    No private loans here. Have enough to pay off the last of my student loans sitting in savings. Also no kids (by choice not lack of financial security). Speaking of which I’m very financially secure.

      I’m of the same opinion my brother and/or sister. Thank god income-based repayment seems to be making some progress. Unfortunately with cost of living the way it is, even “double the poverty line” won’t help everyone who really needs it.

      And don’t even get me started on the lack of bankrupcy protection for student loans, like actually what the hell was the rationalle behind that.

        actually what the hell was the rationalle behind that.

        I’m going to guess that someone’s Brother’s Uncle’s Neice’s father’s former roommate heard about a guy who was making a million dollars a day as a lawyer or doctor, and they discharged their student loans through bankruptcy, so of course based on this we must lobby congress, while caterwauling about how disadvantaged the poor banking industry is when being taken advantage of by all these evil college grads who are making $12 per hour.

        If there’s a legitimate reason let’s hear it and treat my comment like the ignorant hate speech that it is.
