Notice how Jason has $150,000 worth of student debt and 2 kids?  

Dude, how do you rack up 150K in student debt?  That's like five years tuition and board at Harvard.

"Harvard University will increase tuition next school year by 3.8 percent, the school announced yesterday, bringing the annual cost of a Harvard education, including room and board, to $50,724."

They also pay tuition in full for like 95% of their students, so not someone going to Harvard.  Presumably the aforementioned individual went to some expensive-ass liberal arts bullsh**t place then graduate school, plus had a bunch of interest piled on.

Basically, that was my first thought.  Education is expensive, no doubt.  We have to pay all those administrators huge salaries, after all.  But on average it isn't that expensive.  His debt is the result of some poor decisions that he made.  

Ah, well, the bump in the road thing is cute.  But it lends itself more to short attack ads and speeches, not a repetitive, droning 60-second commercial.
