    Because there is no cap on student loans for the most part. Kids who just finished high school are sold on the concept of these loans without knowing what they are really getting into.

    If a guy can’t legally buy a beer, then they should not legally be allowed to sign up for 6 figure loans either

      Seems like an easy “hey you predators took advantage of me while I was young and naive” case.

      And then watch all the self serving reasons why we allow this just catch on fire.

        You think that hasn’t happened already, like nobody has ever had that thought?

        That’s what the entire student loan forgiveness from Biden was about, trying to eliminate people’s payments towards predatory student loans.
