Sorry that crap isn’t going to play. This isn’t some fool that charged up $30k in plastic surgery (which is dischargeable debt), most of these folks went into debt for programs which led to no jobs.
Make school loans dischargeable and we’ll see how hard schools push loans.
I like it.
“. . .most of these folks went into debt for programs which led to no jobs.”
Meaning, most went and got degrees that led to no jobs, like post-colonial transgender afro-Polynesian art studies, for example.
Thing is, these guys knew when they took the money they would have to pay it back, especially when they were in college and after graduation.
They chose to walk away and that is dishonorable behavior and should not be allowed to pass. Perhaps if they tried to re-structure the debt and work something out, but after decades it is clear even to Ray Charles they never intend to pay it back.
Therefore, to let them skate conveys the message that it is okay to take a student loan and don’t bother about paying it back, “they” won’t ever come after you so just skate on the suckers (taxpayers) that funded you.
“Make school loans dischargeable and we’ll see how hard schools push loans.”
That is an interesting suggestion. Right now, in my experience while teaching college, the schools try to get everyone some sort of loan or grant. . .everyone.
Cheers.
