Gosh, I read the most uplifting news ever this morning. Wanna see it? Here:

Huge College Loans Eating Up Salaries

Yeah. Totally awesome. It's really inspiring. All of those years of being told that higher education was the way to get ahead, and it turns out that the only "get" we're getting is further into debt. Woo!! Crack open the Pabst and break out the coozies, kids-- we're havin' a party!

The great thing is that our Congress is really out there doing its part. I mean really. They are so on the side of students. Ha ha ha I am totally kidding!!! The kicker is that a while back-- you probably heard something about this-- the House and Senate threw down this budget reconcilliation business. 'Cause, you know, when you have to pay for a war and cleanup of the totally-preventable-if-someone-had-actually-invested-the-money-in-the-first-place aftermath of a natural disaster, you're not going to pay for it by eliminating tax cuts for the rich, and you're definitely not going to pay for it by raising taxes.

You're going to pay for it by making it more difficult and more expensive for students to get loans for school.
