Cheaper, Bigger, and Cooler Student Loans

New federal standards ease some of the financial pressure for students and their parents

Posted July 1, 2008

Updated on 7/2/08: A previous version of this story contained a quote from Tim Ranzetta of Student Lending Analytics.

These companies are so new they don't have much of a track record yet. But such "person to person" loans were, of course, the very first type of loans of any kind—including education loans. As the Internet weaves more connections between people like students who need cash and retirees and investors who are interested in investments, the future of student lending may look more like that of the distant past.

Keep ignoring the obvious

They want you indebted, they want you to pay huge sums of money for College Tuition Debt so your forced to work whatever job you can find, Understand?

Debtor F..king Nations have this Problem.

In the USA when it was a Creditor nation Years ago College Tuition was Free at some Colleges and very Cheap at Most others, you could attend Harvard University for less then 1000.00 a year back in 1969, the Government would pick up Half so $500.00/Yearly.

The US is now a weak Country with the largest debts in the history of the world and so everything you do here is debt based and Slaves are made this way.

Do you all want to be Slaves with no Rights or Future?

Do You have the Balls to change things or go Gently into the Night?
