Outstanding student loans total about $33 billion, $7 billion of which is delinquent debt.

    Ms. Kamenetz:

    I feel sorry for the gentlemen described here. Sad situation. (I have diabetes myself, so I feel for him.) However, I do believe in paying off debts after you incur them. Otherwise, no long could get student loans, or car loans for that matter.

    Respectfully,
