WASHINGTON, D.C. Some Americans frustrated with the rising cost of
college tuition told Fox News they still believe President Bidens multi-
billion-dollar student loan forgiveness plan is worth the price.
"I think it's worth it," Paula, a retired community college professor,
said of Biden's student loan forgiveness plan. "The price of college is
way too high for everybody. For all classes of people, it's way too high."
Jorge, a Dallas resident visiting D.C, said he wished his student debt was
forgiven before he paid off his loans, but that he sees it as a temporary
solution to rising college prices.
"How is it going to help anybody in the future that wants to go to
school?" Jorge asked. "And then how do you bring the cost down?"
"That's really the main thing - how do you bring the cost down," Jorge
continued.
Biden announced a plan last week to use taxpayer money to pay off up to
$10,000 of student debt per borrower for those making less than $125,000
per year and $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients below that income level.
The initiative will cost about $500 billion, the Committee for a
Responsible Federal Budget estimates.
"I don't think that we should be having students that want to further
their education come out with so much student debt," Sarah told Fox News.
One man, Rick, told Fox News that college prices are "absolutely"
overpriced. Despite having paid off all of his loans, he said he's "happy
that anybody got a break."
But Rick also questioned "how that's going to help the future" generations
of students.
"Hope there's more in the plan," he added.
The average tuition and fees increased 1.6% for public four-year in-state
colleges in Fall 2021, while private four-year colleges went up 2.1%,
according to the College Board. And since 1980, undergraduate college
costs have increased 169%, according to a report from Georgetown
University.
"Cost me $10,000 to go to four years college," Jane told Fox News. "Now it
costs going on $100,000."
But she said a college education is still worth the price.
"We spend a lot of money on a lot of things," Jane said. "Education is one
of the top things I think we need."
"An educated public does us much better than an uneducated public, no
matter what level the education," Jane continued.
Norm proposed an alternate solution to Biden's plan.
"Before you even got the debt give everybody a $10,000 scholarship," he
said.
Another man, Peter, said: "I keep on thinking about all the people who
paid their loan back and then all of a sudden there's this gift to some
other people. I'm not sure there shouldn't have been some other criteria
attached to it."
LaShawn said he supports student loan forgiveness because no one should
spend their entire life paying for their education. He said he may have
gone to college had forgiveness been on the table when he was applying.
"I'm one of those that could not afford to go to college," LaShawn said.
"I went in the military so that I could find my way in life."
"However, if I did have the opportunity and I could afford it, I would
have went to college," he continued.
