Before 1998, if you had been repaying your student loans for seven years but were in such financial difficulty that you qualified for bankruptcy, you could discharge your student loans. But in 1998, Buck McKeon (R-CA) wrote legislation that eliminated the seven-year repayment provision. That left only the "undue hardship" test in place, which is essentially impossible to meet (less than 1% of bankruptcy petitioners satisfy the undue hardship test). So, this means Buck McKeon effectively made discharge of student loans in bankruptcy impossible. Mr. McKeon is responsible for the current situation and suffering of student loan debtors.
Everyone who has student loans should write Mr. McKeon a letter, call him, or send him an email to express their displeasure with this legislation that has destroyed so many lives.
Mr. McKeon currently owns a lobbying firm in Alexandria, Virginia. The contact information is:
McKeon Group Corporate Office 675 N Washington St #340 Alexandria, VA 22314 Tel.: (571) 447-5000 Email: [email protected]
This is the relevant excerpt from the bill he passed: >Part G: Amendments to Other Statutes - Eliminates the dischargeability in bankruptcy of student loans made after the date of the enactment of this Act for the cost of attendance for a baccalaureate or advanced degree, and for which the first payment was due more than seven years before the commencement of the bankruptcy action. congress.gov/bill/105th-congress/house-bill/6

You're not wrong but if the banks weren't guaranteed their money they wouldn't give out loans to retards, therefore colleges wouldn't have faggoty worthless classes like gender and ethnic studies courses. At least a third of this social justice horseshit would disappear overnight

here come a bunch of salty 'real grownups' to defend rapacious usury and stagnant wages. you know, during all those pogroms against creditors, you know the hundreds and hundreds of them, i'm pretty sure the guy yelling libertarian talking points about personal responsibility typically got clubbed to death all the same like his moneyed masters.

This is weak bait but okay. The real problem here is the Federal government subsidizing tuition, and universities themselves being a major locus of Jewish control of the population, so everybody can "afford" to go, and everyone wants to go, and gets indoctrinated in Free Shit Marxism. Not a sustainable practice. We need to smash the system of Jewish debt slavery.
Tell me this then, when do the banks become big and evil, when you sit down and sign paperwork agreeing to borrow money and pay it back or after you realize you can't or don't want to? Debt is voluntary, take responsibility for your own actions, libcuck
Connor Murphy
Odd wording. Almost makes it sound like if your student debt was for non-tuition purposes, or for a AA/AS degree you could.
Chase Anderson
Why not use your energy to form a non-profit with the goal of preventing people from taking majors with no path to monetization?
>Can't because I drop out or get some stupid degree Every fucking degree is stupid today because of H1Bs and outsourcing.
Even doing medicine doesn't guarantee you a job as a doctor because there are so many medical students competing for internships.
Even programming which was the panacea for the end of true science and engineering jobs in the US is being sent offshore because the wages are now too high.
If we are all going to do garbage jobs or be trapped in positions with no wage growth, we should get our education for free like they get it in Europe.
Jeremiah Morris
People that stupid should go into more debt and have no way out and end up either killing themselves or a nearby politician. Best use of their miserable lives
>If we are all going to do garbage jobs or be trapped in positions with no wage growth, we should get our education for free like they get it in Europe. I agree completely, but that doesn't change the fact that people taking student loans are at fault for their own debt
Jaxson Perez
Oh and I forgot to add this Mormon piece of shit Buck McKeon went bankrupt himself in 1999, so lol at the fucking hypocrisy of this piece of shit.
Fuck this boomer and fuck all hypocritical jew-servant self-centered country-destroying boomer parasite fucks like him.
Lincoln Adams
Personal bankruptcy and corporate bankruptcy are two radically different things, but since this thread is a bait thread to attract the financially illiterate, I'm not surprised at you.
I defaulted on mine and I just got a letter that they were garnishing my wages. I didn’t even know that was legal thanks a lot obama
Gavin Murphy
It shows he ran a business that was failing to pay its debts and he got a bailout from creditors. Since he was running the business, there's no way to tell why the business was failing, but it was, or he wouldn't have been able to do 11 or 13. He's another greedy, irresponsible, arrogant jew servant boomer like you, fucking everybody else and pulling up the ladder. Fuck him and fuck you, jew bootlicker.
>end up either killing themselves or a nearby politician I'm with you all the way on that one.
For glowniggers: that's a joke.
A bachelors degree is what a GED used to be in today's market. Most employers won't even consider you for an office position without one.
It's easy to rag on people who do art history but they are by far the minority today. I know of at least 4 of my colleagues who went to a good state school for CS working still in the jobs they had during college because the market is oversaturated and without prior work experience no one will hire them.
Boomer-post all you want about how they were lazy or stupid but it's anything from the truth. Someone has to get the average grades and this is their fate. These guys didn't shotgun beers or chase whores instead of study, they just didn't get straight As and the internships that come with that.

dont take out 100k in loans for a ghetto weave masters you fucking nigger
Austin Walker
Ha. Nigger, I went to trade school and basically worked full time I still had to take out a loan to subsidize some of salary to make ends meet.
I payed it back quickly, within I think a year or two. I cant even imagine what someone who has to pay 9 grand or so a semester back would feel like. Sometimes people get cornered and feel like it's the only route, sometimes like me it was the only route to take out a loan. Life isnt the same for everyone.
Adam Kelly
I saw all of this bullshit marketing material when I started studying STEM myself.
These are self reported surveys and there is a selection bias because only the people who make it into the field reply to the survey. People who work STEM jobs make more than the average so of course the numbers look good.
James Sanders
The point is, most people shouldn't go to college, but they have been pushing for more women and minorities so liberal arts departments have dramatically expanded in size and reduced their selectivity. I can guarantee you college grad IQ has dropped steadily in the last 30+ years
Jaxson Morris
College tuition wasn't shit when boomers were in college. It was a token payment. When boomers took over they Jack up tuition then make it a burden to repay loans.
Joshua Jenkins
Really good point.
Gabriel Rodriguez
Just another case of bad incentives, they actually made the federal government subsidize tuition so of course it ballooned in cost to match the extra money coming in. College is just a huge scam on taxpayers and the marxist indoctrination is a side benefit
Justin Roberts
Tuition also went up because stem started to boom within the late 60 years or so. You know how expensive it is to keep those programs going?
The university my wife went too has a nuclear reactor, own three fully functioning structural, cranes, is unionized, and a hospital attached to it, plus all sorts of other stem field shit. Back in the day it wasnt like that.
Wyatt Brown
To wit, in 1975 it cost 800 bucks for a full coarse load at university of Michigan, today it will cost you 12,000 dollars.
Justin Fisher
See this: >A bachelors degree is what a GED used to be in today's market. Most employers won't even consider you for an office position without one.
It doesn't matter whether you want to go to college or not, you need to go and do something. That's why the IQ has been dropping and why our degrees are worth nothing similar to how a GED is worth nothing today.
>inb4 get a trade Either you can get in a union or you have connections or you are competing with illegals. There is nowhere to hide in America today, the entire situation is fucked and assholes like this cunt mentioned in the OP are a big part of the reason why.
Most people with an average IQ could take some shitty job in accounts receivable for 35k with their STEM degree as panjeet is doing their job for cents on the dollar in India if they didn't have some crushing debt stopping them from living their lives.
Adrian Ortiz
>working and middle class
It's not the "working class" or lower middle class taking out all these bullshit loans. It's niggers and faggot hipsters who think they will make 6 figures as a poet or an art teacher.
Sebastian Rodriguez
In a market economy businesses are supposed to take on risk and not all are expected to survive. Otherwise there is no competition. You are just making a fool of yourself with your economic illiteracy.

Because he tried to stop people from running away from debt they shouldn't have signed up for in the first place? No. I'm sure he's a globohomo tool for many other reasons but this is just silly. People just need to stop going to college they can't afford. Supply and demand is thrown completely out of whack by these ridiculous loans.
Jordan Cox
Violence or the threat of violence is the only thing that has accomplished anything, ever. There is no political solution to our situation.
You are literally talking to a lower-middle dude who was told from day one that if I did not get a college degree, I would be a failure in life. I didn't know any faggot hipsters and very few niggers at my smaller state school. Almost everyone was like me, white, middle class or lower.
When you back the student loan jew, you're backing a system of jew predatory banks and lobbyists who very deliberately fuck over the white middle class trying to destroy them by making it impossible to establish a normal life and family due to debt.

Then if they make bad decisions, they shouldn't get bankruptcy protection. If you want to pull out the moral hazard/personal responsibility argument, then Buck McKeon shouldn't have benefited from the bankruptcy system either as he is obviously an incompetent fuckbag who couldn't run a business. He should not get a pass on his incompetence using the bankruptcy laws, either. He's a hypocritical piece of shit jew servant like most boomers.
This is the absolute state of college students in the current year

i'd honestly rather see all of your ilk hang before any Jew
You aren't answering the question of what do you do instead of college?
One can't just get an internship in some company and move up the ranks anymore. Recruitment is only open at two points for people with no experience with a degree and in some role with an insane turnover due to all the shit Europeans dunk on us for.

lmao and what percentage of that do you figure is white middle class people. or even just white people. Chinks and Indians having population booms sure is a solid reason for me to consciously betray and undermine my fellow citizens. 'Hey fuck you bro, kill yourself, China had too many babies in the last hundred years anyway'. Also reminder that this person is probably convinced he is right-wing because he loves payday loans more than anybody.
William Fisher
I’ve been parroting that college was a scam since I was a punk kid in high school. I remember telling my guidance counselor in 2001 that college was a scam, she tried to convince me otherwise. She told oh it’s not that expensive community college is great, yadda yadda yadda and that it would be hard to find a job without a degree, I told her im smart enough to network and have a good enough personality to land a job without a stupid piece of paper. I was right, landed my first real job at a credit union IT department at 19. Making more money than friends. They’re at school all day, I’m at work. Earning. Get my own apartment at 21. Making decent money. I haven’t been in the corporate world in over 10 years though so perhaps it has changed. Working for someone else that is. I remember this was an issue even back in 2001, no debt forgiveness because they saw the writing on the wall,bunch of kids going into debt with a worthless degree, end up working at Starbucks. I knew this back then! How do people keep falling for it? Perhaps it has changed though, if anything I’d just lie about having a degree. You can’t lie about a doctorate though.
James Peterson

His actions guaranteed banks would issue more and bigger loans because bankruptcy became a sliver of 1% chance. He directly incentivized more bad behavior.
Wyatt Collins
Oh fuck, this nigger is something else. Buck writes a bill banning bankruptcy of busted bachelor's, when the fucker went to Brigham young university, which has tuition partially underwritten by Mormon tithes. So this Fuck was paying even less than his contemporaries at non cult universities. What a hypocrite.
Brody Anderson
The government doesn't have to back loans at all. That can stop tomorrow. But there is no reason not to return to the pre-1998 bankruptcy rules.
Tyler Stewart
I’m no kike, and I’m actually with you that college “education” and loans are predatory. Still, your understanding of market economy and capital ventures are severely lacking, and you’ll be the victim of that lack of understanding in the end.
Christopher Mitchell
Yep.
Julian Adams
You can't issue loans if people don't want them. Stop being retarded

Brigham Buck Writes Bill Banning Bankruptcy of Busted Bachelors
Adam Sanders
Sounds like another one of those free college faggots. Hey how about we just send in the government to audit the fuck out of the colleges to get their tuition prices back in line instead of just cementing known inefficiencies into the system? Fucking crony capitalist kikes.
Chase Foster
Pretty sure they were already incentivized to do that when the govt started subsidizing loans at all. Govt shouldn’t be involved at all and if they have to be then what Buck did is only sensible.
Sebastian Jackson
if you "need" a loan to go to college maybe you don't "need" to go until you can save up the money
Angel Morales
Then let’s stop backing loans with govt, then we go back to the old bankruptcy rules. Sounds good.
Jose Garcia
yes, they coupled the new bankruptcy regime with a massive push to tell every single kid growing up that you MUST go to college or you'll be a failure. it starts literally when you go to elementary school. this is not a coincidence. it is a massive propaganda push due to banks that pull the strings in government.
This was essentially a massive scam run by banks to rip off as many people as possible as fast as possible.
Elijah Jenkins
Buck McKeon did nothing wrong. Why should deadbeats be able to go to college on someone else's dime, then declare bankruptcy? You can't repossess an education. Millions of people would take out loans for college with no intention of ever paying them back, secure in the knowledge that they got a free degree at the cost of a hit to their credit score.
Kayden Ortiz
Huh. Govt uses it all the time. Wonder why violence was so important to them that they have a monopoly on it?
Julian White
I think the angle of attack should be the false advertising that most likely took place. If colleges sold their services as an “investment” guaranteed to pay off they could most likely be sued. Get a class action going.
Tyler Flores
Yes I hear these retards call in to the Dave Ramsey show every week with their $100k in debt and meme-tier degree. It's a dumb ass system for dumb ass people and just another part of the general jewish debt slavery system. crying about how college should be free or you should be able to duck the loans is not going to help
Mason Turner
So amazing how quick hasbara finds these threads and starts defending usury
Austin Hill
Then the solution is government needs to get the fuck out immediately, but for now, the economy is going to be crushed and go nowhere because you have an entire generation that cannot do basic things like get a house or a car. It is going to hurt everybody.
Unless, of course, you import massive swarms of new debtors in the form of illegals. ;)
See where this goes? Either drop your dumbass, cuckservative, kike bank dicksucking ways and give some relief of some type, such as reverting back to the pre-1998 bankruptcy laws, or everybody gets fucked. It is in your interest to do this minimal step re bankruptcy at least, if not debt cancellation.
Oh, also, if you don't offer some type of relief, socialist politicians do, and they'll get elected, and we'll have full socialism, so that's another result of your dumbass cuckservative jew loving reaganite stupidity.
I don't expect a low IQ cuckservative dumbass like you to be able to think through ALL the consequences of your idiotic ideological stubbornness and see where this is going, so don't bother responding.
Here's a lawsuit from the current year that you might be interested in.
Landon Cook
That's right. Corporations and banks can default on their loans and get free money from the gubbamint, but average losers can fuck right off!
Ayden Garcia
How much debt do you have, stupid bernie bro?
Cameron James
Instantly. Like flies on shit.
Joseph Murphy
It's not ducking the loans. It's restoring bankruptcy to pre-1998 when you had to pay loans for seven years AND qualify for bankruptcy.
Dominic Lewis
Nobody is defending usury here. The first thing I will tell you is that debt is dumb and you should never take out a loan in the first place.
Jaxon Roberts
Stop the government backing the loans first retard.
Jeremiah White
Did you even read what I wrote? How can you possibly extrapolate that I'm a Bernie bro when I am laying out Bernie Sanders's election as one possible consequence of cuckservative kike lovers failing to do anything about this and maintaining their stupid "pay urrr debts derrrrpp" position?
Bernie or Warren election will be a CONSEQUENCE just like the bankers importing more and more beaners as new consumers/debtors is a CONSEQUENCE of you cuckservative boomer jew dick slurpers failing to act on student loans.
>Mr. McKeon is responsible for the current situation and suffering of student loan debtors. Students themselves agree to the debt and sign promissory notes long before they accrue the debt. Here is another fun fact about government guaranteed student loans: The instant it becomes known that a student borrower enters bankruptcy, their student loans automatically default, and are bought by the government from the bank holding the debt. Basically if a student has shit finances, we will end up covering for the banks.
t: former title IV student loan rep/default collector.
