College students are drowning in debt, and keeping student loan rates low won't be enough to save them.<\/p>

Letzte Woche dr\u00e4ngte Pr\u00e4sident Obama den Kongress, die Zinss\u00e4tze f\u00fcr staatlich gef\u00f6rderte Studienkredite nicht zu verdoppeln. Wenn Repr\u00e4sentantenhaus und Senat nicht bis zum 1. Juli einschreiten, werden die Zinss\u00e4tze f\u00fcr Studienkredite von 3,4 Prozent auf 6,8 Prozent steigen, was f\u00fcr jeden College-Studenten eine durchschnittliche zus\u00e4tzliche Verschuldung von 141.000 TP1 bedeutet.<\/p>

President Obama is right, but he's only telling half the story. A 6.4 percent rate is pretty bad, but it doesn't compare to the 28 Prozent Zinsen<\/a><\/strong> that some private student loan companies force students to pay. And while $1,000 is a lot of money, it's only a drop in the bucket for the durchschnittlicher Student, der \u00fcber $35.000 Kredite schuldet<\/a><\/strong><\/a>. For thousands of students and recent graduates, things are bad in a way that a lower subsidized loan interest rate isn't going to fix.<\/p>

That's because young people owing money is big business to lending giants like Sallie Mae, which started out as a government agency but was privatized into a for-profit corporation. Thanks to Sallie Mae's predatory practices, Caltech grad Alan Collinge owes over $100,000 on the $38,000 loan he needed to graduate. And he's not alone\" there are thousands like him, and Dutzende davon in jedem Staat<\/a> teilen ihre Geschichten.<\/p>

Unternehmen wie Sallie Mae nutzen das Geld, das sie von College-Studenten bekommen, um sich in Washington Einfluss zu erkaufen. \u00dcber ihre politischen Aktionskomitees spendeten sie bei der letzten Wahl \u00fcber 14250.000 TP2 und seit 1989 allein an den Sprecher des Repr\u00e4sentantenhauses, John Boehner, \u00fcber 120.000 TP2. Im Gegenzug gew\u00e4hrte der Kongress Sallie Mae finanzielle Rettungspakete, laxe Regulierung und wenig Aufsicht. Angesichts der vielen im Umlauf befindlichen Wahlkampfgelder hat der Kongress wenig Interesse daran, die Belastung der Studenten durch \u00f6ffentliche oder private Kredite zu verringern.<\/p>

But people are catching on to Sallie's agenda. Last month, Common Cause and our coalition partners led a major demonstration at Sallie Mae's headquarters in Delaware, demanding disclosure of their lobbying expenses and an end to their predatory practices. We're working in Washington and at the local level to make education a source of endless inspiration for students, not a source of bottomless debt.<\/p>

At his press conference, President Obama urged Americans to call their representatives and demand they keep interest rates low. It's a good idea\" but while you're on the line, remind your congressperson that he or she works for you, not for corporations.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nStudent Debt and Corporate Greed - Common
