The question is relevant. If people want to make policy arguments based on principles of accountability, then they need to be consistent.

Many of the arguments is about how you pay your debts when you agree to them. Trump did not.

are they kids??? or young adults???

kids (minors) cant enter into a contract.... young adults can


you CHOOSE to take a loan (student, home, car, small business).... YOU are obliged (obligated) to paying it back


should we just forgo all loans... yes people here you go..... free education, free housing, free food, free healthcare


you want a million education... get the free 'loan' that you don't have to pay back for daddy government
you want a million dollar house... get the free 'loan' that you don't have to pay back for daddy government



while we are at it why don't we go full blown communism... eliminate the need for money in all cases........

I didn't make the argument. It's either a legit argument or it is not. it's either wrong or it is not.
