91. Lol, I love the John Lennon ref. Jfyi though, loving Lennon is not

a requirement to be a Democrat/Liberal/Progressive.

Lucky you. There was a time before Wall Street's influence on Student Loans when most people could afford to pay them off.

Higher Education during your time was possible for all Americans without indebting them well into their sixties or seventies. But that is not the case today, so be thankful you are not one of today's students who have the choice not to go to college at all, which many have sadly been forced to do, or to take out those predatory loans and hope they can get a job in order to pay them back, which so many have not since Corrupt Wall Street Bankers destroyed the Global Economy.

I know, 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps etc etc, that old 'conservative' admonition, 'your grandfather did it' etc etc.

Well, we live in a world today where Predatory Capitalists stole so much of the wealth of this country, with their 'privatization' schemes and gambling in the Big Wall STreet Casino with OUR money, which has made things a lot different than they were during those days when education was within reach for all Americans.

We will have to be very creative in order to help those people along who have been cheated out of their futures. And thankfully, we have brilliant strategists like OWS to step into the void and to force these issues into the public dialogue finally.
