Because one has to move themselves up from a min wage job. If the best you can do is be a burger flipper for 30+ years then you have sealed your fate in life.
Why would you say

3. The government should buy/pay off 40 to 60% of the student loan debt (both private and federal loans). While I don't like the idea, it would free up $400 to $600+ billion for those with student loans to put back into the economy.
NO NO NO ! ! !
They wanted the high dollar education and loans
and now can not pay for it ... thats is tuff.
I'M not for pay it of with taxpayers money who worked hard for it so
the students could have a free education at our expense when we can't afford to put our own children in collage.
They wanted the loan now let them pay for it themselves,
by taking that education and get a JOB where they have to work, and pay it back ! ! !
That's right. We have a perfect storm hitting us 1/1/2013 if Congress doesn't act.
And it doesn't look like they will so only Bernanke can "save" us by printing more money ?
The can has been kicked down the road but the end of that road is 1/1/2013.

I always wonder why the discussion always resolves around the idea that others should pay for peoples education but never about how we could bring the costs down?
Ok pknopp, I'll talk about how we could bring cost down. Subsiding drives prices up so the answer is "stop subsiding" lol. If you want something stop looking for someone else to pay for it.
