re: Today's issue of personal responsibility: student loans

People need to stop borrowing money for shite they can't afford.

I don't care if the bank charged them 50% interest. YOU signed. The government, banks, businesses, etc...are not your parents. They are not there to bail you out because you didn't do your due diligence and make a logical financial decision about you and your kid's future.

It's come to this...society today, in any unfortunate situation, must have someone to blame. This includes the exclusion to the individual directly involved making the choice to get themselves into said unfortunate situation.

The days of personal responsibility....GONE.

The days of accepting the consequences of one's actions, and learning from that consequence....GONE
