Send Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) a Message: You Are Woefully Out Of Touch!

November 15, 2009 by Robert Applebaum

Pro-banking, anti-student Senator Bob Bennett of Utah authored an op-ed for his hometown paper, criticizing the Obama administration's plan to overhaul the nation's student lending industry by shifting to a direct loan structure. 
 
Sen. Bennett is clearly on the side of big business and the banking industry, at the expense of student borrowers.  Check out his bio, contact information and, most tellingly, his campaign's donors here:

Letter to a Skeptical Friend

November 11, 2009 by Robert Applebaum

A friend of mine and I were recently emailing one another and, not surprisingly, we were discussing the topic of student loan forgiveness.  Needless to say, he's a bit of a skeptic.  While he did raise some valid concerns about some of the assumptions I've made about human behavior in order for this proposal to work as predicted, I did my level best to justify and explain why I believe this approach was not only viable, but equitable as well.
