it would be unfair that this would not apply to all students. Another concern I have is would the plan fall apart after years and cause the loan rates to rise and the situation would become worse.

  15. Well, I would say yes and no. The government should help students pay for college loans because it is really expensive and there aren't that many jobs available right now. I also say no because the government has maybe a debt of like a billion or a trillion and they still need to pay that off before anything worse happens to the economy even education.

  16. I think that the government should help pay college loans so the students can afford to attend their college. If the students end up going into debt and being able to afford to attend there. If students also need to be able to afford supplies or food and furniture. When students become in debt then they can’t have a good education.

  17. The government should help schools with the tuition because some student's loans are high.Students can not even afford money to pay for their school because the tuition is to high to even pay for. Many students are trying to get into a school, but that school's tuition fee is too high for some of the students. The government should try and lower the tuition of some of the schools that have a tuition that barely any of the students who attend to the school can not actually...... Attend!

  18. Yes the goverment should help college graduates poay back student loans. As my fellow classmates have pointed out, college is exspensive, in fact the tuition cost has gone up 8% just this year. Lets not forget about other college costs such as books, living, food, and transportation. Just because the student is not fortunate enough to be able to pay for college dose'nt mean they have to sacrafice not going to a good college or no college at all. So yes, the government should help college graduates pay back student loans.

  19. I think the government should pay some loans for kids to go to college because they try to make exuses for the citizens to pay taxes and other fines people make or have.So the"payback"is to pay for the kids to pay the kids opportunnity to go to college.They just want to take the money of the citizens even though they already get enough money from the taxes,fines,and bills the citizens pay to keep their homes.

  20. I think that goverments should not have to do this for many reasons.I Think this because those are your loans that you took out to go to college. Also because you should want to get a full ride to college.Dont you think that all these people are taking out to much money and they cant pay it back. If you had the courage to pay what they owe. People act like the goverment took out that loan but they did not.That is my opinion of this.

  21. I think that the government shouldn't give out loans. I thinnk this because many people say they are going to pay it back but never do. I also think they shouldn't because many people can't afford to pay back a loan. Picture yourself going through financial times and you need money for you son or daughter. Four years later you recieve a letter from the government saying you need to pay your loan. But you have NO idea how to pay it back. What are you going to do now? This is a prime example of what most americans do.

  22. The government should definately assist college students in the payment of their loans. If there is less debt in college loans, the country's economy will gain security. The studets also will be free of a looming threat that the've thought about since they first started high school. These people also may go to school longer because they wont end up with ridiculous monthly payments. Instead they'll have a solid footing and a running start on the road to sucess, and won't be stopped by thewalls of debt. One con of the plan proposed by the government, however, is that people that currently have loans can not gain the benefits of small payments and eliminated debt. This should be changed (unless there would be too much money for the government to pay).

  23. I believe that if they should not raise the taxes if the people are already raising the tuiton each month.Also they should assist the families with the tuiton because many people are sacrificing everything just so their child can get a good education.I also agree with President Obama because you don't know how much you are hurting people when the goverment is not assisting them with the tuiton.Also they mentioned in the video as I said before that they were going t o also raise taxes but why owuld they do somethiing like this when people are already struggling to pay the monthly payments

  24. I do think the government should help pay for student loans because college is one of the most expensive things in the world right now and with today's economy people can't afford to pay tens of thousands of dollars while they're in debt. Also with all of the taxes Americans have, the government should put that money towards a college students' education, instead of something we don't need.

  25. I agree with Jessica when she said that the goivernment should help because tuition is raising every month and taxes rise. The government should help because money is tight right now. People need money for their everyday needs and their wants. With the government's support, it would be easier and more affordable for families.

  26. Yes, I do think the government should help pay back college loans because the students on their own and they can’t pay it back themselves. Also tuition and fees rose more than 8%. The student may not have enough money to pay for tuition and fees their selves so they get a student loan. I agree with what President Obama said, “I want us to win the future so that means we should be doing everything we can to put a college education within reach for every American”. It help l people who don’t get paid a lot of money so they can pay less money per month on for their student loans after, 20 years any remaining debt will be forgiven and for others it will help them combine their students loan into loan. This is why I think the government should help pay back college loans.

  27. I think the government should help because the government has a lot of money. The government should help because it will be a great assist to the students. The government will be greatly thanked and colleges can have their loans, and students can keep learning and be successful in their future. Also I hear from some people in the city that the government doesn’t help them they just pile on taxes. If the government helps the students then the people might change their minds.

  28. I think the government should help collage students pay their loans. This could help the students to not be worried about their debt and gives them some what a relief so now they can put all of their attention on their collage work. Also if people would graduate collage they would be able to get very good jobs. This could help the economy greatly because people would have more money to spend on extra things so they could teat themselves out some place. This would give the country a little bit of money to pay toward the debt that the nation is in. And if this continues we can someday in the future get out of the nation wide debt and if we have a good leader we can stay out of dent for ever.

  29. Governments shouldn’t help college students pay off their debt. They should transfer if they know it is going to be too hard to pay off the debt. Also students know when they are going into debt. They should maybe get a part time job or participate in a program that pays your tuition like work study. Also because their tuition is their responsibility.

  30. Yes, I do think the government should help pay some of the student's loans because they are going up way to much. Also, the students are running out of money trying to pay the loans that go up 8%.

  31. I think that the government should help college students by giving them loans because a lot of families don't have enough money for their children to go to college, even when their child wants to go to college. Some schools don't give out scholarships, so that can't help students pay for college. I think that it is a shame that some jails have more money than schools. Most children say that they want to go to college, but they can't and that kind of ruins their life, because most people who don't go to college can't get a good job and pay bills.

  32. I believe the government shouldn't help pay student loans. College students are near adults and should be able to handle their own problems. They received enough help growing up. The government has enough problems enough with the economy. This is the real life they studied for with little mistakes.

  33. I think the government should help pay student loans. They shouldn’t just do this for any one they should only help people in real need.

  34. Students aren't passing because they have too much on their minds. They do need help from the government and I think the government should help them. It isn;t fair for the new students to only get the chance instead of everyone else.

  35. I kind of disagree with kiera because that is not why students are dropping out of school, they are dropping out of school because the things they do to help their parents is clogging up their mind then the knowledge that tries to fit into their heads hurts them. So now they think that its school thats hurting them when its the worrying doing the problems. I also believe that the govenment is making things get worse by making student loans but not paying them off. Our parents are already working hard anough so that we are kept healthy(and good looking.)I believe that the government should either help pay the student loans or he should take away the student loans. Either way, he has to help us, our parents, and others.

  36. I think the government should help alot because most people arent rich. Also people have more bills to pay and they need help. The government should stop worrying about little things and help students trying to go to college and create something that could change the world.

  37. I think that the government should help college students pay back college loans because college students should be able to get their eduation no matter what. Another reason is because the government should want o help the college students to get their education.

  38. I think the government should not help pay college loans because the students will be in debt in their more adult life because they expect the government to do the job for them. Aso because it takes money out of others because the tax. The people wil get mad and they will go against the government.
