America is trending Republican (or so this idiot thinks)

[DC Al Fine]

Yes, as we get older, we tend to get more conservative. However the problem for the GOP is that the Democratic lead among younger voters is so big that even a huge conversion to conservatism isn't going to alleviate the GOP's suffering. Pew Research has a good report on the "Generation Gap and the 2012" election which shows that as little as 12 years ago, younger voters (18-29) were actually more conservative than voters 65+. That has been turned completely on its head in recent years.

That's a combination of the left leaning New Dealers dying off and young people swinging towards Obama. The GOP can accept losing with younger demographics, but losing them so handily is unacceptable.

What else do you think of someone who defaults on a contract and blames you for it being faulty? i.e. giving you loans so you can work but not giving you a proper job and then comes to bleed your radish?

Nonsense. Student loans are contracts taken out to purchase an education. Whatever expectations the student has are irrelevant to the contract. If I play the ponies and my horse breaks a leg in the race, my bookie isn't an ass if he wants his money.

Lending out money that one has no intention of being paid back in order to simply gain a property interest in that person is not a simple gamble. It is predatory lending and people are not being greedy and/or dishonest in believing in such sentiment....or at least less so than the people they feel wronged by. 

Predatory lending my butt. College prices, major-salaries are all readily available.
