As a bank stockholder, is it reasonable for us to expect people to pay back the money? Then they would be out of debt and their credit would aallow them to borrow for a car or other stuff.
I could be wrong, but university tuition is free in Cuba. Some of my doc buddies came here any way. How is Cuba doing?

University tuition is free in a lot of other countries - the fact that Cuba's is free means nothing.
The point is not that people's student loans should be forgiven, but that they shouldn't be there to begin with.
It's obvious you're perfect - have a nice day.

Tell us why?
Then see if you are strong enough to explain why people borrowed money and loans should be forgiven and people that worked and paid for their education don't get the same pay back.
You are rewarding bad behavior. Is that what we should teach people?
Socialists amaze me. I suspect you also feel kids that flunk should also be forgiven.
Reminds me of a friend that paid some classmate to take tests for him in medical school.

He's not saying that loans should be forgiven.

I would tell them "Ok we won't raise tuition. We'll raise your taxes on everything else so you can have free education". Maybe they will get it then

There is no such a thing as free education. The question is who pays for it and how. If it has an appearnce of no tuition, it may be offset by high taxes later.
How much can a Cuban doctor make? A bunch if he goes to Miami.

Personally I think everything should be free...it would be nice. But ultimately things cost money.
So if you give away an education for free to someone, it's still not really free. States, cities or even Countries have to pay for it somehow and that somehow is taxes and fees on other stuff.

A friend of mine was an orthopaedic surgeon in the UK. When he came over here, he paid his physical therapist twice what he was making in England.

In some schools within Universities, the professor salaries must be very high to keep the profs from going into industry.

Re: College Education an Entitlement?
The expectation of anyone receiving any free education is just weird to me.
Why not a free house? Free food? Free medical?
Oh, wait!?! We do that too?
