A bunch of stuff has been enacted recently to make the situation better. Such as-10 year repayment if you work in the public sector, no more sally may predatory loans!, income contingent payment plans, etc.

Yes, but that 10 year repayment only applies to dept. of education loans (or ones that it has allowed you to consolidate). So for those who have to take out private loans, you're still screwed. |

In regards to #2, I think that's basically an impossible situation to fix. #1, I think that just illustrates his weakness when it comes to business and financial matters (i.e. he's in over his head). #3, uggh.. What annoys me about that one is he campaigned AGAINST that extension. Well I guess he campaigned for closing gitmo too, but I figured that wasn't likely to happen. |
Face it. His governance has been a refutation of his campaign rhetoric.

Indeed but at least some, if not most, of peoples loans are govt. People who needed to take out private loans were screwed from jump street. |
