re: Student-Loan Delinquencies Now Surpass Credit Cards

I believe they've done things to help. As someone on this board pointed out to me before, there is income sensitive repayment options. I also believe you can have the payments put on hold for a time if something catastrophic happens to your finances, ie lose a job etc.
I think there are a lot of people out there who took loans they didn't really need, or took more than they needed b/c they govt was handing them out. I don't think they should be forgiven.

With that being said, however, I'd rather the govt bail out it's citizens with debt forgiveness than have them bail out big business.
