Hopefully (some think) we will still be able to avoid that nasty "r" word (responsibility). It's not been 24 hours since the HALF TRILLION "idea" was struck down by SCOTUS, and the "interpreters" have begun. Our Secretary of "Education", Miguel Cardona has been on every major network already, telling students how the administration will not give up, and they should not either, that they will now try the higher education act to see if they can find a loophole that will allow debt forgiveness. One poor student, just 2 years out of grad school, had managed to save 12K, a small but steady amount he saved from part time work during his student days, and a significantly larger amount since he began his career in finance after completing his MBA. He was going to use this money for a down payment on a home, now, he said, it's all going to be depleted to pay back his loans, are you weeping for him yet ? Maybe the story of a young lady will bring the tears. She JUST graduated, also from grad school, also MBA. She had used part of her student loan to purchase her first brand new automobile (explained she has driven old, beat up cars all of her life, are you brought to tears now ?), and now she said, she "might" have to let this car, she called her "dream car", go back in order to pay her student loans ! Dang, wonder what made me think I had any obligation to work in the IGA super market, in the doughnut shop, and use any time I could have gotten some sleep, to work in the university library ? And, I deeply believe I am the fortunate one to have gone to school at a time when one had no choice but to pay one's debt, I am eternally grateful for having had that pressure, or as some call it, "responsibility".
