    Default Which bubble pops next?

    Thought I'd share this and ask for other ideas/thoughts and inputs.

    If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Post the IFT!!!

    Interesting article Frixx. I'd have thought that American car companies would have been on that list...The US still doesn't have a good enough hybrid alternative. All the best.

    Yeah buddy. No jobs = no payments. Weak low paying jobs = no payment too.

So right now to lower payments College Grads would Consolidate because they have 4 years of credit and the Fed lowered rates but they won't allow it.

    This could be contested in the Courts because when All College Students aplied for Private Loans they (Sallie Mae) posted you could consolidate after proof of graduation so from what I see it is Internet Fraud, Mail Fraud etc. the average College Student could have say 100G in Loans at 13.50% under the rules before they locked Students out in May 2008 they could get that rate down to as low as 7.50%. The breech of contract would be part Sallie Mae for false and misleading information as a lender. The used Bank of America and Citizens Bank in the past.

    Student loan bubble already popped last year. Several friends were forced to drop out because of it. One was in Vet School in St. Johns. Now working as a med tech in Nevada.
