Doesn't the change to the student loan system only cut out the middle man (because the money was already coming from the government) and save us money in the long run?
I voted for Obama along with many of my friends so he could bring our Country together. I truly believe we are more divided now than anytime other time in my lifetime. Are Republicans guilty? Maybe. But I voted for what i thought was a leader. You have to point the finger at those with all the power not the other way around. Why blame those that have no impact on passed policy?
The truth of the matter is Dems have held a majority of both houses for many years now. Republicans could show up naked wearing black socks and it wouldn't matter. It's simple math not smoke and mirrors folks.
I feel I was duped by a lying President and propaganda infused media. Did anyone out there realize also included in the healthcare bill is a complete takeover of the student loans system by the federal gov't? If you need money for school the Gov't will now be deciding who gets it and who doesn't. Seriously what is going on???? Why slide this in and why isn't the media covering it? I saw this posted in a friends private blog.
Expect to see Obama's approval rating go back to the 50s very quickly after this passes. Part of his problem now is with his own base, but they'll soon be a little bit happier.

Yes. I used the William Ford Direct Loan program in grad school, and I feel like it was a better program than the mister's routed through banks federal student loans.
You Democrats have all your slogans and soundbites down but I would rather say no to a disaster than be the party of "me too" as the country goes down the toilet. Republicans got into trouble in the last 10 years by abandoning common sense and the Constitution and going along with the crowd.
