Zip-lining through the start of WW3 with a smile.
This timeline. :wtf:
Probably hard the hear over the sound of the zipline, and the last thing he'd expect to be happening below him, is happening.

If Scott Bessent had no qualms about destroying the pound sterling, what do you think he'd do to china?

The government has allowed far too many corporate mergers. There isn't enough competition because a small handful of mega corporations control every single industry.

Something is way fricking wrong here.
I've been a staunch capitalist my entire life. Having a free private sector full of competition to drive innovation up and costs down...
So then, why is everything more expensive across the board?
Why are Iphones $1000 instead of $100?
Why have the cost of important drugs like insulin increased in price by 100% since 2012?
Why is baby formula $50 instead of $5?
Why is a ford 150 $50,000?
Competition and innovation aren't driving down costs. No one else willing to raise an eyebrow to this?

Admittedly, I haven't kept up with bankruptcy law, but it used to be that Federal obligations used to be nondischargeable.
When I google "Federal Obligations" it is referring to the obligation of the federal government to pay its debts to you. Like Social Security benefits, or paying you back for bonds.

Your point is taken, but just because no one notices that a debt is no longer discharged, still means it gets added to the country's debt when not repaid. That's sweeping it under the rug like it never happened.
I think I'm failing to understand why you place a fundamental "difference in kind" between student loan debt and all other debt to the federal government?
Your tax debt to the IRS is dischargeable through bankruptcy, FHA loans dischargeable through bankruptcy, SBA loans dischargeable through bankruptcy, FEMA loans dischargeable through bankruptcy.
Why are student loans in a category with child support?
Either you're conflating bankruptcy with student loan forgiveness, or you just don't like college students bc you think they're all liberal blue hairs?

Why should it be discharged?
Discharged through bankruptcy if the debtor so chooses... like any other conceivable debt in this country. Even Tax debt.
They were dischargable until 2005. Was your life as a taxpayer before 2005 worse because of it? Odds are, you didnt even notice.

And let the debtors off the hook?
Bankruptcy is off the hook?
Name any other debt besides child support where you cannot discharge it.
The tax payer is on the hook for all government loans, are they not? Yet those are dischargeable.

Just make them dischargeable.

Right, that’s the real kernel of the post.
Lot’s of negative nancys in this thread though.
If I removed any reference to Hoppus or Blink182, they’d be saying “wow that’s amazing”:lol:
