So what do those of us who had student loans and did over 10 years pay then back have to say? Make them pay just like the rest of us did.

This proposed program is nothing more than another tactic to create another freebie program and buy another voting block.

I guess the mentality and the track record of the current politicians it is inevitable there will be some kind of loan reduction, payment reduction or even the out and out forgiveness of the entire loan amount. If that should be the case should those of us who DID THE RIGHT THING by paying back our debt, be demanding some sort of refund? After all there are things we could have done or bought when we were making payments and we denied ourselves and our families during that time.

Write your representatives () in Washington and tell them to vote against ANY bailout of student loans. Demand the be paid back just like the rest of us did. And add a however......if they cannot defeat the give away then for them to be sure to have the bill include some form of refund to those of us who honored our commitment and paid our debts.
