Pearl Harbor was a tragedy. Our response and therefore saving the world from tyranny and stomping out dictators in two continents is a great cause for celebration and pride.
Exactly, those are the real world consequences of buying things you can’t afford. Student loans should be no different. So making a bare minimum payment of $x.xx amount 240 times is ok if you have six figures of debt? Then tax payers just cover it?
It will definitely affect the long term, big picture economy; it already is. But that should encourage our high schools, counselors, colleges, admissions offices, FAFSA, 17 year olds, gov’t officials, everyone to learn about the costs of higher education and what they will be on the hook for. This is a systemic failure from top to bottom, but forgiving the current debts is an even bigger failure.
Note my comment was very early on here. I’m glad to see people acknowledging this is incredibly foolish & agreeing you should pay for your decisions, no matter what they are. I also agree with everything else you are saying on this topic above H&H.

H&H is totally right here. You can’t buy things and not pay them back or expect Bernie to save you from your financial responsibilities. When that happens it sets people up for financial irresponsibilities down the road. Will they then expect their mortgages to be forgiven if they lose a job or get sick? Will they buy a BMW and expect to be bailed out when they can’t pay that off?
If paying off your loans isn’t in the cards, then too bad. Live in debt for the rest of your life. Or make some grown up decisions and budget accordingly.
No wonder our gov’t is fucked up and in debt it will never pay off. Wonder if millennials will bitch about this “bailout” like they bitch about Wall St. being bailed out.
Where do I get “the blue checkered J. Crew shirt that every guy has but would still melt your ovaries if worn by Humpty fucking Dumpty.” Asking for a friend…
What if you have a liquor cabinet instead? I know it isn’t as obvious as a bar cart per se, but it helps hide my alcoholism and is really well organized.

I wish I was 25. PGP.
Damn that slut Jessica from seventh grade!
My actual name is Chris. Sup?
Sorry, but what is EQ?
This is 100% fact.
Was “stop drinking 12 beers each night” your New Year’s resolution? If so, congrats.
Nice work on the generic email. I woulda added either “69” or “420” to the end but I am a child.

I am very interested to see what you come up with for the throwaway email.

Too bad Finn doesn’t read “Brides”.

Wait, so you have been dating the same guy for over 4 years now & you’re still not engaged? What level of hints are your dropping at this point?

No shit. 😉
I had great wedding night sex (not sure about my wife). Was the perfect level of drunk also, so that’s either good by me or bad.
Not yet…
