    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Is that for real?

    I find it hard to believe that those number all increase at the same time and frequency, which leads me to believe its a bogus website.

    As I understand it, the numbers are calculated as a formula based on time, last calculated value, and rate of increase, so the numbers are only estimates - potentially off by a few percent.

    Which really doesn't matter because the exact actual numbers are still mind bogglingly large.

    No need to make it political - and pure folly to go there and only blame one party. Both the major parties have made the mess we're in now.
