I just reviewed a post I wrote November 25,2011 at that time the Student Loan Debt was $850 Billion and as we sadly know it is now well over $1 Trillion and continues to grow larger every day!
Our Presidents, both, Bush and now Obama talked about how they were going to take care of this out of control student loan debt. I am really trying hard to find something positive that either President did with the best interest of the our students in mind.If you know of a law that either passed that did not benefit the lobbyist first and the banks and student loan financial groups they represent please let me know.
The Congressional Budget Office in February estimated that the
Department of Education will make $35.5 billion in profit in 2013 from
student loan programs. But that number was just revised this month to $50.6 billion in profits—a 43 percent increase for the year.
I ask you with these kind of profits how long do you think it would take using my solution
I want to make sure I'm very clear on this!
I believe A True "Non-Profit" would not have $Million Dollar salaries or bonuses! A non-profit
that any profit left over will go back to the students principal on their loans . More studies would be
needed, but say a 2%-3% Fixed rate, no accrued interest while in school, and repayment of loan starts one year
after graduation( giving time to find the right job, get an apartment, etc...). Remember this is not a profit center, but the future of our Country
There are so many solutions available .....
This Crisis has been caused by the banks and other student lenders..and their lobbyist!!!!!!!!
Education should not be connected to any profit centers.
The education of our future leaders and our national security depend on a well educated society
The technology in computers today can service the student loans very inexpensively. I also have great faith that our older experienced and younger tech savvy generations will step forward and work together to make sure this project succeeds!
I need your help, We can't forget about our students that are in debt now.
Our President and Congress Bailed out 'The Too Big to Fail Banks"
Did you approve the Bail Out ?
Our President and our Congress can pass legislation to have the excessive fees removed from all of the current student loans.
These loans can then be put into the same non-profit 2%-3% fixed loan on their balance.
