Greedy bastards. No regrets, now I have free healthcare, a home, and an amazingly happy life. Cantake the flag and stuff it. More will realize this and leave too. Country borrows trillions for nothing and expects me to pay it back, yeah right! hehehe I left the country for good after my 20k ballooned to 70k. Greedy bastards.

Reforms need to be made to the education system, on either sides of the equation. I myself am learning the hard way, I financed 4 of my 5 years at a private institution through private loans. Now I am paying back 50% of my paycheck to Sallie Mae monthly. it has definitely hindered my decisionmaking. Its a good thing I can still live at home with my rents, or else I would barely be treading water. Could not agree with you more on this one.
