The Issue of Student Debt


   In this article by the NTDaily, Mitt Romney discusses the issue of student debt and his opinion on how things would be dealt with if he is voted President.  Although this article does illustrate Romney's thoughts on the subject, it is more beneficial in the fact that it is an incredible eye-opener—it really highlights the harsh reality of paying for higher education.
   Since I will be attending college next year, it has been a huge wake-up call to find out the truth about paying for college. In addition, it brings to light that fact that after graduation, a college degree does not necessarily guarantee a job in this every-changing economy. I agree with Romney on most things, and this subject is definitely one of them. I don't believe it's the government's priority to pay for its citizens college debt. With all the resources and scholarships out there, it's sounds almost lazy to blame the government for college debt. 
   To summarize, it's a good read for those heading off to college, and a good way to get acquainted with Romney's views on the government's roll in student debt.
