from the dums. (Which hitlery wants to make much worse, of course).
“Another student loan wrinkle,” writes a reader: This may be a small part of the problem, but I know someone who is working in a highly skilled technical job but turns down her raises. (This is not hearsay.)
“If she makes a little more income or even a good bit more, she will have to start paying back her big student loan. She is single with three children and is on food stamps (and, from what she says, is on other welfare too; I am not privy to all, and I would not say anyway.)
“To live as she does now, she would have to almost double her salary. Under today's overall economy, she knows (and we know) that is not going to happen; neither the present company nor any company interviewed will come close to doubling her present salary. If she stays at her current salary, she can just barely make ends meet.
“She votes Democratic in hopes that the government will pass laws that will ‘forgive’ some of these loans under special circumstances.
“How many other ways does the government have people trapped in debt?
“Isn't the government just great?
“I am not, in any way, kin or involved.”
The 5: Wait, let’s see if we’ve got this right: She got a “highly skilled technical job” with the education her student loans made possible. But she turns down her raises and lives near a subsistence level... so her income stays below a certain threshold… so she doesn’t have to repay the loans?
Wow, it’s like Atlas Shrugged, but on acid…
