A basic lesson of economics is if you borrow money at some point it must be repaid.

Jim, South Holland

Jim from Lansing, what makes you think students aren’t working to pay off their loans. As far as socialist countries go, students there don’t go into debt up to their eyeballs just to pay for an education. Lastly, King Biden? You are confused. Our previous president wants his crown back. We need better choices in 2024.

MJ, Worth

Has anything in king Biden’s reign done more to divide the country than his go-it-alone student loan fiasco? Wow, talk about hitting a lot or nerves.

Gary, Oak Forest

I want to be Donna Vickroy’s “schnookum.” So much fun. If I can’t be her, I’ll settle for a fly on the wall to watch those precious moments!

Dolly, Homer

I see in the paper where R. Kelly’s attorneys are poised to launch his defense. Give me a break. What you going to do say she didn’t look like she was 15. She looked like she was 32. Maybe 22. But she was really 12.

John Bridgeport

Loud applause to Gov. Abbott. Texas and Arizona are overwhelmed with Biden’s generosity to allow those to cross the border. Now Lightweight is in an uproar because they are coming to Chicago, but Chicago is a sanctuary city, correct? Didn’t she say Chicago welcomes all. What they don’t know is they’re leaving bad to come to worse. Be careful. What you wish for Lori.

Frances, Chicago

All I can say is I think instead of focusing all our time on a man who left the White House, we should be concentrating our time on the man who is in the White House. He’s the one who is destroying America.

Shelly, Oak Lawn

California announces it will permit no new gasoline-powered vehicles in 2035. On the same day, CA Energy announced that people should not charge their electric vehicles from 7 p.m. to midnight to avoid blackouts. How will their electrical power grid handle it when there are only electric vehicles? Reality mocks The Babylon Bee.
