Education Equals Money Commentary

      Fernanda states in "Education Equals Money" the struggles and unfairness the student loans is put upon the college student. She makes a very convincing argument and because of it I am 100% on her side. I am also a student who is struggling to pay for my education, to the point where I have nothing left in my wallet after my monthly payment. The fact that many can relate to this issue helps gain an audience who will agree with every word in the editorial.
      
      To hear that the government profits of the loans of students is enraging and leaves a bad taste in the people's mouth. It feels like we're getting punished for wanting an education by getting us involved in a vicious cycle of expensive tuition and high interest loan rates. Fernanda's arguments is right on cue about all the issues involved in this. She talks about the 6.8% interest rates, how the government receives 63 cents for each students taking a student loan, the debt that takes decades to relieve oneself from, and how on top of it all, we the students, seem to be the only group to not benefit from the situation. The argument is filled with a lot of emotion which actually helps the argument that the student suffers from student loans. The fact that many in today's society are affected by debt, especially because of student loans, will prove the point that student loan interest rates are a huge issue. An issue that desperately needs to be fixed for the future of the country.
