Or maybe you could have just used the all inclusive liberal talking point -
A real liberal response would be “The poor darlings aren’t responsible and we should erase their debts.” Which is not what I’m not saying. Maybe I was unclear.
I’m saying, “Sorry. Hard lesson, but you have to pay this money back. Don’t make the same mistake again. Don’t buy a house or car you can’t afford. And to you and your kids coming up — don’t borrow eighty grand to go to college.”
Sounds like you think talk of “society” equals “liberal.” But society exists and we’re all part of it. Society does in fact shape all of us. So it’s perfectly legitimate to inquire —how did American society thinking on debt change? How did we get to this point? What is the rationale that led us here? And how do we best change it back?
How is that liberal?
Carry on, oh useful idiot. I shouldn't really try to explain how the system works, since it might tip off others as to how to profit from the current situation. But I am confident that they are as clueless as you, so I'll give you a very small piece of advice:
The 1% put this system into play - it's called debt slavery. They directed their bought & paid for politicos to craft the legislation we have today. Specifically, laws that enabled private actors to leverage deposits that were covered by public guarantees.
Student debt is merely one facet of the entire program. But don't take any time to understand the issues - it's far, far too convenient to mouth mindless slogans and other typical responses that ensure that the status quo will never be challenged.
And that's a good thing - at least for me. For you and other dupes, your struggles are only just beginning. Maybe some day you'll wake up and realize how all levels of government essentially committed treason and violated the public trust in service of their masters.
