Tell U.S. lawmakers to ensure that federal student loan interest rates don't double from 3.4% to 6.8%

This is absurd! I have women in my program that have in excess of $43,000 worth of student loan debts. And no degree. They will never get out of debt. The biggest "offenders" are the online private university that charge outrageous tuition and get the students to apply for student loans from the beginning, the majority of them have no concept as to the aftermath. They are trapped with the school because they have credits built up that WON'T transfer to accredited colleges, or they graduate with a WORTHLESS degree that limits then from pursuing a masters. In essence, they abuse people who want a degree and have to support themselves at 2-3 jobs, fully believing that education is the ticket to a better life...and it is...as long as you don't have thousands and thousands of debt you can't repay. I know personally that Kaplan University did this to one of my employees. She has $65,000 worth of debt with a degree that few will recognize. I am pleading with the lawmakers to stop these schools from taking advantage of students in order to substantially increase their profit margin. This is not only burdening the students, but also our economy. I also am requesting that a thorough investigation be made into the practices of the for profit universities immediately.

I think this is terrible and you will receive what you put out, good or bad. in this particular case, not fair/unfair! I'm going to put scripture on this cause you tax collectors, tax raisers, & other corrupt government officials aren't trying to hearing what the people that you are taxing to poverty have to say about this. Job 27:17 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;.
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper make.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. James 1:9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business. 12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 5:1 Go to now, yes rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Yes have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Yes have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; yes have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Yes have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. Luke 18:22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” God's Comfort in Tribulation / 2Corinthians 1-7.

3Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;.

4Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God.

5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.

6And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation. this to you all that are suffering doing the time of tribulations. may you be comfort & blessed <3.

Student loans are seen as financial aid and touted as such by financial aid counselors. I believe they are just acting as agents for the big banks to load on debt to students for repayment when they can least afford it. When I was 35, I became totally disabled, permanently, and could no longer work. By the laws in place, my student loans would be forgiven due to this. Yet, despite being certified by Social Security as totally and permanently disabled, the student loan holder (every correspondence was from a different source) spent 10 years hounding me for repayment saying "the SSA's determination of disability isn't good enough for us". Come on, people, it's the strictest standard that exists! I will never feel good about this predatory program.
