Today's NPR report had a bit on college debt. Basically there are protesters who think that their college debt is to much and they can't pay it back so they want some solution for that. Do they think they should be relieved of that debit because they can't find a job with their history degree that will pay back all their debit? Do they think the gobberment should pay it off for them? These people are getting wackier by the day....

It may be hard to pin down exactly what the Occupy Wall Street protesters want, [noshit] but one of the sources of their frustration seems clear. Many of the demonstrators are drowning in student debt.
Rose Swidden came to Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan from upstate New York, where she is studying agriculture at SUNY Cobleskill. She expects to graduate in May with USD 35,000 in debt, and doesn`t know how she will pay it back.
"We did what we were told to do: go to college, get an education, you`ll get a job, you`ll get a house, you`ll be cool," she said. "And that`s what we did. And now here we are done with it-and now what?" [idiot]
One proposed list of demands for the Occupy Wall Street movement includes "free college tuition" and "immediate across the board forgiveness" of student debt. While neither demand may be very realistic, the student debt problem is very real.

These quotes alone show the complete and utter stupidity of these fools. Winter can't come soon enough.
