Today I rise on behalf of the millions of Veterans who have returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan. From joblessness to homelessness, the readjustment to civilian life has been extremely difficult for our brave men and women. So it is our responsibility to do all we can to lighten their already heavy load. Today, my colleagues and I sent a letter to the Education and the Workforce Committee urging Chairman John Kline to address the aggressive and deceptive targeting of service members, Veterans, and their families by educational institutions, particularly for-profit career colleges. I’ve read reports of schools steering our Vets and their family members into expensive loans, rather than directing them to less expensive federal student loans. This is egregious and appalling and it must be stopped. Join me in calling for hearings and the movement of legislation. I yield back.

“Americans Owe More Debt On Their Student Loans Than They Do On Their Credit Cards” Pres Obama was interesting. Please watch my full review and thank you god bless! I have nothing against the president I just want to let people know that education will always be expensive. Education is expensive because they have to pay Professors at of money to each each degree course! If you lower the tuition than the professors will not work everything in the education system will fall apart. Facebook: www.facebook.com Twitter: twitter.com

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report from voaspecialenglish.com | http Modern microfinance started with economist Muhammad Yunus. In the nineteen seventies, he started what became the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. He and the bank shared the Nobel Peace Prize in two thousand six for the idea of offering small loans to the poor to fight poverty. In twenty ten, reports of harmful micro lending methods and corruption shook the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Mr. Yunus recently said in the New York Times that things got out of control. He noted that Andhra Pradesh had intensive lending activity at the time. We spoke to Ghiyath Nakshbendi about changes in the world of microfinance. He is an expert in international business and teaches microfinance as a business model at the Kogod School of Business at American University. He says the government of India in certain states has started taking steps to “guarantee that these institutions are operating under a strict system.”Some experts have raised questions about whether micro lending lifts women or poor families out of poverty. David Roodman is with the Center for Global Development, a research group in Washington. He says microloans do not do a good job fighting poverty. He says over three billion dollars went into microcredit in twenty-ten. But many lenders failed because of bad supervision or failure to repay loans.In one model, governments or nongovernmental organizations give money to microcredit operations …

Stannard took advantage of a special program offered by the Case IH Company to purchase a Case IH Magnum 340 Tractor which will be loaned to the JVS. The tractor is valued at over 7000 and represents the very cutting edge of farm equipment technology, complete with GPS system and an EPA Tier 4 emissions control system, now mandatory on tractors and trucks. “The farming and agriculture industries are going hi-tech,” stated Stannard. “It’s important that the JVS students have the opportunity to develop the skills that employers require. This is a very sophisticated piece of equipment, and I’m proud to be able to help the JVS students take advantage of learning opportunities associated with it.” “Having our students trained on this new and emerging technology is certainly going to give our students an employment advantage,” said IEM Instructor Greg Hendricks. “Junior and senior students, at both beginning and advanced skill levels, will be learning about the operation, maintenance, and …

This is the VOA Special English Education Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Imagine that you have lost your job. You could start a sewing business at home if you had a better sewing machine and a little money to advertise. But you cannot get a loan from a bank. In recent times, many people in similar situations have received loans from student microfinance groups. Such groups make small loans for business or personal use. Twelve of the organizations are part of a national network called the Campus Microfinance Alliance. The alliance provides financial aid, technical advice and training programs for its member groups. Each group has between ten and seventy volunteers, many of them college students. They have enabled hundreds of people across the United States to launch small businesses. Vanessa Carter is director of the alliance. She says bad economic times have sped the growth of the college microfinance movement. “This really got started because students were walking off campus, it was the height of the economic recession, and they were seeing boarded up businesses and the effects of high unemployment first hand.”In Iowa, a student microfinance group at Grinnell College helps people both locally and internationally. The group started in two thousand seven. At that time, Grinnell student Jeff Raderstrong and some friends raised more than six hundred dollars from other students. The Saturday-night Grinnell tradition of missing a meal to help others enabled the …
