Taxpayers and other lenders have little risk of losing money on the loans, unlike mortgages made during the real estate bubble. Congress has given the lenders, the government included, broad collection powers, far greater than those of mortgage or credit card lenders. The debt can't be shed in bankruptcy.

ReplyDeleteThese kids are not going to stand still for that shit - their feelings of entitlement and need for instant gratification might actually work toward some good. If they all quit paying at one time, what's to be done? Can't put 'em all in jail at one time. A few smart ones will figure out a way to get the Bankruptcy Code changed so that student loan debt can be included and then all hell will break out.
