This is the VOA Special English Education Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Today we talk more about the costs of higher education in the United States. If you missed last week’s report, you can find it on YouTube or at voaspecialenglish.com. Foreign students who need financial aid generally have to seek it from the school itself or their own government or employer. If you follow the news, then you know that President Obama recently signed health care reform legislation. But one of the two bills he signed into law also made unrelated changes in the federal student loan program. These changes will require new loans to come directly from the Department of Education. The department already makes these federally guaranteed loans for American citizens and permanent legal residents. But since the early nineteen nineties it has also paid private lenders to provide them. Now, as of July first, all new loans will go though the direct loan program only. Officials say the new law will save the government sixty-one billion dollars over ten years. The plan is to use more than half the savings to provide more federal Pell Grants to needy students. A few billion will also go to schools that traditionally serve minorities and to help two-year community colleges. The new law will reduce the most that borrowers must repay each year from fifteen percent of their income to ten percent. And the longest repayment period will be shortened from twenty-five years. Any remaining debt will …

The following description was taken from the actual petition hosted on SignOn.org signon.org Forgiving the student loan debt of all Americans will have an immediate stimulative effect on our economy. With the stroke of the President’s pen, millions of Americans would suddenly have hundreds, or in some cases, thousands of extra dollars in their pockets each and every month with which to spend on ailing sectors of the economy. As consumer spending increases, businesses will begin to hire, jobs will be created and a new era of innovation, entrepreneurship and prosperity will be ushered in for all. A rising tide does, in fact, lift all boats – forgiving student loan debt, rather than tax cuts for corporations, millionaires and billionaires, has a MUCH greater chance of helping to rise that tide in a MUCH shorter time-frame. The future economic success of this country is wholly dependent upon a well-educated, prosperous middle class. Instead of saddling entire generations with debt from which there is no escape, let’s empower the American people to grow this economy on their own! Therefore, we, the undersigned, strongly encourage Congress and the President to support H. Res 365, introduced by Rep. Hansen Clarke (D-MI), seeking student loan forgiveness as a means of economic stimulus. For over 30 years, the rich have gotten richer, the poor have gotten poorer, and the middle class is slowly but surely being squeezed out of existence. Instead of more of the same corporate …

Total student-loan borrowing is approaching trillion dollars and both Barack Obama and Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters are adamant some or all of that debt should be forgiven. But forgiving such loans ignores that the debt is voluntary, is relatively small for the average borrower, and merely continues the same bailout mentality that has already gutted the American economy.

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.

Ben Kinchlow, former cohost of The 700 Club, in this videtorial shares that much of what is being affirmed as Racism today is something he calls Virtual Racism. In this mini-documentary produced by Dylan and Josh Wade you will get a non-nonsense history lesson that is spot on. Ben says, “This ‘virtual racism’ would have been hailed years ago by rank and file blacks as ‘having reached the promised land.’ “The thought having been ‘possibly’ redlined for a loan, or ‘perhaps’ not being promoted, or experiencing deliberately slow service at a restaurant would have been an occasion for singing, ‘We have overcome.’ “I had a very interesting conversation with a young African-American man recently who owns his own business and he’s also the operations manager for a very successful minority-owned business. He and his wife drive luxury imports and send their kids to a private school. “When he complained about racism because of an article he had seen, I asked him, ‘How would you define racism in America? Give me some examples.’ He trotted out the usual… ‘People who are refused jobs.’ ‘People who disagree with Obama.’ ‘People who use the N word,’ etc. “But I persisted. Give me a specific example of when and how have personally been subjected to overt racism or racist behavior? “He was forced to admit that neither he, nor anyone he knew personally, had ever been subjected to overt racism? He was forced to admit that neither he nor anyone he knew personally had ever been called the N …
