Oh crap...I remember why.  America has this mythos of "If *I* had to do something one way everyone should.  Why should it be easier for someone else!"

So dumb.  

I always thought our job was to make it easier for the next generation.

John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States, once said:




What a country.  What a world.

Why is it you think they should get it free? What makes these students so much better than everyone else before them who worked hard for it. It's not my fault if they didn't read the terms of the loan. It's not my fault they chose low-paying degrees. 

As if on cue.

Why help others now if things were hard before?  Because that's what we're supposed to do...help others.  Especially those who came after us.  

We're supposed to be making things better, easier.  Not make them suffer as much as we did.
