Then, of course, society is blamed for providing loans, and for (I think) allowing personal status to exist at all ...

Miller is the arts editor for The New York Times Style Magazine.". Anybody who thinks this person can be helped is kidding themselves. This person can't be helped. Not with law changes, not with refinancing, not with financial education, not even with money.
