Just Nuts - Using Student Loans to Pay Off Court Costs

Argh!  Our government really needs to wake up.  I was fortunate that I didn't have to take out any student loans when I went to college in the 1980's, but this is a 'come on, man!' moment.  Defendant asking for more time to pay his court costs; his student loan comes in next Friday.  If only the government knew (or cared) that some students consider court fines as 'living expenses' when they attend college.

I don't think if you've been adjudicated guilty for any felony that you should qualify for a government student loan.  That money is never going to be paid back.  Your tax dollars at work.  Geez!
