Student Loans Are Forever

Here is yet ANOTHER article to read and weep over! The shit never stops! These are YOUR children that this is happening to and where are YOUR children? Sitting at home with you because they can’t make it on a cashier’s salary from TJ Max. They can’t make it on a Micky D’s fry cook salary and 20 hours a week. They went to college for that?
