Bagley’s entire financial picture would be interesting. How much eating out and entertainment? What is he driving? What does his rental look like? A lot of questions.

And we ate dirt, and we were thankful for the dirt.

Justin Trudeau and his henchwoman Christia Freeland have come up with a quick and painless “get out of debt” free card.

Perhaps these people could resort to that solution.

And I'm still on the hook for my car loan and mortgage. It just isn't fair. America is supposed to be the land of the free. You know, like smash and grab. How in the hell are all the illegals wading across the Rio Grande ever going to be able to pay for their law degrees so they can sue Americans? It just isn't fair!!! Hrumpf! Hrumpf! SARC/

I see a big drop off of GoFundMe donations, sales of cell phones and a lot less screwing around in our National Parks as well as six month vacations in Europe. Sarc/

Well, don’t you work your butt off doing preps, gardening, etc.?

What’s wrong with working your butt off?

I’m going to say this and it’s something to consider

I’m for loan forgiveness for certain degrees. Say a doctor. We really need doctors! We will always need doctors! That one is a given.

However what we don’t need is gender studies majors. Now that is BS. You take out a loan on that degree you can pay it back.

If Channel 3000 News was trying to elicit sympathy for those trying to pay off student loans, they failed. The Bagley guy came off as an elitist himself....

Well Boo F*ing Hoo. They signed a contract to do something and now it’s too hard and they don’t want to do it.

Choices have consequences! Unless a person signed an agreement/contract under duress or fraud - the parties mentioned in the agreement/contract are "RESPONSIBLE" for meeting the document's terms and conditions.

My mortgage is too expensive - where's my bail out!

My car payment is too expensive - where's my bail out!

My credit card payment is too expensive - where's my bail out!

...

What the government should do is allow school loans to take full advantage of our bankruptcy laws. As it stands, the government makes it difficult to do so. This is done to protect the lending institutions and the schools. This must end. If lending institutions and the schools are more vulnerable to students expunging their debt through bankruptcy, those institutions will think twice before lending out $150K for a creative writing degree.

Students getting bankruptcy relief will offer student a "bail out".

Choices have consequences! Don't sign unless you understand what you're agreeing to and your responsibility.

I know a lady who’s daughter is in her mid forties. Took out loans ad got a worthless degree in Marine Biology. The lady didn’t want to be an American so took off for Europe, got married, and has settled nowhere as she drags her screwed up kid between 3 countries.

She still owes 62K in student loan debt and was texting her mother to pray this for taxpayer funded debt relief for her never used waste of a degree would go through.

I had to hold back my disgust because this neurotic over vaxed nutcase irritates me to the core.
