Let no one forget that it was Pres_ent Obama who made it so that people couldn't discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy.

Why would student loan debt be different from any other loan in bankruptcy? Why forgive any loan outside of bankruptcy?

Student debt became undischargable in 1978.

Actually I believe that was Clinton in 1998.

Why lie? It was 1976 when the first limits on student loan discharge were passed by Congress.

The rules were further tightened in 1978, 1984, 1990 and 1998. In 2005 this was extended to private education loans as well.
