Report URGES limiting of PAYE for rich doctors, lawyers

"If left unchanged," the report says, "the program is set to provide huge financial windfalls to people who, far from being needy, are among the most financially well-off graduates in today's job market."
"We don't think this program is going to do what it was intended to do," Mr. Holt said. "This is a back-loaded benefit, and it's helping people who are most able to pay. The question we need to ask is whether this is how we want the government appropriating money."
"You've essentially created," Mr. Delisle said, "what is basically a risk-free proposition" for students wanting to take out huge loans to attend expensive graduate programs. |

" The New American Foundation study found that under the new income-based repayment rules, high-income borrowers will not incur any incremental cost in borrowing an additional dollar after they reach $60,000 in loans even if they have a six-figure income over most of their repayment term." |

Date: June 12th, 2013 3:26 PM Author: excitant well-lubricated gas station Then it doesn't make sense for anyone to attend higher education in the first place. The people who get good outcomes from graduate school shouldn't have to live like they're a high school dropout. If that was the outcome graduate school applications would plummet and no one except the rich would go. The gov't wants to provide incentives for higher education.
OBVIOUSLY though the system is broken and PAYE/IBR are fine but only IF the gov't can somehow cap tuition and otherwise stop the gravy train of student loan dollars to schools. Schools need to be held accountable for student outcomes. |
|
Date: June 12th, 2013 3:30 PM Author: Massive mewling abode jew I don't have an issue with graduate school attendance declining dramatically. The problem with most grad and professional schools is that the ROI is extremely low, which is why grads can't live well without government support. We should be asking why it makes sense for these people to go to school in the first place. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2279947&forum_id=2#23381361) |

Date: June 12th, 2013 3:34 PM Author: excitant well-lubricated gas station I agree that there are a lot of BS grad programs. The problem is that schools raised tuition at will due to free flowing guaranteed student loan dollars.
It can make sense for students to go to these programs, and it should, if the cost is in line with the market for such degrees. Of course the gov't got involved and fucked everything up and now every single grad degree in anything is like $40k a year |

The more significant factors that allow schools to continue increasing what they charge are the broken student loan system and bankruptcy laws. These are what really need to be reformed. The students in the aggregate are really left without a choice, and it shouldn't be a choice they have to make. Graduate school being unaffordable for all but the super rich is an extremely new phenomemon created by boomers to squeeze more money out of others

If he makes $70K and uses PAYE on $80K in loans, he might pay more than you would pay on $80K in loans at 2%.
The fact that he is paying the same amount for $80K or $300K is the problem. That would be a problem whether my interest rates are 2%, 6% or whether I pay all my loans tomorrow with cash. |

Date: June 18th, 2013 1:16 PM Author: Curious Gunner Box Office The government doesn't sign a contract with forgiveness written into its terms. The government does have to accept your payments under PSLF/PAYE/IBR as qualified payments. Some think that would raise a fairness/reliance type argument if the rug was pulled out on the forgiveness or the terms were changed. Others think the government can do whatever it wants. The programs are pretty new, and nobody has applied for forgiveness yet. When future surgeons start having $300K+ forgiven while paying almost nothing during residency/fellowships and then immediately start making $350K a year, some think that we will see some big changes.

PSLF for people making close to 100K in government work is not the best incentive. |

so yes, high earners are paying more in monthly payments under IBR than they would under a standard 30 year plan.
But if you make that much, you don't need IBR anyway. |
