Student debt. Thanx (with an x), Republicans. [View all]

I was fortunate. I paid for my two oldest children's college educations and both of them chose to attend public universities when they were still relatively cheap (1999-2007). I was able to pay off their debt fairly quickly. My ex-wife sent my youngest to an expensive private college, but he was able to get a well-paying job at Microsoft several months after graduation and paid off his loan fairly quickly as well. I look at college costs today and shake my head.
