“During an economic downturn when Americans are losing their jobs, their primary instinct is to seek higher education in order to make themselves more attractive to potential employers and better position themselves to receive a job, however how are Americans supposed to spend twenty seven thousand two hundred ninety three dollars per year for college when they have no savings or income to pay for it? The US government with the backing of the federal reserve in the same way they created the real estate bubble by providing mortgages to all Americans, regardless of whether or not they had any capacity to pay the loans back, has been using the exact same easy lending practices to create one of the largest bubbles in US history - the college bubble. College students borrowed one hundred and six billion dollars in total student loans for the 2009 - 2010 school year, up from ninety six billion in two 2008 – 2009, up from ninety four billion in 2007 – 2008. Eighty seven billion in 2006 – 2007 and eighty three billion in 2005 – 2006. Total student loan debt in the US currently stands at eight hundred and thirty billion dollars and now exceeds credit card debt."
