How the Student Loan Crisis Will Show Up in the Economy - WSJ

I see two key mistakes in this fiasco:

  1. Allowing students to go into debt for majors without good economic prospects.

  2. Allowing a pause in repayments in the first place.

I oppose any further forbearance or any discharge of student loan debt. The least educated should not fund the student loan mistakes of the most educated.

I would recommend immediate 10% garnishment of wages and assets, of retirement accounts and of government benefits of those in debt until the full debt is paid off.

For new student loan borrowers, I would only allow debt for college majors with good economic prospects. Also for new borrowers, I would establish a strict policy that the person would not be eligible for SNAP, Unemployment benefits, Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid until the full debt is paid off. Also only US citizens would be eligible for student loans.

Justice David Souter Was the Antithesis of the Present | The New Yorker

A creature of reliable routine, Justice Souter got to work in the morning, and soon came into the room where the clerks sat—and where the drip-coffee machine lived. Its placement there must have been a deliberate way to build in a daily schmooze. We looked forward to it immensely. He invariably had an amazing story to tell, in extraordinarily curated detail, down to exact quotations of exchanges and quips. The conversation always came to a perfect dénouement with a profound but witty line that would be vibrating in the air as he turned elegantly on his heels and left.
