And the point that seems to be most missing here is that we reward Big Bank/Big Problems by giving them money almost interest-free and buying toxic assets, neither of which they deserve.
The future of any society is its education. Agreed, Byzantine Art History is not a lucrative major, but there are a lot of legitimate fields. See if you can get a job as a nuclear engineer with a GED. Yet members of Congress would be just as happy to make it harder to advance your education.
So, we punish the students, and reward the banks. Sounds like Standard Operating Procedure to me.

Ya the reason rates are going up is because of the Bush tax cuts. On what days do you tell the truth Jen?

Interest rate doubled? Does this mean doubled from 0.25% to 0.50%? And does it make me old that I can actually remember a time when it was 16%?

It means from 3.4% to 6.8% and it is the fault of the current Congress.
