It's not like the students don't realize they are piling up debt. They elected to do it and now it appears some have no intent of repaying the debt. They expect the government to bail them out with other people's money.

When I enlisted in 1971 I had a student loan debt of $3,000. That doesn't sound like much now but my base pay started at $250 a month and I still managed to pay that off on an e-4's pay even though it could have been waived until my discharge,

The difference is honor and integrity. These whiners need to get out of their parent's basements and get any job, not just the $200,000 a year job they think they deserve.

College education has become no different than the real estate industry. Prices are inflated for no other reason than the fact that people are willing (and encouraged) to borrow large sums of money to conduct business with these “sellers.”
