Students are caught in the same hedge fund depression as everyone else.
The greed of the ultra-wealthy and their banks, both of which were bailed out, destroyed the economy, trapping those who have invested in it in smaller, more vulnerable ways. Homeowners, the middle class, and students, people who counted upon the economy to provide jobs allowing them to work for benefits and the ability to pay off loans have been trapped.
The only folks who have come out of this well are the super-rich. As planned.
In the meantime, Obama is still continuing the wars.
