(73,727 posts)he cant seem to see enough grey to grok a sliding scale.
just take the bankruptcy protection away from these lenders. how they get that on guaranteed loans would be a mystery to me, but i know they bought that fair and square.
but just strip that shit.
i have a friend who went to northwestern law school in the 80's. he got a cheap bs, then took loans for law school. he was doing great till, 10 years in, he got cracked for weed.
he surrendered his license, lost his private practice, and went broke.
also got divorced and lost custody/visitation of his daughter.
he went through bankruptcy, but couldnt dump the loans for a now worthless golden sheepskin.
he is 56, and still paying on his paralegal salary. he has very little saved for retirement.
sorta his fault, but still. he could get it back now if he wanted to go through the hassle, but he is happy in the job he has.
he wouldnt lose it today, tho.
this is just the sort of thing bankruptcy is for.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
