Bankruptcy does not erase student loans;

I thought you and someone else above were saying it should. Even so, if they don't pay, what happens?

I think calling them victims might be going a bit far. I've known many people who've gone that route, and despite info that should have dissuaded them from doing it, they did it anyway. They made really bad decisions. I don't think they are any more a victim than someone who majors in "women's studies" or psychology at an expensive university. On the other hand, I still get sick to my stomach thinking about what happened to some of these people and especially their kids (unfortunately their poor decisions were not limited to academic choices).

How do you "get" the schools? If there is a way, someone should. How do you stop the ridiculous loan situation? I suspect it is just your basic gov't idiocy of refusing to make a common sense decision to stop those types of loans. The "who am I to say this type of education is illegitimate" type thinking. Of course, maybe it is more intentional in the sense of campaign contributions, lobbying, etc. I don't know. At any rate, I'm not blaming the people who go to these schools, and I don't think those who run these schools and enable their practices should be let off the hook. But the people who choose these schools essentially bought a Yugo, and that's not my problem, or yours (unless you or I choose to personally help them out). But how can the government and the taxpayer afford to bail out everyone who makes a poor decision? kj.
