"yep. I borrowed the money, I promised to pay it back. It's the path I chose, why should anyone have to bail me out?
If nothing else, what this effort will succeed in doing is perpetuating a stereotype that our generation is a pampered bunch of selfish assholes who feel entitled to anything and everything without having to work, sweat or otherwise earn our positions in the world of grown-ups. Despite reality."What a dumb response. Why should anyone bail you out? Because it's the interest of our nation. Because having an educated workforce is good for everyone. Someday people are going to realize that having an educated and healthy population is a GOOD thing, something to fight and sacrifice for above all else.
I have to agree with eryx...the Baby Boomers enjoyed incredibly cheap college education thanks to Government subsidy. That generation now holds almost all of the earning power. THEY had the world handed to them...the education, the jobs, the resources....Generation X and Y are now dealing with the mess they have caused. From electing President Bush to fucking up the Financial system, the Baby Boomers can eat shit. The Me-Generation will go down as one of the most disasterous in history, if anyone is brave enough to admit it.
