Who do you think wrote those regulations? Banks get paid twice if you default as they often own the collections agency for the delinquent debt while they get fully reimbursed for all remaining balance, there is zero incentive to not make someone default.

Indoctrination, not skills is the point of the excersize in our current incarnation of a primary education system. It certainly doesn't have to be that way.

Govt. f*cks things up...Statist blames "da' corporations"...
Dude promotes socialism...makes excuses when socialist schools spend $150,000/student & turn out ignorant, brainwashed, economically-unviable adults...

Whines about student loan debt voluntarily taken out by legal adults to voluntarily pursue 'higher' education...says nothing about the ungodly amount stolen from taxpayers to fund the daytime prisons/indoctrination camps children/young adults are forced into for 13 years.

Good intentions & compassion are not the same.
Your general replies reminded me of this quote.
when we lack an internal sense of truth, meaning, or value, we will seek after external models to live by. Once we have found models that suit us, we then impose them upon our own expression and behaviors. After that, we “naturally” seek to impose them on others as well–for “their own good” of course, but really for our own safety and comfort and to ensure that those adopted values–our crucial fictions–are never questioned. To silence all voices of dissent, both inner and outer, and avoid all “contrapuntal conflict.”

I have some compassion for ignorant/dumb people who make bad decisions (like loading up on student loan debt to pay for an overpriced/unproductive degree) based on bad advice (mostly from Leftists)...however, I have more compassion for the people who are forced to bailout these ignorant/dumb people.
This is the problem w/'compassionate' Leftists: they only see one side of the equation & are so into Victimhood Culture that they often fail to hold individuals accountable for their own acts.
Is taxing an already-stretched-thin middle-income earner in order to pay for the mistakes of others an act of 'compassion'...?
In this very thread we have the college edumacated shamangineer--who bragged that he makes 3X as much as I (who chose to go into the work force after high school) do--whining about his student loan debt...and yet, despite making 3X as much as me, this massive turd thinks I should pay for his education.
I say FUCK THAT and FUCK HIM!

Man, Hisich, you could really use some psilocybin mushrooms to help you deal with all of your shadows that you've been projecting on this forum, since day one.
Look, I can respect that you have your own made-up opinions about certain things, but why do you even bother keeping all that venom inside your heart? Doesn't it drain your psyche?
On top that, you're literally being an ass to members.
I'll still give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't come here with the intention to burn shit down, but you gotta relax.
Live, and let live. Smoke a little smoke.

A lot! John Taylor Gatto has several books which cover the subject.
