I wish a had a magic wand!!!!!!!!!! Dreams can come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!If I only had one Wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems that no one truly cares.At least some days that's the way I feel.
I do know there are people that are really trying to correct this giant mess! The problem is there are so few.
A program that makes sense, has value,can make a difference,that can help those that can't help themselves,
can bring the profits back to America,can bring better paying jobs back to middle America,little or no waste of tax dollars,Checks and Balances,Quarterly reviews
A Program that is Based on Success !
A program like this does not have a chance. You ask why
Just "one" Congressmen it takes $millions and $millions of dollars to get elected! All our Congressmen in the $Billions!
A Presidential election that the cost is in the $Billions and reports show it could more than double the next election!
535 congressman verses in 2013 8,823 lobbyist spending so far $.080 Billion in 2013 and $3.30 Billion 2012! (OpenSecrets.org)
And we wonder why we are in such a mess!
Even the best Politician can't escape from the down right corruption in Washington!
What I ask of each of you "Keep Believing" this mess can be fixed,but we have to hold the people we elect accountable!
If I did not do my job. I would expect to be fired!
I have a owner along with his sons who works as hard as their employees, and it is an honor and pleasure to go to work everyday, because I know we are working together to achieve success!
I do want to make sure I'm right the President and Congress do work for us?
The way I feel about my job!
Our President and our Congressmen should this not be the greatest honor in the world to be able to work for the American people everyday????
Our children deserve better than this!

Some how we have to fix this endless cycle ... It's evident that money talks when it comes to politics ... How can we break this cycle of $$ deciding who takes a seat in office ?! We need to get back to the basics ... If we could only get back to a place where people who have the best interest of " the people " were nominated ... We could eliminate all the lobbyist activities taking place ... How did we allow it to get to this point ? ... Sad ...
ReplyDeleteI am just another example of indebted college graduated (May 2012), I got a little more than 54,000 in debt. I am currently making 33k/year. My interest rate on both of my 7.5k loans (Ubsubsidized) are not bad at all they are 6.8%. Though the real issue is the 9.75 interest rate my $20,000 private loan carries (2008 disbursement). Something needs to be done about the future for these people.
ReplyDeleteIs your 9.75 interest rate on a 20 year loan? The reason I ask because my daughter has.a 20 year loan The loan looks like my first mortgage where your paying more interest than principle the first 10 years of the loan! The system is broke from top to bottom. College should not be a profit center for our banks, the colleges, and even our government. There are going to have to be new models created to pay college. My Project Tuition Reimbursement is just a start. Our Politicians are going to have to start giving the tax credits where they can do the most good! Not to our Too Big to Fail where after all the tax credits and loopholes they are paying little or no taxes? Then on top of that they are sending their huge profits offshore and sending more and more jobs to Mexico, China, Vietnam etc..........
ReplyDeleteI wish you only the best and I will continue to work on solutions. Please don't be a stranger tell your friends and remember we need every idea available.
Just to give you the hope that I have found. There are only 535 and 1 we have to keep reminding them daily that they work for us.They do not work for the corporations and lobbyist.
If not we will find those that will!
Well Anthony, I appreciate all your effort to this fix this system, most of the people that it is affected are too uninformed to speak up for themselves or just don't care, they are young and would let their loans default before they I have seen it, my generation really doesn't care about anything... We will let our elected officials do anything they want with us and whisper about it maybe after the fact.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if my loan is designed for a 20 year pay off or not. Sallie Mae probably is doing that if that's the typical industry standard. I am making all the payments I can to try to lower the interest that accumulates a month
All I know is the way the interest is set up w/o the ability to go down, it is an outrage. They are taking advantage of vulnerable consumers. I do not have an interest rate below 6.75% on any of my 4 loans, I am 23 years old. I think it is b/c I received my loans at the height of the interest boom/financial market's success in 2008, before the crash..
One last thing, something needs to be done. We need a unified group who can protect the interests of our student loans. None of us can afford to pay a lobbying group like massive corporations can that are holding our loans. So they will keep controlling us by hiring us possibly and keeping us indebted to them. (Clearly I have no problem with paying back reasonable interest payments on my borrowed money, but roughly a half of my monthly payment goes to pay off that months accumulated interest?)
