Get Gov’t out of the student loan business and Gov’t not to guarantee loan payment.

if these debts were not guaranteed by govt and could be discharged in bk court the lenders would underwrite w/questions like dutch provided above–

Sounds like me explaining college to anyone who will listen.
I probably should’ve mentioned this video is TBP approved considering I wrote the script for it.

My 17 yo daughter is slowly starting to come around to reality.
We are insisting that she take the basics at the community college,and she is currently dual enrolled as a hs senior and a freshman at the cc.
When finished at cc,she’s going to the local state university,not going out of town or out of state.
She goes to school and works with a girl she has known since elementary school.I’d estimate that her parents are in their early to mid 40’s.
A few weeks ago she told my wife in disbelief,”Susie’s parents are still paying on their student loans!”
Despite that,the girl is going to go to Penn State because it is a family tradition.
