All of those people seem to have a lot of crap around. They're still buying magazine, CDs, whatever other garbage they're surrounded with. Or they have nothing but bare floor and a brand new looking couch! I'm guessing that student loans are not the only problem for some of these folk. And almost all of them have made it into some sort of political situation. Won't they still owe money regardless of who's in power??
I feel for the guy with Parkinsons. Not so much for the others.
