    My position is this is a crazy situation that no one is talking about. This recent delay is a huge news considering how firm they were on no more delays.

    Student and car loans represent 3 trillion in basically unsecured consumer debt. If they turn these loans back on and people default at the same time that car values sink from chip shortage ending its gonna be a problem.

    Also you didn't mention how this is all connected with the GI bill and how the poor people have help with this burden as long as they get inserted into that system to make money lockhead/raytheon etc etc. The US government doesn't know what to do at this point. Meaning how long is this system sustainable before it collapses in on itself?

    All the Boomers. Bastards had cheap college and housing and pulled up the ladder behind them.

    They were making "they expect you to pay them back now" jokes about student loan debt in How I Got Into College wtih Six Feet Under dad, Charles Rocket and Anthony Edwards 30 years ago; back when 8 semesters at Cullen or Clear Lake was less than each of my parents' triennial used SEL or Volvo buys at Sterling McCall.

    This is ****ing ridiculous . Inflation tearing into the economy and we have people getting degrees they never should have if they thought with their head

    college is a money making scheme and the rest of us shouldn’t get saddled for these decisions especially if we worked 2/3 jobs on top of studying to pay—-so we wouldn’t be stuck in that position.


    Biden will have a hard time being worse than trump but damn
