Just my 2 cents...
Oh, right, because if there's all those really needy people out there, all us UMC class kids at Marquette wouldn't be getting our nice little UNSUBSIDIZED loans. And isn't everybody taking a loan out to make an investment? AND furthermore, why would the gov't allow every student to take out a certain amount in loans regardless of family income if it was really such a problem.

Also, did anybody else pay the interest on their loans when they were in school? Since I have unsubsidized ones, and I'm sure I'm not the only GCer in this boat, I've been paying off the interest on them each year. It's only ~$15 a year for me and it's going to save me sooo much money later.
