    Those 7 million .. do you reckon any of them would have been irresponsible enough to spend even a single dollar on:

    fast food
    alcohol
    tobacco
    entertainment (netflix, high speed internet, expensive phone plans, movies, sport, etc)
    clothing
    holidays
    gambling
    tattoos
    hair styling
    etc?

    Because if they did spend a single dollar on any of those items with a DEBT outstanding, you cannot imagine that anyone is going to take their 'poverty' seriously .. surely?

    It's not a stereotype.

    Those are the platforms that we see here every day coming from the left.

    Those are the platforms of liberals in hollywood, the media, and in government.

    Unfortunately, most of those areas are getting super-expensive and unaffordable these days. Millennials want to move to the cities but many of them cannot afford the rents there.

    Seems like a 2008 could happen all over again.

    Exactly 2008 all over again because the GOP killed many of the restrictions to borrowing the Democrats enacted after 2008.Many of the Dodd-Frank restrictions were watered down or reversed during the GOP reign of terror in 2017-18.

    Well then what the hell are they doing driving cars? And how many cable connections do they have? With all the channels? iPhones are expensive too.

    Well that's just not fair that some people can't afford stuff. And Warren Buffet pays less in taxes than his secretary!

    Good. Those people can barely tie their shoes without breaking into tears or foaming at the mouth... often at the same time. We certainly don't need them driving on public roads where they could have a panic attack because they were triggered by a Trump bumper sticker.

    Correlation is not causation. You'll want to provide some direct, verified statistics to back up your fallacious claim now.

    Excerpt: Emphasis added for clarity

    The New York Fed said a large part of the problem involves borrowers under 30 who have low credit scores. They are just the kind of people who may find it hard to buy a car and pay off student loans at the same time.

    Something tells me that few of the 7 million are using the -car- to drive to something called a -job-.

    Sounds like it would be a good idea to get into the repo business.

    72 month car loans are a manifestation of "instant gratitude".
    This is not a conservative trait.

    Good to see you recognize your original claim was crap; glad to see you found someone to help drag those goalposts from here to there and there...

    Wow. This is a level of ignorance found only in the deepest, darkest depths of hyper-partisan bigotry.
