I'm not debating that. But do you not find it more than just coincidental that the uptick in late student loan payments begins exactly when OWS hit the streets. I think it's far more than mere coincidence, I think it's those clowns who all think their debt should be wiped clean simply not paying out of "principle".
I see what you did there
I know a friend of a friend - just finished anesthesia school & owes something like $175K in student loans - she thinks she shouldn't have to pay it - she genuinely believes she is owed any education she wants. She makes just shy of $200K now and thinks she shouldn't pay her loans off. Scary.
This is exactly the problem. Too many people taking out a ton of money for an education and thinking that they should not have to sacrifice anything to get it. This person you mention is making 16k a month gross and won't pay back 1k a month. Just plain stupid.
