C.W. Hamilton took out a $5,250 college student loan in 1977. After more than 40 years of payments and bouts of default, Hamilton still owes almost as much as he first borrowed.
There are nearly 47,000 people like Hamilton who have been in repayment on their federal student loans for at least 40 years, according to data obtained from the Education Department through a Freedom of Information Act request.
No off ramp from perpetual cycle of debt!

Republicans in Iowa and Minnesota want to roll back child labor laws because business don't want to pay higher wages and benefits. Iowa - allow kids 14-15 yrs old to work certain jobs in freezers and meat coolers. Minnesota - 16 &17 year olds should be allowed to work construction. Everyone knows it will be those kids who are poor and destitute slaving away in these dangerous jobs. School education - Bye!
