Good. Dead-beat hippies need to pay back what they took.

Student loans and the cost of going to college is becoming a form of indentured servitude.

University been turned into a massive money making scam.
Even here in the UK the government encouraged kids thats would have been better off in vocational trades to take bull# degrees that are pretty much worthless. Only people that win are the universitys and loan providers. The students just end up flipping burgers with massive debt.

It sounds like loansharking. They even have thugs to bust down your door.

And what's even better, good ole boy Bernie Sanders wants to give EVERY kid free college, essentially flooding the market and devaluing the degree that some of us worked our ass offfor. I was a full time student (12-18 credit hours every quarter), I worked my day job 7-5pm every day and then I did night school from 5:45 to 10pm at night 4 nights a week.. It really pisses me off that I could possibly need to pay off my loan after all that hard work, while some other kids may get it for nothing...

I'm screwed by student loans and bad mistakes, I don't want others to suffer the same fate as I did. Sorry your so selfish you'd rather more generations screwed over like us. Is like a black man being against slavery being abolished cause it would mean his descendants didn't have to be slaves like he was.

So because you got the shaft, everyone should get the shaft? That doesn't seem like a defensible position to me.

Sanders wants to give all kids free college... Do you know how stupid that is? Flooding the market with even more grads sounds like a wonderful idea... Kids already can't find employment post graduation, so hey, why not put even more candidates flooded into the market... Also, how about the fact it devalues the degrees already out there? Or the fact that some of us paid our own way through.. so we just keep paying off our loans we committed to, while others get free college? Do Bernie Sanders fans even think? Bernie is beyond clueless with all his retarded promises he keeps making, that he'll never be able to fund...
