Good! Don't pay kids, especially if there are no jobs in your chosen field. Your country is 40 Trillion in debt. I think they can write off this tiny amount.

Remember. If you owe the bank a few thousand it's your problem. If the bank has loaned out $234B it can't get back, that's the bank's problem.

No that's when they get bailed out because the bank failing would be terrible. no how dare anyone suggest if that happens the bank should become state owned if bailed out by the state
