Comment on Woman takes 70k federal student loans in 2008, pays total of 60k, still owes 70kparent

I'm okay with allowing them to take out the loan, let's just not pretend it's actually done through fully informed adult consent. And if we're willing to do that, perhaps we'll decide to allow student loans to be discharged at bankruptcy, which they currently aren't.

I feel like the bankruptcy option would simply lead to the logical choice of declaring bankruptcy after college...and the collapse of any loan system.
