High school social studies teachers mentioned it, and my generation is feeling it.

But the 20-somethings are really feeling the pain now, and with the selfishness of people and the size of the boomer/elderly voting block, I don't see anything changing.

Responses:

I really feel for them, honestly. the student loan situation by itself is horrible. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 07:36 5
- I do feel that the student loan situation would be helped immensely by market pressure. - TFox Apr 4, 07:38 4
  - I think there's a long way to go before the elite colleges would feel the pressure. there are more than enough rich kids and/or kids willing - loosilu Apr 4, 07:40 3
    - the elite colleges have billion dollar endowments. it's the other schools who depend on $20k+/year in federally-subsidized loans per student - pixitude Apr 4, 07:42
    - well right, there's a ton of schools that cost more than $30k a year that aren't Harvard. -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 07:41 1
      - but which one is going to be first to admit it? -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 07:42
