        Student loans should be handled like business loans: present a credible plan showing how the loan will be repaid on time, or no loan. People going into six-figure debt to get $35k/yr jobs is insanely stupid.

        Administrations & our great and mighty Congress that set up this system of crime & punishment while collecting from those very entities that pushed this agenda. Little facts maybe most don’t know? Owe back taxes? IRS as well as others will work with you so U can live. Owe back

        Child support? U can work with HRS 2 postpone or reduce till more able 2 pay. This was not always the case. Wasn’t till they figured out people can’t pay support while in jail.DAH! Now student loans? That’s a different all 2 gether. Don’t care if your student loan debt is recent

        Or goes back 50 years, U owe it plus interest & either U or those related 2 U R responsible 4 it. Don’t tell about “those plans” either. As soon as I say “I’m not in school”or I attended school in the 80’s? KLICK! Members of our governments don’t have those problems. It’s a perk

        Of being a Gov. VIP. It’s not they don’t pay, it’s the amounts they do. So,”Mr. & Mrs. America & all the ships at C” # what’s your F-ing plan?” # I know beg 4 more $ & throw that at it.

        Meanwhile, going rates for handyman: $90/hr. Landscape maintenance? $50/hr. Truck driver? $50-70k/yr. Electrician, plumber? $60-100k/yr -- tons of overtime recently. Mechanic? $100k/yr. But keep paying $250k for a $30k/yr office job and think you're better than the people above.

        Education and healthcare debt are the new form of indentured servitude: charge as much as possible to keep people in debt as long as they can physically work. Meanwhile, your taxes pay for a trillion dollars a year on the military to send 18 year olds to die in Afghanistan.

        Things got out of control when the federal government guaranteed the loans. How rare.
