Elon Musk can get loaned billions of dollars, step on every available rake in the space of two weeks, and declare bankruptcy . . . but you are stuck with those student loans till they're done or you're dead.
@erin_bartram I do believe there needs to be counterparty risk for lenders. If you make a bad loan, there must be consequences. Backing it by the federal government and not allowing debt discharged in bankruptcy is absolutely predatory. And it’s often children who can’t even vote
@erin_bartram Our university sucks and has been devoid of morals, values & actual education (for the bulk of degrees) for decades now. Why is ANYONE going into debt to support that? (I did, 30 years ago, it was a bad choice then!) Just stop it. Demand reform, not relief for poor choices.
@erin_bartram That’s also private money. His money, his problem.
@erin_bartram Don't get 6-figures in debt for useless degrees.
@erin_bartram Because a student loan is a lease on your freedom
@erin_bartram No one told you to take the student loans in the first place
@erin_bartram No you (they) aren't. Pay your f-ing debts. Or maybe don't take out loans you can't afford or refuse to pay back. Doing business is not the same as taking on debt as an individual, BTW.
@erin_bartram Nobody would issue you a student loan if it could be discharged in bankruptcy. You're not credit worthy.
@erin_bartram Elon didn't sign any of you up for loans. Elon didn't pick your major. How about you put your big boy pants on and own your own life?
