Student Loan Burden Gets Bigger

The banks that get bailed out no matter what are getting a raise!  They can now charge more on student loans!  Yay!
While the new quarter has started with a bang for the capital markets and those 1% who actually benefit from one after another record high courtesy of the Fed’s “fairy dust“, July 1 is an important date for another group of Americans: students. However, instead of more wealth, America’s aspiring intelligentsia has something far less pleasant to look forward to, namely more debt, because today is when higher interest rates for education loans kick in. Starting July 1 all new loans for the 2013/2014 student year will increase from 3.86% to 4.66%, a 20% increase.
The heart of our economic problems is the acceptance of usury, AKA interest.

So Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
