The only difference now is that the middle class can be as permissive as the upper classes have always been. The poor still go to jail.

I'm sure the banks would be happy with that too.

That's not a new thing. You're just getting old. Younger generations have been

Except, until very recently, the younger generations were just ignored.

I don't understand your meaning. What has changed?

Obama's team got them to vote.

Yeah, the Baby Boomers have been so responsible.

The worst thing the Greatest Generation ever did, was not beat the crap out

boogers

Well someone has to pay for their second house and sailboat

YIsForBrigham

The Greatest Generation were poor parents. And Baby Boomers turned on their kids

mantis mutu

I think Baby Boomers have been very irresponsibly at an institutional level

mudpupper

10/8/15 9:48am

May I suggest that you know a small number Boomers. Why don't they retire?

CosmoK

The baby boomers are the idiots that created the permissive and indulgent

You should borrow $50 from her and then ask her to forgive the debt

KingDave

10/8/15 8:48am

I am OK with forgiving student debt to anyone with a marketable degree,

boogers

10/8/15 8:48am

As a former student who raked up over 200K in student dept I think forgiving

fiberpost

10/8/15 8:57am

LOL....wait you're joking right?

kotacoug

10/8/15 9:00am

Yes, because people with marketable degrees can actually repay their loans.

boogers

10/8/15 9:04am

Why would a lender want to forgive the loans of the people most likely to be

srey

10/8/15 9:10am

I was joking. I laugh at people that rack up huge debt to get degrees

boogers

10/8/15 9:15am

i'd be happy if the bank would just forgive my mortgage!

When we talk about predatory lending, ordinarily the lender is the predator.

TaiJuan

10/8/15 9:15am

True. predatory lender is not the right word. It would be

Baron

10/8/15 9:23am

Loose lending begats predatory sellers. It's the housing bubble scenario.

TaiJuan

10/8/15 9:24am

I agree, but for schools to raise tuition just to capture the money that they

Baron

If this were a private lender we'd be talking about wall street fat cats, not

TaiJuan

I agree. Both bad actors IMO. Government should tighten up and Universities

Germany just makes it free to begin with

TomPetty

Germany is responsible for WWII. Their system is different in almost every way.

Precisely my point

What are some examples of those false promises?

Answer this...why don't we just forgive all the US trilliions in debt?

docrick

Forgive? No. Bankrupt? Absolutely. Then the lenders might actually

byubyu

Allowing student loans to be bankrupted would instantly tighten up

I thought student loans were not discharged in bankruptcy.

byubyu

Just remove Federal insurance of loans. Would solve everything. Instantly.

Just save 450 k for dental school man, easy!

cougdonaldg

10/8/15 9:46am

Dental school probably wouldn't cost $450k if those loans weren't guaranteed

hansel

10/8/15 9:54am

I totally agree, maybe then kids could get back to "saving for school" instead

cougdonaldg

Why can't we just give everyone an above average income?

The best liberal arts colleges have low real tuition due to big endowments

TomPetty

There are a few elite colleges that can offer cheap tuition to poor folks.

Because I watched people at BYU get student loans to only blow the money on
