    Yea buddy, Obamanomics is working isn't it?

    SSSSSSHHHHHHH! Don't tell a poster that is convinced he'll graduate and start at $60K+ a year, moving to San Francisco. However, the numbers in the Obamanomics economy says he's looking at $27K to start and maybe working as a security guard. It sure looks like those with 4 year degree's are about to become the new working poor with big fat student loans to pay back.

    Oh did I forget to mention that the consolidated loan interest is going from 3.4% to 6.8% real soon? Oh did I forget to mention student loans are exempt from Bankruptcy laws? That thing is attached to you for life.

    We were losing 500,000 jobs per month under Republican Bushinomics!

    Obama has taken us up from a VERY deep Republican pittrap for the less-than-wealthy!

    But as Romney says "I don't worry about the poor!" Its the wealthy who need MORE money!

    The Crash happened because the Democrats fought regulation of the home loan banks and Fannie & Freddie. When regulations were passed, they were so watered down they became completely ineffective as evidenced by the crash. So you can call it Demonomics.

    Its a catch 22 situation in many places at the moment. You have got the right qualifications ,but not the experience that the employer is looking for. At the other end of the scale with minimum wage jobs, they say you are to overqualified for the job, leaving many in limbo.

    College Is a Debtor's Prison for the American Family
    7/24/12 - The U.S. higher education system is a pretty good business, as college costs are rising way ahead of the rate of inflation, and ahead of the ability of U.S. families to pay for a college education.
