Or the ones who can't find jobs to repay their college debt in the Obamarecession?

And what has Obama done to bring jobs back to America?

Is there anything that you won't turn into a partisan issue?

Is there anything you guys pick for your outrage-of-the-day that doesn't involve slamming poor people and struggling people for the acts of the conservatives?

I have an aunt who got a degree in criminology at 85 years old. I don't know if she had to take out loans. She had a lot of fun doing the ride-alongs with the policemen.

:Thud:

The bill would have helped save......

$2,000 each over the lifetime of their loans

(emphasis added)

Student loans have a life of 10 years.
