    Funny how the “You took a loan, pay it back” idiots never seem to care about dischargeable credit card and business debt.

    I guess that kind of debt needs a safety net since they might have some of that kind, while new adults who committed the crime trying to better themselves, that pursue integral vocations that society desperately needs but don’t pay well, like teaching and counseling, should just fry like piggies while their fellow Americans laugh at them out of sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

    Our values are wrong.
