we all are living to see this take place . the more you look then more you see .

If my family had health insurance, we would be paying and extra $130 per month. Instead, I am pocketing the $330 amount that we would have paid for (our part of) insurance, in case of an emergency.

People paying ObamaNoCare insurance rates will further be shocked by how little it actually covers... and get hit with more costs. Expendable income is already expended.... by Oboingo.

hell 130 cheap ................

12 Total US student loan debt through 2013, stood at a whopping $1.049 billion, an increase of 11.1% in just one year.

Isn't that supposed to be... 1.049 trillion?

I think they are hoping no one notices...

There was never a real "middle class" only some poor class with big debts.

I feel sorry for the young folks who aren't being taught about reality by the schools and their parents.

Instead they are taught a Jew-infused Delusion, replete with Holohoax, Scary Muslims doing 9-11, etc.

I remember a young woman at the junior college I took some animation & programming classes at. She had
gotten an animation degree at Full Sail, one of those private Expen$ive universities that tells young hopefuls, "we'll help you get a job in animation !"

I was talking to an instructor about Displacement maps, a way of modelling objects that is bandwidth friendly and is generally a lot of fun.

She knew her stuff, but she was competing for the few jobs in Silicon Valley with far more experienced people who had recently been laid off by the various studios.

And she had ALL THAT DEBT.


an honest high-school or college counselor would tell young hopeful's, "we are in an economic contraction that is comparable to the Great Depression. taking on debt in this climate must be done VERY carefully."

but the counselors are on commission, either directly or indirectly.

anyway, it's not that hard to find young people saddled with impossible debts.

It makes it look bigger to people who have been desensitized to trillions in debt. So 1,000 Billion is HUGE!!! lol

I was one of those dumb idiots. I did culinary school and then did a college in the UC system in California for business/computers. Both worthless degrees and it put me into $60,000 debt. Thankfully I FINALLY learned the error in my ways and paid off all my debts just this past year. It's all possible since I took charge in my life and started my own business. I try to tell my younger cousins about how its a scam and their parents get so pissed. Those aunts of the cousins I told no longer talk to me at all and think I'm Evil for spreading such "lies". There's really little hope when people are just so brainwashed.

My sister and none of my cousins who have gone to college have never used their degrees. They all are working jobs they could have gotten without degrees. No one learns. It's amazing how easy it is to control people.

It's pretty fucking clear what's going on when bankruptcy won't discharge student loan debt.

I was fortunate enough to have a good enough head on my shoulders when I was younger to see college for what it was... A con, I went for a little while on my G.I. Bill. But they don't tell you it only covers a portion of your college tuition. The rest is up to you. So after my G.I. Bill ran out, I just quit going to college and haven't went back since. I've thought about going back just to get the piece of paper, but in my career field, it's really not a requirement unless you're going into management.. Which I have no desire to do.

My degree was business/computers as well, except I was able to pay it pumping gas and delivering pizzas. I lived at home at the time. The tuition was less than $700 a quarter for one of the top rated business schools in the nation. When I graduated, I was fortunate to have no debt to pay off. Now, I'm working in an industry where a degree is worthless. I don't regret the degree, because looking back it was so inexpensive to achieve, just hard work.

Amazing how the debt system took hold of higher education. If I had kids I recommend learning a trade. A skilled trade.

hell 130 cheap ................

I was paying $196 per month. My company paid the rest. This year my cost would be $330. My deductible went up a couple thousand. Drugs and co-pays went up.

I see this insurance thing as bleeding the disposable income out of every household that is earning any money. Think about how much money you have left after you pay all your bills. Now factor in another bill for $130. That is alot cheap crap from WalMart that will have to sit on their shelf.

Interesting that it's only been since 2005 (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9803213) that you cannot discharge student loan debt. Sounds like someone seen the train coming and planned accordingly.

I learned late in life the art of making and saving money.....and just in time because now days I would be unable to do what with all the spy system that we now have................"The Richest Man In Babylon" was my teacher and "EST" was my father.......and that's why now days I joke about everything and have a different outlook about life......why?.....we are born, we are and then we die..... everything else is what you make of it.
