I also find it very interesting that folks are more than happy to rebuild Iraq or Afghanistan; assisting Japan with Tsunami relief, etc. But, when comes to helping our fellow Americans, we have all these reasons why our fellow Americans are deadbeats, that they don't want to work... they don't want to pay their bills. Americans are somehow not worthy.
We support the demonstrating masses of countries that want to change their government, but we demonize those who would do the same in our own country (OWS).
We send billions and billions of dollars around the world to help folks, but we don't want to help our own.

I think the "common denominator" in your example above is that the "people complaining" realistically ask, "
Who's going to repay the loan?", while the beneficent, magnanimous democrat "givers" reply, "Oh geez.....Who cares about THAT!"
The problem with government and politicians is that whenever they "give" a break to one group, they "
take" from another to compensate for the "gift" they gave, and in this case they will
take from the very taxpaying parents who did not qualify for government grants and could not afford to send their kids to college in the first place....the reason they took out the loans.
It gets really old hearing democrats label us as cruel and selfish and unwilling to help others just because we expect government to spend money it actually HAS or will have!
