Too many of our young people are drowning in debt. Some will never be debt free at this pace. Education in this country shouldn't cost more than a house. At the growing rate of this economy, they won't be able to afford either.

When servicemen returned to civilian life after WW II, our education was funded by the GI Bill. Now, when the technological future requires even more education for them and the country, we are not giving the same opportunity to returning service men and women. We should.

I am writing in favor of HR4170, student loan forgiveness. With the economy and todays world it would be nice if student loans could be forgiven. Many people have tons of student loan debt and are struggling to make ends meet with just the usual household bills. Groceries are highly expensive these days. It's hard enough just to feed the family. Please vote HR4170.

The expense of education in our country. It causes so much stress and worry in peoples lives. It's hard enough to deal with daily life expenses. These students are our counties future. Please help them. Help us. Education expense is put of control.

My petition is regarding the Social Security benefit for children when one or both parents has passed away. In 1981 this benefit changed for children after they completed high school! Before then, the benefit continued unitl the child turned 21 or 22. I was told when the government thought Social Security was going away, they made changes to many benefits, and this was one of them. As we see, Social Security is still here 31 years later! This benefit needs to be return for chldren wanting to go to college, who have one or no parents living to help support them through college. Financial Aid is not enough to get these children through college! They are accomulating mountains of student loans, when this benefit could help them offset some of their college expenses! Do the right thing and help these children attending college! Their parents worked years and paid into the system, and now they do not have the support they need to get a decent education! Please return this Benefit effective immediately!!!
