I would imagine that an employer would be understanding of student loan debt, along with medical debt this would not necessarily make someone a LOSER!!!!! I think employers would be more concerned with whether you worked any job while career searching or sat on your lazy butt waiting for the right job to come along!!! Kids who have done non paid INTERNSHIPS would stand a better chance in an employers eyes!!!!!!

“When Obama first came into office, the average tuition for a four year in state college was $6,591. Today, it is $9139, a 38 percent increase.”

That’s because colleges are run by thieving, lying liberals. It’s also the reason why health care costs rise by double digits every year; hospitals are run by thieving,lying liberals.

Big Education is a money laundering mechanism for the Democrat party.
Unfortunately only folks on FR realize this.

Between defaults and remissions, a huge percentage of student loans are gonna be dumped on the taxpayer.

“Big Education is a money laundering mechanism for the Democrat party.”

Well said.

“Between defaults and remissions, a huge percentage of student loans are gonna be dumped on the taxpayer.”

Not sure how that works. Please explain.

Obama has already implemented a rule where if a person works for government or a “non-profit” for 10 years, your loans are forgiven.

Hillary or Fauxcahontas will likely take this much farther in 2017.

I'm trying to imagine comrade obama working a full or part time job while attending Junior College, paying his tuition while saving money to transfer to a four year institution upon earning his associates degree.

I cannot do it. It's unimaginable.

That’s right, and the Racket has been going on since the 1980s and before.
