What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and breaking news is everywhere discussing that student loans have been forgiven and everyone who has outstanding loans will no longer have to pay them back? How would the rest of your day go?
It is funny that this is only a dream for many and tomorrow when you wake up, many of you will still be wondering how the hell you are going to pay that student loan bill due next month and the months after that. Was college really worth all the money it cost you? Do you really believe you were completely fulfilled and have the dream job you always wanted? Some of you are smiling because you have that and the others of you are leaning back in your chairs probably saying: If I knew this was gonna be like this I would have never went to college. Than there is the other known people who are smiling, not because they are not in debt, but are, and feel that at least they did get through college. They have hope that one day, that dream job will come and finally it will be their turn.
Well folks, you all have that one thing in common that you never realized.
Scenario: Someone knocks on your door early in the morning with a briefcase and some papers to sign that states on them that if you sign these papers you will be debt free of any debt you owe. I bet you think it is a joke, however, the man or woman giggle and say, "I am serious." You stop, lean your head back and say, "Are you serious?" and they hand you the pen as well as copies of the agreement proposed for signing. What would you do?
I do not care who you are, if you have any chance to not pay for something, you will definitely embrace that moment.
Student loan bailout may not be or may be good for this economy, but how will it affect future students? Will they be excited to go to college knowing that if there is a struggle in the end someone will be there to wipe their stress away? How many more students will enroll into college? Have you counted those numbers? Or better yet, let's think like the opposer: Why even waste time on a bailout that is never going to happen? Isn't this the dumbest thing you ever heard?
