LOL, Dobes. Actually, I like the taste of both black jelly beans and black gum drops; sweet and pungent. As for licorice, it has healing qualities, and if you're stranded in the desert and happen to have a stick of it on you, it will quench your thirst. |

I am not going there, chrishayden, or am I about to resume my verbal war with you. It suffices to say that I do not and never really have liked you. Hopefully the feeling is mutual and we can leave it at that. |

I love licorice. Black jelly beans are usually licorice flavored. I don't know of too many other black candies. |

Supreme Court Rules in Student Loan Case

(12-07) 09:12 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that the government can seize a person's Social Security benefits to pay old student loans.
Retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote the decision that went against a disabled man, James Lockhart, who had sued claiming he needed all of his $874 monthly check to pay for food and medication.
His government benefits had been cut by 15 percent to cover debts he incurred for college in the 1980s.
Lockhart also lost at the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said that Congress had eliminated a 10-year time limit on the government's right to seek repayment on defaulted student loans by seizing payments, including Social Security, to individuals.
The Bush administration had maintained that the case was important because outstanding student loans total about $33 billion, which includes about $7 billion in delinquent debt. Of the delinquent loans, about half are over 10 years old, government lawyers have said.
Justices were called on to clarify federal laws that sent conflicting messages about the collection of loans that are more than a decade old.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia said that Congress "unambiguously authorized, without exception, the collection of 10-year-old student loan debt ... in doing so, it flatly contracted and thereby effectively repealed part of the Social Security Act."
He complained that Congress in passing laws often wrongly claims that these acts cannot be changed in the future. Such an attempt "does no favor to the members of Congress, and to those who assist in drafting their legislation," Scalia wrote.
Groups like the AARP and the National Consumer Law Center had urged the court to safeguard Social Security benefits in the Lockhart case, arguing they "are critical in preserving a measure of financial independence for older and disabled workers."
Lockhart, 67, a former postal worker who now lives in public housing in Seattle, has heart disease, diabetes and other health problems. He has about $77,000 in student loan debt.
O'Connor's ruling, a brief 4 1/2 pages, will likely be one of her last. She is retiring after 24 years.
Also Wednesday, new Chief Justice John Roberts announced his first ruling, in a case involving legal fees. The 9-0 decision backed insurance companies, which argued that they should not have to pay legal fees of a New Mexico couple in a case that was shuffled from state court to federal court, then back to state court.
The student loan case is Lockhart v. U.S., 04-881, and the lawyer fees case is Martin v. Franklin Capital Corp., 04-1140.

renata
well, sometimes people are forced to prioritize what bills have to be paid and other situations rear their ugly head. i know alot of people who still owe alot of money and aren't taking their tax refunds to speed up the process to pay off this sort of debt or are going on trips to the bahamas instead of taking off a chunk of this debt, or worse deferring it so they can continue to add more school debt on. i personally did the army thing so i'm squared up with my college shiznit ... but i was just informing those who aren't and are still acting like tomarrow that debt wont still be there. |

Like you can do something about it, if it doesn't stand for "European Union". Typical of how you overrate yourself. Enough of wasting my time on a cipher. I will spell it out for you, chrishayden. EU stands for "exceptionally undesireable". Now get lost. |
