I don’t blame the kids.
The people are the top are louts.
If Congress isn’t serious about fiscal discipline, why should we expect our children to sacrifice?
We can’t expect our kids to do the right thing, if we don’t see the example.
That’s what we haven’t been doing. And they’re right - we’ve failed them!
That they didn’t have the best of examples may be quite true, but at the end of the day the only people who failed these idiots is themselves. They are, supposedly, adults - after all, they can vote, drive and drink, can’t they - so they are, ultimately, responsible for their own actions, and in particular are responsible for managing their own financial affairs in a prudent manner.
Anyone with half a brain can see that going $50k to $100k into debt for a degree that leads to a job paying $20k to $40k a year is sheer idiocy, so those amongst these babies who couldn’t even make that simple calculation deserve their own fate.
The communists knew that they had to destroy the educational system to break America - so they did.
Our kids expect the school to provide everything, books, paper pencils, batteries, Klenex, food that they may want or need. Why wouldn't they expect it to be provided when they matriculate?
Our youth will implement death panels to provide what they want.

I agree completely. An old friend married his wife and she brought with her about $150k in student loans (she's a radiologist). Bought a house during the bubble, took out a equity loan WAY above the value of the home and paid off the loans. They then walked away from the house and took the hit on their credit rating, on advice of a tax attorney. Pisses me off because I've never not paid a bill in my life, always played by the rules and then seeing people pull that kind of sh*t just burns my butt.
I don't completely blame the kids. You can't expect a sensible business decision to come from the average public school 'graduate'. If fact, considering the mental state of most of these kids, and what they get in return, this could be considered predatory lending on steroids.
