The Government should permanently forgive the student loans for the long-term unemployed and underemployed without gainful employment.
Why is this important?
I lost my 28 plus year career in aerospace in 2008 due to the recession. In 2010, I returned to school for my MBA, thinking it would add to my candidacy. But despite having a relevant advanced degree, I cannot get hired at an appropriate level because the middle income jobs have been off-shored. Today I have a part-time job, which makes me thoroughly under-employed making minimum wage that doesn't pay minimal living expenses. It is an economic travesty that those who had a hand in creating the recession, their children don't have to pay back their student loans. Student loan debt is the highest form of indebtedness in America today, even surpassing credit card debt! When will our elected leaders return to doing what is best for the American people, not the special interests. Afford the long-term unemployed permanent student loan forgiveness, now!
