Students Debt Leads To Suicide

[Left Coast2020]

When the story was posted on several different sites in 2007 and 2008, the Internet chatter was not always kind to the dead man. While many expressed great sympathy for Yoder and ranted against the student lending system, others were quick to invoke the “personal responsibility” argument — “it was his fault;” “why did he take out that amount of loans?;” “Mr. Yoder took out those loans . . . he had an obligation to pay them back.” — and denigrate him.

If previous history is any example, nothing will happen to resolve this unless many more people take their lives, or until someone important notices and pushes it into CNN or ABC, or other organization. Then Cluster Faux will say this doesn't happen and Obama or democrats made this up, and we need to focus more on tax cuts, or government spending. There is a site called "studentloanForgivness.org that is pushing for forgiving student debt with H.R.4170 (?). Fairly sure that is bill number. But it won't see daylight till after election. Just a guess.

1. If we can bail out the millionaire bankers, we can bail out the students...

4. I see your millionaire bankers and raise you...

Bailouts, subsidies, no-bid contracts, and tax breaks of

Big Ag
AIG (insurer, though connected to banks)
Big Oil
Private prisons
Private mercenaries
Defense contractors

I'm sure there's more but that's all I want to think of just now.

Remember, though, children are our future, and America loves it's children... yeah, right? If only....

2. One of the terrible things about this is that many surviving parents have not only lost a child, who

probably did everything that they thought was right, but they may have also guaranteed the student loans and may now be on the hook for the debt that their child could not pay.

5. Those sharks thought of everything didn't they....

6. I keep thinking of those who voted to prevent student loans from being dischaged in bankruptcy.

7. This is beyond depressing

Its more like inhumane, or somewhere in that category. I saw a story here a month ago--maybe elsewhere that the CEO of Sallie Mae is building a second golf course at his house? Why does god allow immoral people like this to exist? Thats what I want to know.

8. Charge the executives with murder when a grad commits suicide

These needless deaths make my blood boil. I'm convinced that the banksters had this all planned out so that they only way former students can escapt debt slavery is death.

The entire executive board of the loan companies should be charged with one count of murder for each student loan debt suicide. Plus, they should have their assets frozen while they're awaiting trial and forfeited if and when convicted.
