Student Loan Debt

[cardiacclep]

What really needs to be revisited is the interest rates. They're sky high. Far more than a mortgage or car loan. I had some that are at 9% and these are all from the US Department of Education. None are private loans. They've even consolidated. The interest alone is more than my loans originally were. The interest is brutal.

This. Interest rates never seem to take center stage in the student debt debate. It is the interest rates that get people. Usury really.
