I thought debtors’ prisons were a thing of the past.
Helen Keller could have seen this one coming.
Selling yourself into servitude.
Why not the military? (please respond with Capt. Obvious answer)
The Peace Corps is a waste of money that has had an overall negative effect on the world. It should be abolished.
Now who didn't see THIS coming when Barry took over the student loan program.
Keep those bright 20-somethings on their parents’ insurance
Send them to the inner cities to teach and give out AIDS tests and free condoms, and to the fields to pick grapes - organize organize organize those communities
Chairman Mao made it work!
But unlike Mao, keep their parents working at those evil immoral high paying capitalists jobs in banking health care and business
Because someone has to donate to the DNC and someone has to pay taxes.
But don't get me wrong,
Personally, I think every altruistic 20-30 yr old unemployed liberal should be drafted to teach for 3 years in an inner city or low income community middle or high school, just to get real familiar with the culture they'll be supporting.
Michelle Obama ran around Ohio saying this early on in the campaign. Why was no one taking her seriously?
ten years of brainwashing ought to do it...no problem.
I have student loans, I went back to school after I retired from the USN. Do you think they will take a 56 year old white guy that spent 27 years in the blue water navy?
If you’re paying list price or more for education, you’re doing it wrong. That’s what my wife & I learned over the course of 5 degrees. Work hard, shop around, be flexible ... there are a lot of people (the schools included) who want to give you money for school.
If you want an _education_, all MIT courses are available online for FREE: http://ocw.mit.edu ... and other schools are doing the same. It’s the piece of paper at the end that costs you.
>> Burdened under a mountain of student debt? CNN has the answer - dedicate ten or so of your prime years to social work. Better yet, join the AmeriCorps.
Ten years? Good grief. How much debt are we talking about here? I am an attorney and have better than six-figures of student loan debt ... and even then, that’s only $10K to $15K a year of benefit. That’s hardly an extraordinarily difficult figure to make in the private sector. You can make $12K a year delivering pizzas.

Now that the Fedgov has taken over 100% of student loans, they can "forgive" repayment of the loans to "good comrades" who work on projects approved by the Fedgoons.
10 years? The service academies only take 6.
Just like in China and Russia - Party / Government Cadres go to school for free, get their ideological training, and join the service of the state agains the people afterwards.
My Fish Club went to plant trees by a river with the Forest Service.
Our club and another club were all (40) there at 8:00 A.M. sharp.
The eco-wackos (4) showed up at 8:45 well into the introduction / training.
The Juvenile Delinquent work crew (8) showed up at 9:15 as we were headed to the river.
We planted a few thousand trees.
The Americorps chicks (2) showed up at 12:30, after all the trees were planted and the free lunch provided by the fishermen’s wives was being served.
Way to go, Americorp!
Suck young people into burying themselves in student loans for worthless degrees, then enslave them for the rest of their lives.
