Bargain Basement

I'm not entirely sure why Citigroup gets to bargain with senators[.]

Dear Atrios,

Really? You're not?

Right...does anyone here pay their student loans? You know all they can do is garnish your wages at 15%, and at my income level that's less than the minimum payment anyway....

I sometimes wonder why Atriots are so willfully ignorant.

Any thoughts?

Or is it self-explanatory?

Yeah, me, actually. Had something to do with repaying obligations that I took on of my own volition. I'm told it's related to functioning like a responsible adult. Or maybe somebody put a gun to yoru head and forced you to sign those promissary notes?

The Senate! (spits) I read today that they're considering a bill to help businesses "de-leverage" by forgiving the tax due when you stiff your creditors. It turns out that now, if you don't pay back all of a loan the balance is counted as income and taxed, so they want to change it so you can keep what you stole tax-free. Is this a great country or what? Hey, sglover, lend me a couple of mill, I'm an ... adult.
