In reply to the discussion: Thanks GOP. Parent's Of Deceased Children Inherit Their Student Loan Debt. [View all]Orrex
(67,308 posts)39. You didn't propose a solution
A solution would ameliorate the financial catastrophe now crippling a significant portion of the middle and lower classes. What you claim is a solution is in fact little more than a smug, scolding proposal for people who haven't yet been fucked over by the system, but it's no solution at all for the millions who already have been. The people who are suffering in financial disaster now should be a higher priority than people who are not.
Also, it's absolute bullshit to require students to predict the whims of the global job market ten years in advance, which is exactly what you're blaming them for failing to do.
I've heard plenty of this before from the I've-got-mine-Jack crowd, and it's been crap in 100% of the cases.
Laugh once in a while. I thought Caddyshack was a scream. I guess you didn't.
Regardless of the film, your unrestrained joy at the ongoing capitalist fuck-over of millions of victims is neither amusing nor progressive.Edit history

The Federal government is a culprit in this...the whole student loan process is a disgrace

If they co-signed for the loans, then of course they are responsible for paying them.

I guess it would be a good idea to carry life insurance on your kid if you are

If student loans could be discharged through bankruptcy, the interest rates would likely be higher.

I don't take joy at people struggling with debt, but I'm not willing to just forgive it either.

George R. R. Martin called. He wants to know if you have any other epic fantasy ideas he could use.
