Pelosi: House Will Attach Student Loan Reform To Health Care Bill

i can hear the speech from obama to the dems…we are about to embark on a mission in which many of you may not return but you have laid down your careers for nancy and my wishes of passing a bill that no one wants but the left of the left and illegal immigrants that we will legalize through recociliation.

All I know that if this monstrosity does pass, I’m so afraid that the people will revolt. It’s just another bill to “hurt” the working Americans and give more to the people that are too lazy to get out and make and living for the “numerous” children they create. Something has to give…..I know you won’t see it here but June 1 in the state of Ohio Acorn is Banned, this is great news…..watch Fox tonight, they will tell the whole story, dont miss it!

Now help me with this..How does a student loan bill have anything to do with health care? So they want to take over the health care and decide who gets loans to college. This administration is the most out of control government actions ever and they need to be stopped.

I’m so tired of the “The Sky is Falling” remarks from everyone against everything the gov’t proposes. Do you understand how out of control the costs of education have gotten? It absolutely makes no sense that in order to go to school, you end up coming out with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt – making it almost not worth going at all. The banks are profiting off of all of this. You may not agree with everything the Obama administration is proposing. Fine. Then what is the solution? WE NEED SOLUTIONS. For health care AND education costs. At this point I wish they would just decide on SOMETHING and get it over with.

I’m surprised but please that government will deal with the student loan problem. Right now, banks charge way too much interest on their student loans. Just like the too high health insurance premiums, as family’s budgets overcharged in these areas, they don’t have the money to buy other items. This translates into a failing economy, except for the banks and the insurance companies!
Why should there be a middle-man for student loans, when the government is the one lending the money?

How about not spending money to mail a letter to everyone telling them that they are gonna get a mailing from the census? Let’s reform government!

Reducing the deficit….We can rid ourselves of the senate, congress, presidential advisers and possibly even the president himself. Wind up Harry, Stenny and Nancy and watch them go!

To complete her ‘ultimate’ wishes of legislation as a San Francisco liberal, she could propose to process a 3 in 1 package bill consisting of government run health care, government-run student loan and naturalization of undocumented alien. Lets see how much support she could get.

All joking aside, think of how perverted this has become..an overwhelmingly large and expensive healthcare bill, that most Americans are against, is being made less expensive by adding a student loan bill which will make money off the interest our kids will pay the government for their loans..and this money will supposedly be applied to the above mentioned healthcare bill that most Americans don’t want.

It’ll soon be government run everything. The only employer left will be the government. We need a change in leadership…no more Pelosi and Reid!

Where’s the media?? Were this George Bush, they’d be screaming from the rooftops that the eeevil Booosh and GOP was forcing this on the public, and every news update would tout the polls running heavily AGAINST this BS….but no….just reporting it like it’s being dictated to them, like good little fellow travelers.

The US needs to pay for the 50% unfunded fiscal hole in Medicare before it adds another unfunded healthcare program.
Alan Greenspan said that Medicare is 50% unfunded causing amazing debt. Rep. During the healthcare summit Paul Ryan reported that Medicare has a $38 Trillion deficit, $260,000 per taxpayer. The most paid per taxpayer is $7,000/yr in 2009. If we doubled taxes now and dedicated half to Medicare, we could pay off our Medicare debt in 38 years. Medicare debt moral: NEVER use debt to pay entitlements.
If the government has no more debt financing of entitlements, the US may avoid going bankrupt; If the government repudiated its debt, the result would be hyperinflation; making money worthless, destroying the middle class and starving our people; this happened to Germany in 1923.
O’Bama and Pelosi would have to increase taxes 229% to pay for their $12.7 Trillion in Welfare ($10.3trillion) and National Health ($2.4trillion) entitlements, $9,000/taxpayer per year. They’re BORROWING it; If we do nothing, can hyperinflation be more than two to four years off?
In August 2009, the Washington Post said that O’Bama’s programs will be an additional $9trillion in the red by 2019. A USA Today story on 5/19/2008 estimated that the household liability for government programs is $61.7 trillion, or $531,472 per household. That is more than four times what Americans owe in personal debt such as mortgages.
Tax receipts are down the most since the great depression, yet Mr. O’Bama is increasing spending by 25%. Brian Riedl reports, “in the short term, President Obama has offered a budget that would increase federal spending to a peacetime-record 24.5 percent of GDP by 2019 — not even counting the health care plan. Because tax revenues cannot keep up with this spending growth, the President’s budget would add $9.1 trillion in new debt over the next decade. It would double the national debt to 82 percent of GDP by 2019.”
What will you do about this? Ask your congressman to vote down these entitlements.
If the Democrat leaders in congress wish to have universal healthcare, they might add an additional 20% ‘VAT’ sales tax as the Europeans do. That’s the only option that doesn’t decrease the number of jobs.

I work for a bank in the student loan department and firmly believe the ENTIRE process needs to be reworked. But having the government take control of who gets how much when at what price, which will eliminate thousands of jobs across the US, is NOT the answer! How about regulating how banks calculate interest? How about regulating how much colleges can charge their students for attendance? How about better educating students on their financial options? How about NOT denying someone a federal grant because you assume Mommy and Daddy are going to help them pay for college?
Please, Mr. Obama, we put our faith and trust in you when we voted, we believed you would change things for the better, please don’t make us think we did the wrong thing.

The American people seem confused. First there is this rush to pass the “much needed taxpayer subsidies” but only for low income earners, now the last minute student loan legislation for taxpayer funded Pell grants but only for low income earners – all government administered. Is anyone starting to connect the dots yet? Next is amnesty folks.

How selfish a country are we when healthcare is not available to all? Wake-up call: Next time your pizza delivery guy comes to your door, do a quick survey and find out if he/she has health coverage. And why shouldn’t low income folks be able to take out low-interest student loans without making the commercial banking industry even more money? It’s about time that low-income Americans (and yes, many of them are working) get a break. By the way, I am not low-income. I am an upper-middle class, graduate-school educated person who feels it’s time to give back.

Hey Tom, I understand your frustration but with the insane debt that results from people trying to better themselves by going to school people might start injuring themselves and families may lose loved ones. You speak as if you either do not have student loans or had someone there to help you cover your school costs and did not expect repayment. Check out this page to see how the outrageous educational costs in this country are affecting just a few.
War sucks but is nothing new to this country and somewhere along the way we as a people forgot that to stay free we have to fight. The men and women who serve made their choice and I thank them for that but you need to spend some time accepting that people will die and be hurt and stop posting worthless comments that do not contribute to the topic at hand.
