The American college dream is turning into a nightmare. Graduates are unable to pay off debt , save for the future and strive for a comfortable living anymore. College graduation is a wonderful event in any student's life, except for the mountain of debt that US students will have to pay off.

Comment by Nikki on June 8, 2011 at 1:01am: That's the best way to do it, Greg. The elites have unfortunately set up the system for people to get in debt easily. It's a trap they've set for us. Fifty/sixty years ago most people only had one loan and that was for their mortgage.

Comment by Nikki on June 8, 2011 at 12:30am: Thanks, Greg.

Yep, it takes years to repay those loans. They would probably choose to marry someone else who would be contributing to building a life together rather than just paying off their college debt.

Comment by Nikki on June 8, 2011 at 12:15am: In College Conspiracy they mentioned that women who came out of college with around $100,000 in debt would be 'unmarriageable' - their word - because nobody would want to marry someone with all that debt.

Comment by Maria De Wind on June 8, 2011 at 12:11am: It has already exploded for way too many

Comment by Nikki on June 7, 2011 at 11:30pm: My daughter is graduating HS in a week! We sent College Conspiracy to her friends so hopefully they'll think about the value of the degrees they will soon be pursuing. I hope that part about being 'unmarriageable' due to being in debt sinks in.
