You don't make shitty loans for +$100,000 to some kid so he can pursue an art degree. Normally A loan officer that made shitty loans like that would get fired. Instead the government guarantees they will forever make shitty loans by making them non dischargable in bankruptcy. |

The trillions and trillions the U.S. squandered in Iraq, Libya Afghanistan and Syria could have been used to pay for education of the young ones. Instead that money is in the pockets of the military industrial complex. Now they can use that money to get another war started and make more windfall profits. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 67049949 United States 03/21/2016 05:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe this student loan fiasco has become so blatantly predatory, and so blatantly corrupted, that the vast majority of student borrowers are no longer morally obligated to pay back their loans. Their obligation isn't maintained by honesty and good faith, it's maintained by fear and the infliction of personal harm. That's not freedom at all. That's tyranny. No sane, moral, or healthy society devours its young. If you got suckered into 30+ years of debt before you could even buy a beer, the solution is simple: get the fuck out of the US. Forever. Assuming you have a degree, go to Asia and teach English. They absolutely do not give a fuck about your student loan debt. You'll start out making enough for a decent low-middle class lifestyle. You'll have TIME to feel the ground beneath your feet and plan a real life for yourself, in Asia or elsewhere. DO NOT sacrifice your one life to fuel some asshole's private jet. |

Quoting: about time 70507464 Obviously, if they have garnished their pay, THEY ARE WORKING. Can't garnish an unemployed person. Duh And why do you extend "mercy" to every other type of borrower? Furthermore, why do you think it's a good idea that the money lenders and $100,000 salary faculty and administrators don't bare any responsibility in this +1,000,000,000,000 dollar student debt bubble-fiasco that is about to burst? THIS ISN'T EVER GOING AWAY AND WON'T BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG WITH WAGE GARNISHMENTS ON THE FEW THAT DID GET JOBS!!!! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69426152 United States 03/21/2016 06:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What you need to know about these loans is that the interest rates average around 8%-9%. To put that in perspective, the current federal funds rate is 0.50%, the current average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage 3.73%, so the government and financial institutions are making a killing off the little slaves by locking them in at above market interest rates. Also as an added bonus/quirk with students loans they cannot be gotten rid of in bankruptcy and the unpaid interest Capitalizes DAILY! Not monthly like standard loans. This will cause a delinquent $200,000 loan to balloon to $1,000,0000 within a period of a few years and so forth, making you a slave till death. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69616707 So tired of these entitled snowflakes. Wouldnt be a problem if people had nice careers available in mass for the tens of thousands of yearly graduates. If most could just find a solid position in their field this would be no problem. The work just is not their for most of the graduates to pay back the loans. 120,000 in debt plus interest equals 300,000, not to mention daily bills, food, rent, etc. The money just is not their nor are the jobs. yes you signed on the line, with the notion that the economic idea of available positions were present for your field. I cant even begin to tell you how bad the BLS stats are at field prospects and base pay, its all inflated to make .gov look like its doing well. I pay mine, but its by the grace of god that it happens. It could go belly up with a few bad months at my business. Most are not that lucky. |

The government gets all "serious" about the student loans, then Hillary and/or Bernie promise to pay them off for students - then students vote for the communists. It's all cause and effect. Everything with the government is scripted. |
