Megyn Kelly had strong words for those who are pushing for President Joe Biden to forgive their student loans, suggesting that neither she nor any other taxpayer should be on the hook for the financial obligations of “snot-nosed” kids if the administration eventually acts to cancel their debt. On Monday’s edition of her SiriusXM radio show, the former Fox News anchor addressed activist pressure on the White House to wipe the slate clean with calls for loan forgiveness coming from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among others.
During her conversation with the hosts of the conservative podcast “Ruthless,” Kelly didn’t hold back on the entitled young people who want the government

Did she mention their snot-nosed parents? It isn't just the kids looking for free sh-tuff.

Liberals are just idiots. They cannot see past their own eyelids when it come to unintended consequences.
So, let's say that the student loan debts of all those Ivy League schools are forgiven. That nullifies the fiscally responsible decision for all those kids who decided they would rather go to a local state university that they could afford.
The net result would be... the RICH kids get richer while the middle class kids who went to a lesser school that they could afford get poorer.
And, it will be ALL the kids who pay TAXES who get saddled with the bill. There is no free lunch, education, iPhone or anything else. Someone pays for every last cent of it.
AOC is a blithering idiot.

I'm against any blanket amnesty on student loan forgiveness, but would be open to a small compromise targeted to student loan debt for teachers.
And, only teachers who have been on the job for at least 5 years, and teach in under-represented, and under-performing school districts. Would also require them to continue teaching for at least 2 more years in the same school/district.
(generally translated as many inner-cities and low-income areas).
It's actually sad to think the Teachers unions have not pushed for it, as it would be something to benefit their members.
After all, if you live in a neighborhood that has "good schools", you likely live in a nice area, and pay high taxes that support your local schools (how most schools are actually funded).

Megyn, Megyn, Megyn.
If you hadn't been an anti-Trumper you'd still have your great gig at FOX. Trump didn't want to cancel the debt of 'snot-nosed' kids either. He'd have been on your side on this all over the place. Sorry honey, too little too late.

Make mortgage loans disappear first. Then maybe the parents would be able to help more with the payments of their kids.

I’ve always wondered why parents’ tuition payments for their kids aren’t tax deductible. Don’t we want kids to get educated? Nah. Let’s just forgive debt.

Only if you throw these students whose loans are forgiven immediately into the 37% tax bracket...

Here's an idea snot nosed brats. Don't buy that Tesla, live in an expensive new condo, or wear expensive designer clothing. If you eliminated just one of these items, you would have enough money to pay back your student loans. It is all about choices. You can't pay back your loans because you choose to spend you money elsewhere. Your priority should be to pay off your debts that you knowingly incurred. You signed the loan agreement. Pay back your student loans. Be an adult!

If anyone forgives any debt it should be the rich universities with the huge endowments. They could call it a scholarship refund.
Many of us chose state or church universities where the tuition was only hundreds of dollars a semester and we could live at home. I finished graduate school with no debt and thanks in part to my schoolteacher wife.

I want my house loan and car loan paid for by joey too. Maybe we just have to scream and give the double middle finger to people. (so lady like) These screaming idiots who scream in your face and spewing spit all over you think that it works. If it does then we can do it too.

Sounds great Megyn but the system and structure are rubbish. With the expansion of the GI Bill providing Govt Aid to all students, the result was an exponential increase in tuition across the board that has only served to a) Increase banker's profits by more fees and interest b) increase school expenditure on buildings and hiring more admin AND c) create generations of indentured servants with near-worthless degrees. On top of that if you really want to complain about forgiveness of student debt because you feel that the taxpayer should foot that bill WHY NOT look at the over $40 billion dollars a year the government gives to private and public universities and really ask where that money goes and the return on investment (it is our money). American education has simply become a joke on most levels but a very profitable one and it seems to benefit liberals more than anyone else. But lets pound the hell out of the kids for being forced by our society to pursue these ever so important degrees because that will solve the problem.

Back in the 50s I paid every cent of my education by working. Before and during my schooling. Why can't the brats today do the same instead of expecting everyone else to pay their bills. Over the years I had no children but paid for k-12 schooling for everyone else's children and I'm sick of it.

As was explained to me by a very liberal friend, if the gov't paid off her granddaughters student loan then she could by a car and eventually a house and contribute to society. My thinking is that this granddaughter would want those debts paid by someone else also. Yes, the students were young when they signed up but they weren't stupid. You borrow it, you pay it back. It's not up to us to pay it back for you.

When responsible people borrow money, they pay it back.

Oh, #3...more for the teachers, already the most coddled occupation out there.
"...only teachers who have been on the job for at least 5 years, and teach in under-represented, and under-performing school districts."
And how did these schools get to be "under-performing" with this excellent faculty? Teachers in the day when kids generally learned to read, write and do arithmetic were graduates of two-year normal schools, not four-year bachelor-degree matriculates of a college or university. Back in the 1950s people asked why Johnny couldn't read...funny that with all the investment in research, "improved techniques", expanded staffs with specialists, and countless other dollars spent in erasing this scourge, Mikal can't read, and now it's about race and niggardly school budgets. It seems things were better when we had teachers rather than educators on the job.
Frankly, I'm done rewarding teachers for teaching. Everyone wants special recognition, and teachers have become heroes, rising from the downtrodden to the merely not-paid-enough. They'll strike for whatever, and it's always "for the children.' Teaching is a job like any other. People (overwhelmingly women) buy their tickets and certainly must know what they are getting into. And that's just the public schools. Does this also apply to private school teachers? Don't they deserve equal love? Then let's not forget the prison guards, cops, wastewater plant operators, and everyone else that holds a crappy public job that requires a degree or advanced training.

I want Biden to cancel my share of the national debt. I did not get the money, and feel that those that did should be the one's to pay off that loan.

Why are they complaining? I don't think they have had to pay since covid started and now payments are pushed back again to August. Guess AOC is pushing for the payments to disappear altogether. Agree with someone who said she could sell her Tesla, move to a less expensive apartment and make other changes to be able to afford to pay her college debt. But that wouldn't be very Marxist, would it?

If she had supported Donald Trump she would not have to be concerned about deadbeats with student loans. Biden and AOC bat for the other team.

If the government would get out of the education and student loan business, private industry knows how to handle deadbeats. But then that's the point isn't it? No free stuff or "forgiveness" no votes.
