I recognize that I'm responsible for my debt.

But I also recognize that I'm responsible for putting food on my table, paying for a roof over our heads, paying for health insurance (that we should all get for being citizens of this country), paying, paying, paying.

This isn't about not being responsible. It's about the absurdity of garnering a ludicrous amount of debt in the pursuit of an education.

I applaud you for making your life work out right out of college. What makes you think anyone else could do the same thing? Why does your situation apply to me?
