The answer is in the middle and it is equitable for all parties involved. Very simple. If you have the means to repay your loans, but just aren't doing so - wage garnishment (you cannot just steal money from the government). If you do not, volunteer man-hours to the federal government and if you won't do that - wage garnishment.
I mean, our courts system already does this for people convicted of misdemeanor crimes. Can't pay your fines? Community service.
Yes, you're an idiot.

This is the problem with the average American voter, at even the first sign of hardship or difficulty they turn on the very politicians who are attempting to fix the massive spending problems. Here is the hard truth: we either try to fix it now or there is a time coming very soon where fixing it will no longer be an option and that level of economic pain will be unfathomable for nearly every American including you. Every person’s savings, pensions, and investments that aren’t in tangible assets like gold, land, or minerals will be wiped out so sure get upset over people having to pay the bills they created or keep ignoring it till it can no longer be ignored.

Food is a national security interest. Yeah there is some level of fraud there too that should be rooted out.
Dumbass with a psych degree and government student loan debt is not. Needs to get the frick working in a trade or something.

I actually think this will have the opposite effect. People don't like freeloading college students.

Also, I don't have any problems with philosophy majors, even if they work at McDonalds. They're some of my favorite people to talk to.

Especially when you see what's going on now at places like Brown. frickin bastard leftists literally took down their CCTV cameras so as to confound ICE agents and allowed a lunatic leftist to brutally murder people and get away.
These universities had better start thinking about the security of their endowments. Brown should lose theirs immediately. And their entire administration, campus police, and local PD leadership should all be thrown in jail.

I thought the same thing when I read that. That's the best misspelling I've heard in awhile. Or maybe the cleverest.

This is good. Don’t like it; do not go into default.

They should have been doing this all along; from day one. Trump is doing a lot of things that simply were unchecked and/or ignored.

Not exactly.
Trump took it from them first in the form of tariffs and you paid them back for him.

That's awful, and a good example, but the assassination of Charlie Kirk is still the most glaring example of the rot and decay happening on our college campuses.

If you want to defund the police, spend a year in democrat run cesspool and you'll see how important the police are to your survival.

Upvoted, but the Brown shooting was a mass casualty event that is now being shown to be a collosal case of malfeasance at every level from the university all the way up to the county level law enforcement.
It's one of the most egregious things I've ever read about. Up and to include the school shooting down in Texas where the chief of police ordered his officers to set up a perimeter around the building and not enter while the gunman continued his rampage unimpeded for like an hour.
Everyone involved should fry.
The Charlie Kirk murder, while egregious and tragic, still doesn't rise to this level. Imo anyways. This is why the Trump administration is now investigating Brown.

They pretty much are. But we aren't there yet. We really just need a shift back to the way it was back in the 60s and 70s in that regard. When I was studying landscape architecture I was kinda surprised to find out that back then your landscape architect would actually plan into your project space cut out for your vegetable garden.
We should go back to everyone growing their own veggies. But again, we aren't there yet. It would require our society to become less specialized to get us there. These days we have gotten to the point where the average American doesn't know how to change their own frickin oil in their car. We have specialists for that.
So for now, the farmers are relied upon more than ever. And if they are being punished due to a foreign affairs dispute initiated by our own government, someone has to pick that bill up or people will starve.
I appreciate the principle (
) behind the sentiment, but this isn't the reality we find ourselves in. That's my main problem with libertarians. Their ideas are sound, imo, but they advocate for things that cause too much shock to the system. We need to phase our way back into that worldview. Not just jump there from square one.
