Since this has veered off into the thrad to discuss things related to HPV, it's worth noting that the CDC has now published its recommendation for boys to get vaccinated.

I heard that Obama was going to forgive all the bad mortgages and all the bad student loans.

If I may be allowed to throw in an ancient Dutch proverb: The way the landlord is, is how he trusts his guests. Meaning: the landlord is a man for whom money is the only value, so he thinks that goes for everyone.

Pretty close:

Who will benefit from Obama's student loan plan? - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

The Obama administration has said that 1.6 million Americans will benefit from the lower monthly payments, and upwards of 6 million can take advantage of the loan consolidations, which will lower interest rates by up to 0.5 percent. Most of those affected will be current students or recent borrowers whose income is sufficiently low upon entering the workforce that monthly payments are a significant financial burden.

According to a White House fact sheet, a teacher $25,000 in debt and earning $30,000 a year will see their payments reduced to about $114 a month.

Perhaps with your expertise in legalize you can point out the part that says those students are having their student loans forgiven?

The part where the student makes so little money that they don't have to pay back according to their agreement.

A person with $80,000 in student debt with a payment of $47.50/mth due to their earning only $16,000/yr will take 140 years to pay the principle.

Was there a part I missed that claimed A) that such students would never earn more; B) that they would never be required to pay more; or C) that they even could pay more at such a wage level, regardless of what the regulations were?

I'll take any of the three.

Do you understand how inflation works Kael?

Run the numbers on this and the game is to take a low salary for 10 years or so, you have gained almost $20,000 in value on your debt.

Where did I miss the news that people couldn't consolidate their student loans for a lower rate?
I did that in 2001. Just advertising this isn't really new.

Can you make the payment based upon how much you are earning?

Could you choose to take off for 6 months and show that you should only be paying $114?

Yes, and yes. It's called income based and a deferment. Something you should know if you paid attention when you got your loan in the first place. It's been part of the Stafford and Hope loan programs since the 1990s.

I have never borrowed money for schooling. I am personally ignorant of the system, just anecdotes from friends.

So yet another topic that you have neither personal experience nor have researched, yet you feel the need to comment on.

Just as I thought.

I always knew that the unemployed and underemployed were really running a scam.

Now I know that they're effectively rich!

Wait till the tax is on the enrichment via debt forgiveness.

You now owe tax on the value you gained by not paying the correct amount.
