I do not wish to date myself, but I grew up in an age and moral environment where the failure to pay back debt was stealing.

The Democrats have all along created an atmosphere where people knew there were few consequences of not paying the debt.

In addition, there were already special exceptions for debt cancellation, fireman, police, etc. This has already caused a very high delinquency rate.

There is a lot of chatter about students being cheated, etc. maybe so, but we are talking about the most educated portion of the population.

My wife and I have severely reduced our standard of living in order to make sure our grandchildren (perfect grandchildren) graduate from college without debt. Now we are paying for other people to go to college.

Imagine you are working in a poultry processing plant for $15/hour worrying about paying your rent and medical bills and you read about families making $250,000/year not having to pay their bills - that is about four times our income. Then the Democrats wonder why the working-class votes Republican - duh.
