Seriously, me too. People, you took on the debt, pay it back. Everyone thinks they are entitled to a bailout of their own. You decided to take on that debt, you signed on the dotted line. Be responsible for your own actions and pay for it.
Not that a facebook petition/online petition is going to be too influential.

This goes into something else that kind of annoys me about this new batch of kids...they think that since the Obamas had student loans, that they're more "sympathetic" to those who have loans. Maybe he is, but I'm not, and I had loans too.

This is a horrible idea. Not only are you wasting billions of dollars that should either be spent on some sort of sustainable public works project or not spent at all, but you're also setting a precedent for people to carelessly borrow money.

This might be the first time I agree with you. There are already too many people who run up insane amounts of credit card debt without thinking about the ramifications. Why cancel what is considered good debt?
If you file bankruptcy, you still have to pay your student loans. The government is not going to forgive all student loan debt.

I'd have to agree with this.
Money spent to do this could be going toward alot of things this country really needs.
Besides, individuals paying off loans helps build credit. I think that having more people with stronger credit will help more than having the gov't shell out a bunch of money.

I gave him a chance, but after this stimulus debacle, and the Keynesian boondoggles to come, come election time, only the true believers will still be supporting him. The only way he gets a second term is if Sarah Palin wins the Republican nomination.
(I think I threw up in my mouth just a bit)

I agree.
Why don't we just pay off everyone's mortgages and personal credit cards while we're at it?
Shizz, if they start paying off people's credit cards, I'm taking all 3 of my 0-balance cards out for a joyride and maxing those puppies out!
