Oh my.

It's one of those primitives who poses a question, and then demands "discuss," as if a schoolteacher or something.

4. Actually, if you're in a position to consolidate- it's just about time

As of July 1st, people can lock in interest rates so low that it almost pays to have borrowed money.

7. Because the whole system's a racket

Higher ed > corporatized universities > shackling graduates to long term debt (that the signed up for at age 17 or 18) to make them willing wage slaves (for the next 30-40 years)

It's illegitimate. It should be destroyed.

9. Then maybe you shouldn't have taken the loan in the first place.

Or maybe "Protested" by not taking the money.

8. Does everyone know that there used to be a 6 year limit on student loans . ..???

now infinite . . . ???

How long you been paying?

for us . . . probably 16 years or more . . . finished now

kids . . . even longer

Call your Senators, Call Obama --

We need free college/university educations --

education is important to society --- let's act like it!!

And, let's also make sure that not only elites get that important "piece of paper"!!!

10. I would at least like mine rolled back to its original amount. That would help a lot.

11. So

budgets are tight, funding for education is being cut, tuition is being raised all over... and the best answer for that is to not pay back the money, already borrowed by students to fund their education.

Yea, ok. Lemme know how that works out.

12. Oh thats the responsible thing to do.

Take the loan knowing what the terms are and then just decide "I dont want to pay it back".

It would be nice if just once something they wanted didn`t have to require "worthless" or "useless" in describing them.

It would be a surprise and not likely but it would be nice.

I'm guessing that double-major in Womyn's Studies and Underwater Basket Weaving isn't working out too well for you.
