I mean, seriously. I was stupid enough to take on the burden of student loans. At least give me the dignity of having the responsibility of paying them off.

    Isn’t that the argument.

    There’s an unspoken agreement between a country and its youth.

    The youth works hard and takes on debt at a pivotal moment losing years of work opportunity to specialize in something that will contribute to the economy.

    In return the country is to provide a stable economy to find work so these people can repay that debt over time.

    Question is when the country fails their end, the student still owes and is behind in experience. This debt can ruin them for decades. So should the government help repay to compensate for shitting the bed
