Whoa, things have been hard during a recession? Well, a bunch of charts that end at 2014 definitely prove the sky is falling then, you got me there bro.

Seriously?
My wife has $240,000 in medical school loans at 7.9%
We got them refinanced at 3.4% through SoFi (capitalism at it's best - I know)
You expect them to be lower than that?
People complaining about $50k debt LOL....
Over a 20 year term that is $<270 per month. Which anywhere will refinance that for 20 years.
Stop complaining about debt and go get a fucking job.
Obamacare?? WHAT A DISASTER!
You clearly can't handle the truth.
Obamacare has been pretty great and gotten a whole lot of people insured that otherwise were falling through the cracks and costing the country a whole lot of money by showing up at emergency rooms and then being unable to pay their bills. It's far from perfect, but it's still pretty great.
And yes, I expect the government to not make a profit on student loans. I know, it's a wacky, wacky idea, but it seems like something that's for the public benefit should be run for the public benefit rather than for a tidy profit. It's mostly coz I'm a filthy dirty hippy.
