    Assholes are like locusts! Please move all democrats to Cali then slide that bitch into the ocean rather than let the disease spread.

    I have no idea what your evidence is, but I laughingly support it. He's a jackass and they're fury, so sure.

    It's just another piece of his colorful history.

    In my area, a prospective roofer without the required prerequisites would have a steep learning curve. The ability to communicate in Spanish is essential.

    I bought my first car when I was fifteen. I constantly see young men travelling by foot or on a bicycle suited for a nine year old. Apparently, priorities have changed. My pimply young ass was going to have a ride available for the young ladies, come what may. I blame the girls. They have apparently lowered their standards significantly. To be fair, it's hard to do an honest day's work when you have a phone in one hand and need the other hand to prevent your pants falling to the ground.

    In limited defense of the slackers, government intervention has made it more difficult for youngsters to find work and limits what they are allowed to do. As an example, I used to make good money cutting grass. There were limited number of professionals. People are far more willing now to pay professionals farm more money for what kids used to do.

    Why, did they not deliver what they were paid for?

    Why the fuck should I have to pay for your choice to indebt yourself with college tuition? I didn't go to college and party for 4 years, I fucking worked. Pay your own bills, bad choice or not.

    No they didn't. You miss the point. Imagine you go to buy a car. You're told the car has 300hp and will get 30mpg. All of the EPA ratings, reviews, etc are in cahoots to support this. Every bit of information you can find tells you that the car is great and you've got to have this car if you want to get anywhere. The government enables/provides easy loans for this car so everyone can buy them. The car manufacturer recognizes this and jacks the price up 150% (2 and a half times more than it used to be). Believing all the info you're receiving, you take out the loan and buy the car. Problem is, the car is a piece of shit. It's got barely 100hp and gets horrible gas mileage. And everybody else has the same car, so there's no resale value. Now you're stuck with a virtually worthless car and a massive debt.


    The issue is NOT taking on debt for college, it's taking on MASSIVE debt due to artificially inflated prices caused by a series of lies and other deceitful practices at multiple levels within the Education lobby, the government, and the financial sector (if you don't think the same shenanigans that were/are going on with mortgages aren't also going on with student loan debt, you're crazy).

    Um, we get it but don't give a shit that you blew it buying a car you have no use for.

    Quite simply there is no excuse for the students CHOOSING to go into massive debt no matter what they were led to believe. The real information was and is out there and has been beyond easy for this current generation of college grads to access. Doesn't matter who you wish to blame - unless you get the schools to pay back the money the debt belongs to those students and no one else. Getting the taxpayers involved is pure and utter bullshit.

    BTW - didn't and don't give a shit about the idiots getting screwed on mortgages either because yet again the CHOSE to buy more house than they could actually afford. Doesn't matter if they got suckered into it any more than those idiots who get payday loans or title loans. There are always salesmen out there misleading people, either nuke them or don't but do not expect me to pay for them being successful at conning the stupid.

    If you didn't research the field of study and talk to people with those degrees, your research was insufficient.

    Here. Here. Thank you.
    Take responsibility for you actions. In everything. Period.
    Everything I've read to the contrary is victim mentality bullshit.

    Google has been around since 1998. Big enough to go public in 2004. Everyone bitching about their loans had the option to just google their choice.

    You bought a degree. What you can do with that degree doesn't change the fact that you chose to buy it. Nobody's fault but your own. You signed for the loan, so you and you alone are responsible for paying it back.
