H8tank Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 In the dark of night over the weekend when most people were snoozing, the Treasury dramatically expanded its bailout plan to include buying student loans, car loans, credit card debt and any other "troubled" assets held by banks. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Even if you don’t earn enough to owe federal income taxes, you may get a refund from the IRS if you qualify for the EITC. If you qualify, it could be worth up to $4,716 for the 2007 tax year. Even though it sounds too good to be true, it isn’t. In 2007, more than 22.4 million taxpayers received over $43.7 billion in earned income credits by filing their 2006 federal income tax returns. Free college, free car, free credit cards and cash back too! It's the New economy! Hope! Change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Those 18 year olds who think that edumacation is the way to progress in society are really nogoodnicks. Why don't they get a job to pay for college rather than borrow the money? How hard can it be to make 40,000$ a year as a high school grad to pay for a top school? Frikkin' slacker idiots As opposed to the nice responsible home buyers that predicated their loan on the pie in the sky notion that their house value would increase a gabillion fold over the next year. Yeah. The 18 year old trying to get an education is to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. The 18 year old trying to get an education is to blame those 18yo(just like everyone else involved in this debacle) signed a contract that they would pay back the monies they borrowed. very simple.

dmarc117 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 They also expected the economy to be doing well enough to hire them after school. and the people that over extended themselves in home purchases, car purchases, and cc purchases all say the same thing. pay off your debts. its very simple.

You ask "who swindeled these deadbeats that can't pay off school loans" The answer is an educational system that predicates your future by and large on the quality of your education, and guaranteeing that a quality education will set you back around 100,000$. The 18 year old has no choice but to sign the contract. The swindlers at the top did. I am not saying that college loans should be forgiven at all. But to throw them under the bus when they are a drop in the bucket is a little...well...mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
