Students who attend college have debt, okay, and why is this in need of some action group to point out what should be rather obvious. This is like some organization being started to point out the trend of Americans having credit card debt.

No one forced you to take out a college loan and no one forced you to go to a college you couldn't afford. If you want a good education you have to pay for it, sorry; but crying about it won't win over any sympathy points with most people in the real world who have mortgages, car loans, children to pay for and their own debt to manage.; 12:27 AM
