        @SabreToothJen @BoingBoing @MastaOfMp3s You're conflating "jailed for not paying" with "can't declare bankrupcy" See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_loans_in_the_United_States#Criticism_of_U.S._student_loan_programs …

        @SabreToothJen Mind if I ask if you defaulted before or after 2005? It'd be heartening to know people can still plead for rationality.

        @alexdante the judge had to throw out the judgements due to improper service. It's never smart to no-show court is the bottom line.

        @SabreToothJen Thank you! There's a push to intro a similar student loans system here in AU so it's good to hear a non-filtered perspective

        @BoingBoing @jamlamlaser I've been preaching that very word to my HS students. And yet they get pressured into loans while in college.

        @tedigreyowl there is usually no other way. It's not pressure, I'd say, but greed and corruption.
