Letter: What happened to personal responsibility?

Published 2:00 am Saturday, May 25, 2024

I would like to voice concerns about our “commander in chief” forgiving student loans. What is the justification or criteria for doing so? I have young adult kids who went to college and made the choice to get student loans. They were also responsible and paid off their student loans.

As a taxpayer of 47 years I find it offensive that the tax dollars I paid are now being used to offset someone else’s choice to use the funds and not be accountable for their personal choices.

What next? Unpaid hospital bills? Loans on cars? Oh, how about credit cards? What happened to personal responsibility? Cause and effect? What happened to “We the People”?
