Pay your damn student loan!’: Charles
Payne calls out ‘pampered elitists’
as Trump ends Biden admin giveaway

Original Article

Fox Business host Charles Payne tore into people taking advantage of the Biden administration’s decisions to defer or forgive student loans Monday, saying it was time to “pay your damn student loans.” The Department of Education announced it would resume collections on delinquent student loans, ending a pause from the COVID-19 pandemic that the Biden administration sought to continue, The Hill reported. Payne expressed little sympathy for claims that forcing borrowers to repay student loans would cause them financial hardship.

Comments:

I agree with him!! Adulting is HARD once you graduate from college, particularly if you spent all of your time partying or protesting!!

Financial hardship? Well, yes. We put four through college and thought at one time we might have to dig roots to eat but we paid for it including one loan that we paid back. This may end up teaching students that it's better to defer buying those concert tickets or taking that nice little vacation. so you are able to make your payments

Get the government out of the loan business. Sale the loan paper to a bank or other private institution. Let them handle it.

Obama nationalized student lending, and that was about the last time any of the borrowers paid anything on their outstanding loan. That was the plan all alone, to make college education free.

Most of the things people are supposedly taught in “higher” education have no real value in making life productive or helpful to others. A social science PHD professor likely would beg to differ. Reading "The 100 best Books ever written" would be a better investment.

I paid back every dollar of my student loans over 40 years ago. I was married with three sons while trying to obtain my bachelors degree. I completed my degree in 1983 and managed to pay my last payment the month before my son's student loan came due. They are all now paid back. And my wife and I celebrated our 56 wedding anniversary this week. If you take out a loan for anything you better be prepared to pay it back.

Congratulations, #1 and #7. Your responsiveness to pay your obligation no matter what it took is a sorely needed lesson many of our young need today. Our family did very much the same. It is why I don’t want any exceptions made for certain majors or circumstances. I don’t care if it’s nursing or women’s studies. If you took out the loan and signed the paper, you gave your word you would repay. Some valuable and difficult lessons now await a great many of those who thought they were off Scot free.

PS While I was working on my degree I was working full time as a deputy sheriff in Laramie County, Wyoming. After I obtained my degree I was a Wyoming Highway Patrol officer for 15 years and Chief Ranger of Wyoming State Parks for 19 years. Along with my time at the Sheriffs Office I completed 38 years in law enforcement. All after serving 9 years in the Navy Seabees.

Charles Payne is a jewel. He always tells it like it is. With 3 young kids, my husband was the only one working. We did without a lot, but I took my time getting my degree, and we didn't owe a penny when I was through college and got my degree. We were brought up to believe you paid your debts, and you didn't spend more than you made.

It's a JOKE to many! I know several first hand examples of how students waste money on THEMSELVES via the latest Apple gadgets, Peletons, concerts, and ALWAYS OUT having a good time they think they DESERVE ! Obama & Biden encouraged this irresponsible behavior knowing how difficult it would be to end this "everyone deserves free college" boondoggle. Of course it was also designed to provide more clueless airheaded liberal protestor/voters as well. Most of the degrees are for more DEI administrators always needed for research studies to show how minorities are perpetually mistreated. Enough is enough !!! MAGA

Back in my day, banks used to loan money for college to parents, not students! obama screwed that up when government took over loans and as Charles said, "cut out the middleman." It was done on purpose, and the purpose was to have young people starting out beholden to benevolent government who screwed them in the first place.

Students in Oklahoma will soon be educated about the issue of Democratic voter fraud. Under the direction of state School Supernintendent Ryan Walters, schools in Oklahoma must analyze the results of the 2020 presidential and the statistical anomalies that it presented. According to one textbook, students will be asked to “identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.” The Gateway Pundit has led the way on exposing the 2020 election fraud,

According to a new report from the Los Angeles Times, Kamala Harris will spend her summer deciding between three options for her political future. The first and most obvious option would be to retire from politics, which seems unlikely given her ego. Harris’s second option is a third attempt at running for president. According to the report, the third option is a run for California governor. The report states, “According to several who’ve spoken with Harris, she is genuinely undecided, torn between concern and affection for her home state and an undimmed desire to be president.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) does not look to have gotten the memo. The senator not only traveled abroad last month to inquire about the illegal immigrant, but he’s also still posting about him.

In the political cage match that America didn’t know it needed—2025 has delivered. On one side: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the self-anointed heroine of the progressive revolution, armed with Instagram reels, virtue signals, and a dogged resistance to anything resembling border enforcement. On the other: Tom Homan, the no-nonsense former ICE director turned Trump’s new immigration enforcer—armed with the law, federal authority, and a mandate from the American people. The recent showdown between the two—sparked by AOC’s “Know Your Rights” campaign and Homan’s blunt response—has lit up the media, Congress, and coffee shop conversations across the nation. But unlike most Beltway bluster, this battle actually matters.

Forget any foreign adversary or terrorist group, Democrats in this country are the greatest threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness our country has ever known. Internal threats are always dangerous, especially to a country as strong as ours, but that half the political establishment and almost all of the media are active participants in actions designed for the specific purpose of harming American citizens (up to and including their deaths) and destroying the country is something for which there is no precedent. Think of all these “progressive” idiots who hid Joe Biden’s decline. That treachery still has not been viewed in its entirety.

First, my sympathies for the Biden family. I’ve been there. Now, here’s my puzzlement. Prostate cancer is notoriously slow-growing. Although prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths among men (second to only lung cancer), that’s not because it’s so deadly, but because it’s so common. It’s a fact that more men die with prostate cancer than of it. Of those who die, the typical mechanism of death is by the cancer cells metastasizing to other organs and/or to the bones. It takes years for that to happen – typically something like 5-10 years even without treatment, and even longer with treatment.

The big news from yesterday and today is that the tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden about unsecured classified documents in Biden’s garage became public. They showed a man who was obviously in the grips of senile dementia and who therefore had no business running anything, let alone the world’s most powerful country, one armed with nuclear weapons. Since I already knew in 2020 that Biden was suffering from dementia, a progressive condition—and then I’d watched it progress for the next four years—the Hur tapes affirmed what I already knew. They weren’t news, indeed, to any conservatives. What has been newsworthy is
