Amidst growing support for the Occupy Wall Street movement throughout the country, President Barack Obama has decided to fast track a proposal to ease the burden on those buried in student loan debt. According to the president’s new plan, people with direct government student loans and government-backed private loans will be able to consolidate the two into one government loan, allowing borrowers a lower government rate and a .5 percent interest rate reduction. The plan will also lower the cap on maximum repayment of loans based on discretionary income from 15 down to 10 percent and forgive remaining debt after 20 years instead of 25.

John Gibson Program for Monday, October 17th 2011 Class War! President Obama’s year long Class War has given birth to the Occupy Wall Street Movement, which has spread World-wide and which the President is increasingly taking vocal ownership of. Will backing a movement of Unionists, Angry College Grads, Anarchists, Socialists, Communists, Alex Jones Truthers and Ron Paul acolytes make a good re-election strategy? It polls well now. Gibson examines. Plus: Obama heads off on another Bus Tour! Pay Me! A quick dig beneath the surfaces of the OWS Movement and you’ll find the usual Left Wing suspects but you’ll also discover a theme and a demand from many of the younger protesters. Pay Off My Student Loans. Should a Government that signed off on Moral Hazard and Bailed out the Banks pay off the Student Loans for a generation that incurred that debt but were handed a horrible economy? Gibson judges. Cain Rising! GOP Front-running Herman Cain met the working end of the Sunday MSM as they grilled him about his 9-9-9 Plan and his Foreign Policy Chops. In some cases, it didn’t go well.
