American college students have run up a mere 1.2 trillion dollars in loan debts!
So what? Just a mere drop in the bucket in liberals' efforts to create a state of dependency upon government. And, they want Obama to bail those poor students out. Why should they assume responsibility for themselves now?

"Students are already struggling with crushing amounts of loan debt," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a press release. "Student borrowers deserve better than illegal practices as they work to pay back their loans." This week's report applies to loan servicers, companies responsible for collecting and helping graduates to structure their payments. The CFPB flagged six major issues in the industry, including:
Structuring payments to maximize penalties.
Many servicers handle multiple loans per person and consolidate them all into one account. Typically they bill just for that one lump sum every month and allocate the payment accordingly. That much is fine. However many servicers have been taking unfair advantage of this situation. When borrowers pay less than the full monthly amount, these companies have been distributing the money proportionately across each loan, resulting in all of the loans in a borrower's account becoming delinquent. The servicer then charges a late fee for every loan in the account, maximize penalties while harming the borrower's credit.
Charging illegal late penalties during grace periods.
Most student loans come with a grace period, typically about six months after graduation. Borrowers can make payments during this time but don't have to. The CFPB discovered that some servicers have been charging late penalties to people making payments during their grace period but after the loan's standard due date. There are, of course, no late penalties for graduates making payments during their grace period regardless of when.
Lying about minimum payments.
Why should we give the 1% low interest loans, but students must pay 10% for a loan??
Why are every other kind of debts dischargeable in a bankruptcy except student loans?
I realize the whole reason for the change was because people would get through med school or law school, file BK, and then get off, but it makes no sense to soak someone with 60 grand in debt and let them get a degree that won't get them a job making more than 30k a year and not let them be able to discharge it if they simply can't pay the bills.
Banks got a HUGE Bailout, why not Bailout the Students?
You know what an Economic "shot in the arm" that would be?
That's probably why it won't happen.
It should be easier for someone to go to school. Why should it be difficult based on the almighty buck?
No way for a worker to stick it to their employer. And then they are told they should be thankful for the job. Pathetic.

I wonder how much went to tuition and books, and how much to partying?American college students have run up a mere 1.2 trillion dollars in loan debts!

Amen.It should be easier for someone to go to school. Why should it be difficult based on the almighty buck?
There are a great, great many options for someone who truly desires a higher education to pursue one.
There are even loan forgiveness programs for people who teach, and I think some for those that go into nursing.Student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy because MEDICAL students and LAW students were gaming the system. They were taking out huge (relatively) loans to finance their professional school education, then as soon as they got established in their careers they filed bankruptcy and got the loans discharged. Congress and the lenders got pissed off and FIXED THAT PROBLEM!
Loan forgiveness is a form of THEFT!
Consider: Borrower needs money that she does not have. She goes into a bank (or wherever) and asks for the money. She has no ability to pay right now, but PROMISES the bank that she will repay the loan as soon as she is able. The bank GIVES HER THE MONEY.
She has acquired this money from a group of strangers, based on a solemn, written promise to repay. She didn't get it from her family, her loved ones, her friends or her employer. She got it from a business who trusted her.
Now what was that argument for discharging the loan again?
She doesn't want to pay it? It's a hardship?
Bullfuckingloney.
What if, when she applied for the loan, she told the lender that if it became a hardship she wouldn't pay it back?
Do you think she would have got the money?
WOULD YOU HAVE LOANED HER THE MONEY?
Not your money, so you don't give a fuck, right?
I disagree.Going into the military is only acceptable for those that want to serve. It should not be forced upon those college bound. The number in my town going into the military is a tiny minute percentage of what it used to be. Out of an average of 200 graduates we have about 1 or at most 2 per year enlisting. Community college is a good option however.
Ever hear of TARP? It was theft by the rich....Student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy because MEDICAL students and LAW students were gaming the system.

This country has gotten so far away from Kennedy's "ask not" speech, that I am in favour of mandatory service in the military or in labor corps, just to instil some civic pride in what is becoming a nation of spoiled ass ingrate illiterates.
