    All I know is that if IDR is killed off, I’ll have to go into bankruptcy as i don’t have enough for groceries for my family as is. I know the likelihood of getting the stident debt is next to impossible, but i might be able to afford that payment if my cc debt is killed off ($40k) but would still have mortgage, car payment, roof loan payment, and my private student loans as well. I’m just pretty much tapped out. Probably worth more dead than alive, though I’m the bread winner.

      There will be a lot of bankruptcies and I can’t see how that benefits the corporations that are expecting loan repayments. It seems like they lose either way, so maybe we should have let them lose without fucking over so many other people.

        I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy
