When I went to college you either went on the GI bill, WW2 & Korea, or you worked to pay for it.
If you can’t pay for it don’t borrow the money!!!
Leave the law as is where you can’t wipe out the debt with bankruptcy!!
problem is that college tuition fees have outpaced inflation for a long time. These kids don’t have the voice and experience to tell us but they ARE drowning in this and our debt including SS and having to take care of us in our old age.
Add that 53 milliion of their peers have been killed off by their mothers and d-—head absentee
They won’t recognize their enemy and they don’t see a friend in the Republican Party. They write off Newt as an old geyser. He should align himself with them. He could. He’s had a lot of education.
This guy (you know who) is seeking a way to get votes and that’s what the discussion is about.
Just ‘cause we don’t like it doesn’t mean it won’t work.
1100 per year it cost me to get an excellent education at a state school. Used the GI B for a second valuable degree.
Newt, if you are reading this, take heed.
These kids are in serious trupble and they need help or they’ll get into despair.
But could we take a look at
Borrowed the money for an education in a 'for profit' fake-ass 'college'.
School closed down before I could finish my degree in 'electronics'. They were teaching old component level crap (soldering in resistors and the like) while multi-level boards and surface mount technology was the norm.
I was doing this to expand my horizons and improve my 'marketability'. So much for that sh*t. I was an app programmer at the time and wanted to branch out into networking and such.
To top that off my software gigs got effin 'outsourced' to some H1-B immigrant F**K who doesn't give a rats-ass bout the the country I spent 11 years of my life defending against enemies foreign and domestic.
It's been 12 years (when I made good money I made good on the debt) since then and they have tacked more than double the original loan amount in interest and 'fees' on me.
I'm the farthest thing from an OWS puke, but I ain't paying a dime back on that.
You can say I 'should have made better choices' but that school was the only 'opportunity' at the time. Hindsight and all that...
