It's not just Students! Parent Loans are killing us too!

With Student Loans finally getting some attention, it's time to help the parents who generously helped their children attend the schools of their dreams.The massive debt is bad for the economy and the former students have their own debt to deal with and can't help.

Why is this important?

We always told our daughter to worry about her grades, and we would worry about the rest. Well, she did her part, and got into her dream school early decision (NYU). Once her savings were gone, we were forced to take on incredible debt after her dad lost his job, and could not find another. We wanted her to graduate, and she did. We now owe close to $200K, and can't even start paying it back without income.
The federal government should give some assistance to the parents who tried to help their kids achieve their dreams at the same time as the economy was bottoming out.
