College Students: Proposed Solution to the College Loan DebtThis petition is requesting for Robert Casey Jr, a Pennsylvania State Senator to propose a bill. This bill is two fold. It would require private loans to have credit checks at multiple stages throughout a student borrower's career. First at admission to properly explain to the student and their parent how the process wil work so that they can decide if the loan should be co-signed or not. Then periodically during the semester when grades are given finally ending when the student graduates and receives their first job. This will help the student focus specifically on their major to graduate on time and find a well paying job to be able to pay back their loans. Through having the private lender paying attention to the student's finances they can tweak and make sure default rates are essentially lowered since they know exactly how much each graduate is making. The second part would be to propose federal loans be targeted to specific high demand jobs in the United States. This way the economy would be stimulated by having an influx of jobs in those areas that are sparse, allowing graduates to make a solid earning and be able to pay back loans without defaulting.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Simrun Soni

Support the 6-Pack of Government Expenditure-FREE Student Loan Debt Reform MeasuresApproaching $1 trillion, student loan debt has eclipsed credit card debt in America. Economic observers are finally paying attention, citing student loans as a looming bubble that could present another obstacle as the U.S. tries to recapture its economic footing. Yet, there are simple and cost effective ways to fix America’s broken student loan system. Studentloandebtreform.org has developed the six proposals above to reduce student loan debt (see http://www.studentloandebtreform.org for details). The problem is simple: too much money is loaned at too high interest rates to students who have to pay too high tuitions. Student loan debt represents a crisis that our government so far has been unwilling to address. By neglecting to deal with the student loan debt issue, our country and its leaders are effectively ensuring that millions of Americans will live out a good measure of their lives under crushing student loan debt. This debt does and will continue to prevent borrowers from achieving the financial position necessary to start a family, buy a house, or otherwise contribute in a meaningful way to the economy. Government officials have not shown that they fully understand or appreciate the very real drag that student loan debt has on the overall economy. Student loan borrowers do not have a lobby. We do not have the money to fund congressional campaigns. There is no super PAC to fight for us. This fight is ours and ours alone. It is more critical than ever that we make our voices heard, especially to members of Congress. We need action now. The proposals above do NOT call for any government expenditures. Nor do they call for a massive program of student loan debt forgiveness. Rather, they strive to create a student loan repayment system that is fair to borrowers and taxpayers and that would provide an immediate stimulus for the American economy.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chip Taylor
