With scholarships and money from us, my son graduated with about $10G student debt. It took him about 2 years to pay it off. In my humble opinion, only military personal whould get a "free ride" for college. Every other one should pay the loan back in the 10 years allowed to pay it back.
I guess I needs to chime in here. UNCLE SAM paid for me BS degree in MARKETING. And paid for books and a montly stipend for attending. A good reason for those that choose to join MILITARY and then after leavin go and get a college degree. And I might add. Even when in MILITARY and you want to make a career of it,you can still attend part time and UNCLE covers everythin. Went on to get my MS. It be in PARK and RECREATION MANAGEMENT and minor in ENVIROMENTAL SCIENCE.Went on at POST GRAD,it called CAPS. CERTIFICATE of ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL STUDY. Got me degree in SITE PLANNING. IT took some time to get all me degrees because I was always a part time student. I worked and me softball career took up a lot of me time. But I paid for my MS and CAPS,out of me own pocket. And semester hours were not that cheap. That why I would only take 2 courses a semester. But I DID IT. Obviously,I have no student loan debt. Here what I can not understand. People,now collecting SOCIAL SECURITY have still not paid off their STUDENT LOANS. They had a lifetime to do so. Me thinks they never wanted to. And they probably have great credit,becuse they refused to not pay back what they owed. I got no sympthee for them. REMINDS me and I put them in the same category as DRAFT DODGERS. Let them now sweat and lose income because they refused over years to not pay backJOHN FRANK ARMY has SPOKEN.
Sounds like Connecticut could use a little DOGE effort of their own !!In Connecticut, state employees are retiring with pension benefits higher than their last salary. How? It’s a classic scheme known as “spiking.”Tens of thousands of Connecticut state employees enjoy the unlimited right to spike overtime — that is, to work enormous hours of overtime just before retirement for the sole purpose of boosting the pensions calculation, which includes overtime pay in immediate pre-retirement years.And that’s not all. Under Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D), unionized state employees have enjoyed six consecutive annual pay raises, compounding to a whopping 33 percent. It is no coincidence that state employee wages have climbed the rankings to second place among the states. Nationally, private sector pay has increased only 23 percent over this span. Recently, Lamont promised his union allies “every year I’m here, you’re going to get a raise.”I can't imagine what that pension spiking will cost taxpayers over the life of these tens of thousands recipients!!! Public sector living large on your hard earned money.

Many people I know are encouraging their kids to get military experience and receive college benefits. I paid and sacrificed for kids college education and it’s not fair if anyone gets their loans paid back by government.JFA thanks for your service
