THE Debt Bubble: Seniors AGE 65 & Over ARE Being Crushed BY Student Debt-their Children's & Their OWN!

Our FEATURE today dissects the total student debt of $1.5 trillion into segments that the public has little knowledge but should have major concern. That is SENIOR student debt. A front page feature in this weekend's WSJ indicates that seniors age 65 and over have accumulated $86 billion in student debt averaging $33,800/ loan. A large percentage of the debt is in guarantees for their children on Parent Plus Loans. What most citizens don't realize is that these loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy and the Federal Government has a practice of garnishing social security payments to pay the loans leaving many seniors destitute. When the next recession hits the US the DEBT BUBBLE will burst causing massive deflation and default in the US.
