Majority oppose Student Loan Forgiveness

One of the loudest demands by the Occupy Wall Street protesters is for forgiveness of the nearly $1 trillion worth of student loans, but Americans strongly oppose forgiving that debt. Even as President Obama talks about easing the burden on those with student loans, in fact, Americans are more inclined to think the government should help those who haven’t gone to college instead. 
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 finds that just 21% of American Adults think the federal government should forgive the nearly $1 trillion in loans it made or guaranteed to help students pay for a college education. Sixty-six percent (66%) oppose the forgiveness of all student loans. Yet, in a poll on Monday, Thirty-four percent (34%) feel the views of the Occupy Wall Street protesters are closer to their own.
