People who agree to accept a loan, including student loans, need to be responsible and pay their loans back. I, as well as many people, started at a community college. I worked multiple jobs and applied for scholarships and grants — long before the convenience of computers — before taking a student loan. I continued to get my advanced degrees knowing I had student loans to repay.

I did not default or expect my loans to be paid by taxpayers. Many people seem to believe they deserve a free ride in life. President Joe Biden is canceling more student loan debt. That is teaching them they do not need to be responsible for their choices.

When will people start being responsible for their choices?

There are more recent reports from the CDC and others that paint an even worse picture, but the message is clear: We need to start being concerned with real “women’s health ” issues — and it is not abortion.

People who only get a paycheck have to be thinking: “Why will these other people be paying no taxes on up to 75 percent of their earnings, while we are getting taxed on our whole paycheck?”
