Whats your opinion on mortgage relief for people struggling with too much debt?

Credit card companies can be predatory targeting the people least likely to understand what they are doing, what is your opinion of credit card company debt relief?

Where does your line stop?

In all of these cases, we are transferring debt from someone who willingly took it on, to the public - and this debt will be paid at least partially by people who are low income immigrants, people slightly above the poverty line, and construction workers.

Lets at least be honest: "I like this but it means janitors / construction workers / hard working immigrants pay for the college of people who didnt."

You are focusing on "BUT NOT THE MAJORITY"...

Employers don’t require a mortgage or a credit card for you to get a job that pays wages above the poverty line. They do require a degree with no economic exposure to that requirement.

Only if they have a federal income tax burden. That’s honesty, not the moral hazard you’re attempting to invoke.
