You are up in arms over 4 deaths? What about the thousands dead from the Bush Administration…Read More incompetence prior to 9/11?
Not to defend Obama who should be impeached on numerous other Constitutional trespasses on this one you need to give it a rest! Anyone who takes a job in a world hot spot assumes the risk when they go there. Diplomats and their security know the deal going into it.

William, please share this and inform others. The Tsarnaevs 'worshiped' at the Islamic Society of…Read More Boston Cultural Center (Mosque), which is tight with the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, according to a Chicago Tribune investigation. Tamerlan was in Russia for 6 months last year, and visited relatives in Chechnya, where radical Muslim violence is frequently hatched. Four of the 9/11 hijackers were on their way to Chechnya before Bin Laden got hold of them. "A YouTube page created by someone named Tamerlan Tsarnaev in August 2012 — and who adopted the user name Muazseyfullah, or “Muaz sword of God” — suggests the user had begun dabbling in radical Islamism."... "Other videos, labeled “terrorism,” appear to have been deleted."...

Nor any other type of loan. But the truth is that the lenders are the ones with the financial…Read More savvy, and consumers are conditioned to believe that if they qualify for credit the bank has determined that they will be able to pay it back. The problem with student loans is that they are given to people who could never otherwise qualify because the government guarantees them. Are those consumers naive or badly informed? Probably, but the statute books of the federal government and all fifty states are planted thick with laws to protect borrowers who lack sophistication.
The student loan bubble is no different than the housing bubble. Give people loans for which they are not really qualified so they can buy something they want and you flood the market with cash. In response, the prices of things people want to pay for with their loans (diplomas and houses) skyrocket, the sellers knowing that Uncle Sam will keep pumping more cash into the system. The housing bubble burst and when there are enough people unable to carry the non-dischargable debt they took on to pay $40,000/year tuition the student loan bubble will also burst.
Since we taxpayers will be picking up the pieces I am not willing to just say "nobody forced you" and leave it at that.

Maybe they should not have deferred and chose to overpay the outstanding debt on the student loans.…Read More Looks like they make a pretty good buck between them, maybe 150k a year. Tell them to look in a lower price range, maybe they need to work up to the dream home. I did, and so did a lot of the rest of us who paid off their student loans and didn't put it off.
