Yeah - its ridiculous to see some of what gets posted.
The fact is that between low wages, boomers not leaving the job market, inflation, taxes, etc, the deck is really stacked against young people right now economics wise.

True, but even the grads with "soft" majors were getting decent jobs through the latter 1990s-2008. When you start seeing banks and entire companies "too big to fail", and needing government bailouts to prevent them from dragging the rest of the nation's economy with it, the rise of crony capitalism etc., you're witnessing an economic system in decline, an economic system so bloated and decadent that it cannot survive without government assistance. This is what I mean by "dying of its own internal contradictions." This would be occuring whether you had Obama, Romney or Pee Wee Herman as POTUS.

Discharging student loans in bankruptcy means you get to pick up the tab. Plus the rest of the taxpayers.

Oh we do have an idea about how it is in the economy now. Some of us have been screaming loudly about the path we are heading down as a country.
We’re just old fools, what do we know?

If you know some young people, you know about Jon Stewart, even though his ratings will never touch Bill O'Reilly's, to Stewart's eternal rage and resentment.
His show is barely one notch above porn, yet I've got all these "intellectuals" who send me clips from his show.
Did you know this perv actually has *kids*?

16 is an obama voter with mindset to blame it on someone/something else.

“So young, so ill-educated so lied to, so hopelessly stuck in mom’s basement. Wow all of this and not even 25 years old!”
Maybe they’ll learn to be “underground entrepreneurs”? Why work on-the-books and suffer wage garnishment, when they can start businesses that “make no money” and get paid under the table?
That’s probably the best solution for these folks, short of playing Powerball with money they steal out of their mom’s purse.

Well put, Prole. Well put.

We pick up the tab more if these students default, are saddled with judgments they can’t possibly pay, and cannot get decent work as a result. This, along with the huge losses caused by their unpaid and unpayable debts, will be a body blow to the economy that will dwarf the 2008 mortgage debacle. Besides, debt is debt. It’s just not right to have some kinds of debt undischargable (save for debt caused by willful torts like assault, etc.). Best to have them cut their losses now and be done with it.

Stewart is a real clown and another propagandist of the worst type.
Feeding all the wrong messages.

These morons are pretty much expecting the dims to forgive the debt anyway. So it doesn’t matter.

Many of these young dopes don’t know any better. They are a product of high-tech marxist brainwashing and have literally no contrast in their lives otherwise.
Sitting there mocking these idiots, while entertaining and gratifying, is not going to improve this situation one bit.

Can anyone get on the debt forgiveness wagon? The idea of having spare money again is attractive.
Why not our entire debt as a nation? These interest payments are holding us back.

How would forgiving student loan debt help them get a job?

Having a judgment levied against you is a real buzzkill for a prospective employer. They’d rather see a job applicant who extinguished a crushing debt in bankruptcy and is making a fresh start.

Yes - we all suffer from the dumbing down of the American voter who thinks they are educated. All according to design - start in the schools - don’t teach, indoctrinate.
