It is a no win situation as far as loans go for college unless the people stand up and take responsibility for their own debt and make smart choices. No one told these people to go out an get a loan. If they feel it is necessary to go to college ..then work for it. Pay as you go..or get better grades , an internship or save for it while you are living at home. I have a son who right now holds down a job and goes to college. He pays for his classes as he is going and has no student loans and I do not pay for his college. The choice is his and his alone. I help him out by having him stay at home and contribute by working around the house and picking up Milk and items he can afford to help out with. I do agree that no one should bail out the banks..that is part of the risk of handing out money for people to use. [/quote] A loan is by its very nature a risk. In the 90's, banks told colleges "Charge whatever you want, we'll loan it." College raised their rates 200-500%, and the banks kept their end of the bargain and began loaning the inflated amounts. But the banks had a card they knew they could play when the bubble burst. They knew they had enough pull in the government, that would permit the banks to loan the government money to pay for their own bail out! Do you understand the significance of this? This was a SCAM. [/quote] Ohh like forgiving all loans ? How about I go out an buy a Bentley and ask for a loan forgiveness? Isn't that a SCAM? It is the same thing..no one told these people to take out the loans [/quote] The banks have money, which they CHOSE to OFFER to someone. They offered people they KNEW couldn't pay it, because they knew people like YOU would be forced to foot the bill. Because of that, we've spent upwards of 20 Trillion (Tarp, bail out, etc) borrowing money from banks, to hand right back to the same banks that loaned it to both the original borrower and the government. Then, the banks charge YOU and ME to pay for the original loan of the student AND the loan they gave the government to give right back to themselves to "bail them out." Are you following me? [/quote] That is correct..they choose to offer. However these people Choose to take it. I choose to offer my goods for sale and own my business to make money.. That does not mean that I twist anyone's arms to buy my goods. People need to own up to their own bad choices ..if you eat too much you get fat..don't blame the restaurant because you CHOOSE to eat too much. [/quote] Listen to me carefully. The bums who took money they couldn't pay back are not passing legislation to make you pay for their loan. The banks, who lobby, ARE. The BANK is making you do it. This was a scam from the get-go. I can't make this any more simple. The banks PURPOSELY made bad loans, so that the government (IE. YOU) would borrow the money from them to give back to them in the form of a bail out. [/quote]
Original Message
President Obama used executive order today to push forward student loan reform that would reduce monthly payments for 1.6 million borrowers next year, accelerating the previous 2014 startup timetable.
The new “Pay As You Earn” proposal for college students lowers their monthly loan payments to 10 percent of their discretionary income. The plan
also forgives the balance of their debt after 20 years of payments
.

So if some idiot goes to college and majors in a field that has zero chance of gainful employment, WE have to pay for their bad choices? Unfriggin believable.
