They make more money off people whom pay late than off people whom pay on time. This is why CC companies are often all over college campus giving away CC's to college kids that can barely afford to eat ramin noodles.

Not to mention ask your parent if they went to college where they got their loan from. I can almost bet 100% that it was from the govt and not some private industry loan shark as kids deal with today.

The entire corporate America is geared at one thing at that's sucking as much money out of people pockets as they can with little regard to this country or the economy. It's not just people that lost the pride in Made in America it's also the corporate mongols whom forgot that they once also had that same pride in helping build & shape this country.

It's not just the middle class that is fucked but also everyone else because with out the middle class these companies will have no customers.
