I was not aware the outstanding student debt was that high. Craziness.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to bag on another American trend as of late, and that is the mentality that you don't necessarily have to pay back your debt. I just hate that reality. Bankruptcy should be the very last safety net, like when a person is destroyed by medical bills. The fact that it is a strategy for some (apparently lots) of people pisses me off.
