Forgive Student Loan Debt
Robert Applebaum and Kevin Bartoy are better than super heroes. They're ordinary people who are questioning WHY in the fuck former college students should be straddled with unbearable debt FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES?!
How does crippling debt and non-existent credit = healthy free-market capitalism???
How are we supposed to be good little mindless consumers and help drive the ponderous engine of the Western World forward when we can't even afford the cheap plastic crap at Mall-Wart?
What I've been wondering for the last half dozen years is, what's next?
Will debtor's prisons make a come back ala Charles Dickens?
Or will we just have privatized corporate prisons where everybody gets let out for the day to go work and then comes home to lock down?
