The students money was a loan also......just like with the banks they are saying they shouldn't have to pay it back either......I just don't get it.....the banks are allowed to ignore their debt to society but some young lady going to college isn't.

Please, I want to understand. How does that make sense?

She's definitely NOT a ringing endorsement of the quality of education obtained for $45,530 per year (and that's only the cost of tuition and fees) at Northeastern University, Boston.

It's touchy situation because many of these things are interconnected. If AIG for example was allowed to fail it was all over, bring on the chaos.

Might be time to dust off that history book and read about the crash of 1929 and its aftermath.

It was argued that if GM was forced into bankruptcy, look out, business of all sorts would be going out of business.

GM did go through bankruptcy and that didn't happen. If a bank fails another will soon be there to pick up the slack.

So?

Couldn't care less. If businesses can't learn from history, they deserve to fail.
