Yeah...its just sadism clumsily disguised as some sort of attempt at socio-political and economic pragmatism. Its coded in the DNA of conservatism for those of that persuasion to want the worst for people of color and those of lessor means. Period. It may strike as overly simplified analytic on my part, but you see this phenomenon play out again and again. This bill is commonsense and reasonable and it helps, in a small way, to address a mushrooming crisis, but certain people will oppose it just "because".
College tuition rates have risen 1,300% in the last 30 years or so, but who's counting?

I'm down to 43k left from 60+...I just treat it as a basic bill instead of looking at it as the animal it is to be honest.
Personal responsibility thrown out the window, again.
People need to take "personal responsibility" alright, but its not the poor and lower middle class families that try to improve their lives by going to college:

Lets punish the non rich for going to college by saddling them with crushing debt, and an economy of underemployment "brehs"

Change is inevitable...
Like clockworkWell, GOP just gave the Dems something they can use to rally young voters against them (again) and get them to vote in the midterms.
Been telling cats that the GOP is done for the next decade or two but they just won't listen. The entire party needs to be cleansed of itself before it can be taken seriously.
Hillary is going to moonwalk into that White House in 2016

@ Posters suggesting you just "go with the flow" and give up on one of the few proven ways to economic mobility just because you were born in the wrong tax bracket.

Why not punish the colleges instead?

I be winkin' through the scope
"Obviously if you can't pay, don't go to college. My parents, righteous as they are, had the foresight to plan ahead and save for my future. Don't tax me for your lazy, stupid family. The biggest problem with education of course is that people think that they deserve it. If you can't compete and get a scholarship, obviously you should work a minimum wage (which we will not negotiate) job for 20 years and just save up instead. That's fiscal responsibility. Our country can't handle your debt anymore, so stop robbing peter to pay paul. After all we already pay for your food and your parents healthcare, how much more do you need? You're lazy, greedy, and you have no ambition like me. I'm getting a startup going right out of college (so what if my parents help out. thats OUR money) and I'm gonna retire early because i'm smarter than you and work harder"
