We are the 99%! We could not all be mythical bootstraps college students. Tuition costs have risen 600% between 1980 and 2010. Wages, of course, did not keep up. The predatory for-profit student loan industry has lobbied Congress to strip away necessary consumer protections, allowing our debt to snowball out of control.

Lenders need to be held accountable for standing in the way of true reform that would actually assist struggling student debtors.

Congress, start caring about the younger generation and reenact the reforms you dissolved in 2005. It is in America's best interest to be on our side, even if we don't have Sallie Mae's lobbying dollars.

Music: Matthew Kresling

  • Don't just complain: Do something -- come to MY YouTube channel, and see the most recent video & sign my petition to The Whitehouse. -- I document in my video notes that if I get only 150 signatures, my petition will remain PERMANENTLY archived at The Whitehouse website, AND able to receive signatures & publicly searchable even *after* the expiration period ends -- the other petition I cite is still archived, so I know mine will be. If I don't get 150, it gets deleted, so GO SIGN it, ok?
