Reduce the Rate: Rev. Jesse Jackson Joins Movement Against Crippling Rates on Student Loans
Amid massive government bailouts of the nations banks, we speak to the Reverend Jesse Jackson about Reduce the Rate, his new campaign urging the Obama administration to slash the interest rates on crippling student loans. We also speak with Alan Collinge, founder of Student Loan Justice and author of The Student Loan Scam: The Most Oppressive Debt in U.S. History—and How We Can Fight Back.

At 58 and disabled in the current economy with all the talk about amnesty for illegals here.... mainly steeling jobs that some OF us might have done between jobs. It WOULD BE NICE almost patriotic TO SEE SOME AMNESTY FOR THOSE OF US THAT had our lives destroyed by the Student Loan Scams, labor love affair with illegal workers. I signed the loan paper never thinking my country would stiff me the way it has. I laugh now whenever someone takes an "Oath of Office".
