Like you, I have hard time empathizing with people that put themselves in debt "knowingly". It is hard to not think they are just stupid. The issue is, I was lucky to have the opportunity to be educated about these risks early enough. I have hard time blaming people of not knowing something that was never alluded to when they were growing up (e.g. credit is not free money). Otherwise I agree with you, this is a ridiculous solution to an otherwise real problem.
- nightski 7y agoMaybe Bernie should fix the fact that our education system does not even include financial literacy courses instead of just mass forgiving debt. EDIT: Apparently down voters on HN are against financial education in our public schools.
- krastanov 7y agoThe etiquette is to not discuss votes on your comments. For what is worth, I suspect people dislike the snideness and lack of effort in the comment, not the notion of financial education.
