[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I’m glad the mass handout/naked buying of votes that is student loan “reform” isn’t going to happen. I’m an immigrant who grew up in poverty and abuse and had no choice but to get $200k in debt to get through professional school. I spent the next 15 years going without, buying secondhand suits on eBay and at thrift shops, living in impoverished areas of cities for cheap rent, forgoing vacations etc., with home buying completely out of reach, all to pay off that debt. Most of my classmates paid only the minimum and enjoyed nice lifestyles. As a result, their loans ballooned.

For them to now get to play victim and reach into taxpayer funds to pay what they should have paid is wrong.

I’d like to see any student loan reform calculate what the debtor should’ve been able to pay over the term of the loan and set that aside as the debtor’s sole responsibility before any talk of “forgiving” the rest. People who chose not to pay off their loans should not benefit from their own greed. [/quote]

Boo hoo. 200k 15 years ago means you're a doctor. It also means that you're not a very well paid doctor if it took you 15 years of sacrifice to repay them [/quote]
I am not a doctor, but you are an idiot. People like you are exactly why I oppose student loan debt reform. If you have enough time and energy to mouth off at people online, then you have enough time and energy to do whatever is needed to pay off your own loans.[/quote]

You took out 200k in debt 15 years ago for something other than med school? Sure [/quote]
You’re doing a great job minding others’ business. Now, go mind your student loans. [/quote]

If you're going to make up stories, at least be believable [/quote]
