I must say that your post carries a lot of happiness for those students who are in debt. Many of the students are facing hard times due to the debt repayment. That bill will make them smile.

Until now the issues on

Until now the issues on financial services haven't ended, Virginia stated that car title lending and lenders are accused as loan sharks and buying votes - and it seems the central issue has yet to be addressed about car title loans, payday loans and payday lenders - demand creates the supply. People must be desperate enough to get these loans - perhaps their income level has something to do with that. Typical CEO to average worker pay has a ratio of several hundred to one, if not into the thousands - Something must be done about that.

That would be the day to

That would be the day to forgive student loans but um why are you going to say forgive i mean so many other countries like Sweden for example pay their citizens/students future business and country leaders to go to school imagine that it's not much but yes they get a few hundred bucks a month to go. Man we could learn a lot from so many other countries around the world. I have to get cash advance every couple of months it seems i pay them back quickly but it'd be nice to save once in a while.

I am glad to hear this.As we

I am glad to hear this.As we are experiencing crisis.We need to support each other and consider aspects like this loans.They really need to evaluate and consider some limitations in order to avoid some problems in the future.Anyway, thank you for sharing your opinions and thoughts about this issue.In relevance to this,one of the hardest things to do is manage medical debt,as the costs are incredible and it IS,after all,cause of 60% of bankruptcy filings in the US.Health insurance helps – as long as they don't stiff you – but one of the biggest things to watch for is billing mistakes.Mistakes in medical billing can add up quick,and can send you running for payday loans to try and get the balance down. Ask for itemized statements,and contest any charges that are obviously not supposed to be there.Also,continuous efforts to pay will help you out tremendously.

Good News but...

Yes this is good news but let's not forget the limitations of IBR for married couples and all student loan borrowers.

I just posted a comment on the original article site but here is the full length version:

"The immense burden of inescapable student loan debt does far more than cripple people financially however - it cripples them socially. Without the proper finances educated people with student loans not only have to worry about the basic necessities but also whether they can ever afford to purchase a first home, get married or even have children of their own.

Student loan borrowers are thus being forced into a debtor's eugenics movement of a sort - because we were hooked into this form of debt we are being sterilized by financial proxy.

So I urge President Obama to not only change the IBR program as mentioned but to exclude spousal income with regards to IBR and to also allow the indebted spouse to claim all student loan interest paid each year.

As a recently married man - I cannot afford IBR with my wife's income included in any repayment calculation. I also cannot afford to file my taxes separate - which is the only way to exclude her income in IBR - because if I do file my taxes 'married filing separate' I lose my student loan interest deduction entirely and we end up paying a higher tax rate! So what they give me on hand they take away with the other.

According to the Department of Education - only the person whose signature appears on the loan papers for federal direct loans is responsible for the loans. If that is so - then why should spousal income matter in any repayment calculation? Why make spouses indirectly responsible when they are not supposed to be responsible for them at all?!

As a result I have spoken to my wife about a possible divorce - for obvious financial reasons - because I will never let them hold her responsible for my debt nor will I let them punish us because we got married. How sad is this, that anyone would even consider a divorce because they wanted an education?"

Warmest Regards,
J. Densmore

Student Loan Debt Forgiveness

It is my hope that this debt will someday be forgiven before I'm too old. I graduated from college when I was 52 years old and acquired a $27,000 student loan debt. Since then I didn't make enough on my job to pay it back because I had other escalating bills. Now the loan has escalated fo $40,000 and back in 2006 my job was eliminated, I was let go and had to get deferments on the loan because of unemployment and am still unemployed. Now I'm collecting social security, not working and have a degree that I'll do nothing with but I'm stuck with $40,000 worth of debt. This should be forgiven because of my age if anything else. This is so unfair. I'll probably die before I pay this loan back.
