I went to college on the GOVERNMENT ADMINISTERED National Defense Student Loan Program (NDSL), as did most of my family and friends. We also received College WORK-Study grants (and we did work).

I know of no one, zip, nada, who did not repay their loan. Some repaid when the repayment was held up as they served in Vietnam -- they repaid with their lives or parts of their bodies and minds.

Having nieces and nephews who have dealt with the current system, I find it gouging, uncaring, and irresponsible.

Of course, back in the early Sixties there was a great value placed on education that I find sorely absent today.
