Yes, lets not let 18 – 22 year old young adults make young adult decisions. Let’s protect them from their own bad decisions. Heck, let’s forgive other bad decisions and poor choices by young people as well. That’ll solve all of this nation’s problems. Maybe we can start imparting the virtues of personal responsibility, and self control after college – yeah that makes sense. From Toledo Blade:
Democratic attorney general candidate Richard Cordray yesterday said he would use his office to crack down on aggressive marketing of credit cards to Ohio college students.
“They sign up for credit cards,” said the current Ohio treasurer. “They end up building credit-card debt. For many of them, it imperils their ability to complete their college education because they’re battling the accumulation of student-loan debt and also credit-card debt. The attorney general can play a central role in this.”
Ohio Treasurer Cordray, standing on The Oval on the campus of Ohio State University, said he backs pending legislation to prohibit on-campus marketing and to prohibit alumni associations and other groups from selling student information to such marketers.
