I wonder why they don't make the deal five years instead of 10. there must be a bases for 10 years as opposed to five. To me five years would make sense. Considering if one was ever allowed to do chapter 13 on loan and chapter 13 requires 5 years. Why not make it 5 years at full standard payment. that would be essentially the same amount of money as doing 10 years under the ibr plan and would match up with chapter 13 yet DOE could set the amount instead of bankruptcy.court. this repayment plan seems set up to fail.

In other words, she didn't put off until tomorrow what she could do today. But yes, I agree. If there were more people running the big banks who could provide quick, direct answers to programmatic questions, we might not be in the middle of the storm that we currently find ourselves in.

If CEOs were more ethical in there practices and made ethics integral in the banking process, then there wouldn't have been an overblown economic bubble to begin with.
