How the government makes a profit on your student debt

Did you know that more than 43 million Americans have student debt of more than 1.3 trillion dollars. The rising costs of college education in the United States is a problem many students face. Besides that, it is getting more and more difficult to find a job after graduation.

What many students may not know is that federal student loan programs made more than 41.3 billion dollars profit in 2013. Many critics have said that this is probably one of the only places where the government should not be looking to make profits.

Tuition-free Community College or debt free public four year College, As liberals have proposed is a great idea but unfortunately there’s no way to pay for this. Attempting to make college free in the United States Will only push America further and further into debt. Cutting interest rates on federal student loans Is a viable solution as is refinancing student loans.

Enrollment into student loan forgiveness programs has risen all across the nation. The struggle to find out how to pay for college continues in all different directions. Some universities such as Purdue University allowing students to apply education funding in exchange for a percentage of their possible future earnings.

With the numerous options available to students to pay back their debt it is difficult to make a decision on which to choose. Some students have been paying their student debt for decades. It is vital to find a viable solution to the problem of student debt. One thing that is certain is that the government should not be making a profit off the problems of students pay their student loans.

AIRPORT TIPS

To make your way to a flight on time and to get through security as quickly as possible you can try the following tips:

1) Sign up. The TSA’s PreCheck, a trusted traveler program, has spread to more cities across the U.S. and is now available at some 40 airports. Members of the program are pre-screened and can then whiz through security, sometimes without having to take off their shoes or remove laptops from cases. The U.S. Customs Department’s Global Entry program is another shortcut for frequent international travelers, especially as the federal government contracts and customs lines potentially get longer.

Critical Security Checkpoints:
To make clearing security as easy as possible…
-Review the guidelines for liquids and gels on your Flight carriers Carry-On Baggage page before your flight.
-Have your government-issued photo identification and boarding pass ready for inspection.
-Wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off, since all footwear must be x-rayed.
-Remember to place all coats and jackets in a bin for x-ray screening.
-Make your laptop easily accessible for inspection.
-Avoid wearing anything metal or place these items in your carry-on baggage for screening

2) Check flight status. Although this is obvious, many people often fail to do this one simple but critical thing.

I recommend doing the same before abandoning your ride or your car just before you head to the terminal; flight status updates change by the minute, so a last-second check is always a good idea.

Most airlines will text you flight status updates if you sign up on their Web sites, and sites like Flightaware.com do the same by text, on the Web and through smartphone apps.

4) Check in online. Especially if you are not checking bags, this can save you a heap of time. I have found that when checking bags, having the pre-printed boarding pass in your hand doesn’t help all that much, and check-in agents often reissue another boarding pass when you check in your bags — but it sure doesn’t hurt.

5) Before you leave for the airport, put your ID, credit card and boarding pass (if applicable) in an easily accessible part of your wallet or bag. There are two reasons for this: one, by going through this exercise, you make sure that you don’t leave home without these crucial items. Two, you don’t waste your (and other people’s) time fumbling around for them at the moment you need them.

Check the airport parking situation online. Knowing ahead of time where to park, which lots are open and how far they are from the terminal can save you a lot of anxiety on your drive in, as well as keep you safer as you navigate tortuous and almost always poorly marked airport ring roads. Additionally, during peak travel periods, lots fill up quickly, so you will want an alternate parking plan.

When you are ready to board always take inventory of what you will need to do when you get to the front of the security line. Do a quick mental review of everything you are wearing that you will need to remove (such as shoes, jewelry, watch, jacket), and what you have inside your carry-on bag that might need to be taken out (liquids, electronics). When you get to the front of the line, blast through your mental inventory and make it happen. Done well, you can go from fully clad for winter weather, with laptops and iPads in your bag, to a T-shirt, pants and socks, and all your sensitive electronics in their own bins, in seconds.

Using these tips will get you through the airport, on your flight and towards your destination as quickly as possible.
