1. A woman I went to school with and her husband both lost their jobs

and blame Obama. Her husbands saw mill was bought out by another company. They eliminated an entire shift and wouldn't find a spot for him. Her grain terminal job was cut, I don't know the details. Both lost their jobs very shortly after Obama took office. I know none of his policies that could have caused what happened to them.

It's like the "Obama Lied and the Economy Died" bumper sticker I saw within Obama's first two years. It's what they want to believe.

2. one minor point- I doubt they lost their "Student Loan"

I suspect that sucker is going to follow them around until they die.

4. They will put a lien on their gravestone. n/t

5. If they could get a buck....

don't think they wouldn't.

7. If only . . .

. . . no, they'll go after their surviving relatives.

10. When you die, your student loan debt is

forgiven.

Debts, of any kind, never become legal obligations of relatives (unless the relative specified or guaranteed they would cover the debt). If a debt collector ever tries to coerce you into paying a relative's debt, report him to the consumer protection agency in your state.

11. I'm talking about future changes.

Similar to what they did with the bankruptcy law. Coming soon, legacy debt.

8. I think that is referring to the ability to get a student loan.

But you are right about it following you. Once you incur sudent loan debt, it is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

6. So, why is it that the Democrats hold the Presidency and the Senate and the

Republicans seem to have more power than ever?

...and why can't the Dems do that when they are a minority party?

[Bandit]

12. Democrats just need dry powder and they are completely happy.

[Blanks]

13. They control the part of the government where all spending originates - seems pretty simple really.

The reason the democrats don't 'choke out the government' is because its a completely irresponsible thing to do.
