UPDATE: 01/11/2012 - We are all still screwed. Other priorities created by the powerful elite have distracted our great nation from dealing with student loan debt in a responsible manner. Be sure to vote in 2012 - put progressives back in charge of the Congress and then scream like hell at them to get done what you want!

Challenge for 2010

As 2009 comes to a close I am inspired that more and more people are taking up the cause of the student loan debtor in America.

I have spent more time reading recently, especially at ForgiveStudentLoanDebt.com. What I have learned is that we need to educate everyone in America about the student loan debtor crisis.

While there seem to be pockets of people, both indebted and not, informed about the issue, there are still far more people unaware of what is going on.

So to everyone reading this I would like to present a delightful challenge for 2010, that if properly accepted and accomplished, could result in such sweeping change to how we operate in America that history would certainly note this as a turning point in the salvation of our culture.

The challenge is simple, rise up and become part of the movement to educate yourselves and others about the enslavement of the educated in this country to lifelong indentured servitude via student loan debt. Make this a secret that is shared and not kept and shame our leaders, both political and financial, for ever trying to silence one of the best parts of the American spirit - it's intelligence!

We the people deserve better - so let us all demand it.

May the New Year bring grace to you all.

Christmas and Good Will

Well it is almost Christmas once again and I have been so busy working that I have had very little time to spend here. (The irony is not lost on me that I have so little time for the most important financial issue in my life.)

So the time has come to rededicate myself to the task at hand - which is to reveal the problem of the student loan scam to the sleeping masses of the United States. Maybe, just maybe, with all the good Christmas cheer and will out there new warriors will come to the aid of the student loan serfs.

Many articles abound about the problems with the student loan lending system that is currently in place. And while it is this system that is to be blame there is very little chatter going on about how to get student debtors out of debt.

So to President Barack Obama, whom I voted for, I call you to arms. Return to student loan debtors our rights to seek relief from our financial burdens in court. If wealthy developers like Donald Trump have used this system - why oh why can't we?

And since I have such great respect for President Obama I hereby formally invite him to personally appear as a guest writer on my blog. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue Mr. President, so long as you leave the political talk out of it and get down to brass tacks. I'm sorry to be so blunt but time is of the essence so verbal sidestepping just won't do.

Merry Christmas to all of you and Happy Holidays!

Lost in the Shuffle

To my loyal fans out there (cricket, chirp,chirp) I just wanted to let you know that the issue of student loan indebtedness was still hot on the stove.

I never did hear back from my local politicians. I can only assume that it's not a priority for them because it won't keep them in or out of office.

I wonder if there are any institutions out there that can can lend a hand with getting the message out that another way to stimulate the economy is to get students out of debt.

Any suggestions out there?
