The Student Loan Rap! Video
http://www.nma.tv
Do you have student loan debt? Join the club! By some accounts, there is now $1 trillion in student loan debt outstanding. Wow! With all that money spent on higher education, Americans must be the smartest workforce in the world!
But funny enough, graduates are having a hard time paying back all the debt. What gives?
The grand bargain used to be that higher education was a guarantee of higher wages upon graduation. Yet students are finding that's not the case anymore. They've taken on more debt than their meager incomes can support.
Thankfully, President Barack Obama has come to the rescue with several relief measures! Want to find out how you can benefit from these measures? Listen to our Student Loan rap! Everything you need to know is explained in one little tune.

LYRICS:
C'mon Barack, help us even up the score
We can't keep on payin' our students loans no more
We got caught up in the student debt bubble
Now we can't wait for some help to bail us out of trouble
I got this fancy piece of paper called a college degree
200 G at Sarah Lawrence is what it cost me
Majored in women's studies and anthropology
applied to work at Google, but those nerds rejected me
I thought I had it made because I got all As
Now I'm in Starbucks slinging Venti Lattes
I've got no money in my pockets and I just don't understand
How come real life doesn't come with a meal plan?
Help me, Barack!
Barack Obama:
I'm sorry you got burned as you learned
We'll help you out, let you pay as you earn
Let's cap you loan payments at ten percent
of the discretionary monthly income you can spend
Consolidate your debt, there no reason to frown,
I'm gonna snap my fingers, now watch your payment go down
I met this cashed-up chick called Sallie Mae
She gave me some loans 'cos I had tuition to pay
Majored in philosophy got my liberal arts degree
Now I can't even declare bankruptcy
Sallie's on my ass, I've got no money to spend,
my debt is growing fast at an interest of six percent
I can't get a job, and it's too late for regrets
Man, I'm never gonna pay off my debts
Help me, Barack
Barack Obama:
Do the best you can, son, to muddle through
Pay the minimum that you can do
But in the long run have no fears
We'll forgive your debt after 20 years
Paying what you owe can be such a strain
Let Uncle Sam take care of some of your pain
All Students:C'mon Barack, help us even up the score
We can't keep on payin' our students loans no more
C'mon Barack, help us even up the score
We can't keep on payin' our students loans no more
Business student:
Those liberal art fools only have themselves to thank
but I studied business shouldn't I be making bank?
Yeah sure I don't have any skills and I probably never will
still, I should be able to be able to pay my bills
I live with my parents I don't know how,
Shit, I thought I'd be a VP by now
I believe the children are the future, that's what I learned from Whitney
So please my Stafford Loans and let me go free
Help me, Barack
Barack Obama
I've got a bright idea for you young man,
Why don't you join our payment plan?
For the lucky few that qualify
We'll pay for three years no strings applied
For young entrepreneurs who are hard-up
We pay your student loans while you start your start-up
Barack Obama:
I'm the POTUS, B to the H to the O
Do an end run around congress, watch me go
Think I'm a long shot for the 2012 race?
Well, at least I know how to take care of my base.
George bailed out the banks I'll bail the grads
then I'll bail out the homeowners in their underwater pads
Put some money in your pockets, get the economy in gear
We're coming up on an election year
All Students: C'mon Barack, help us even up the score
We can't keep on payin' our students loans no more
All Students:C'mon Barack, help us even up the score
We can't keep on payin' our students loans no more
Getting loans with ...
Getting loans with extreme, if any at all, interest rates?
Then it's your own damn fault for such oversight.?
Keynesians have ...
Keynesians have ruined the world economy through fractional reserve banking and central banking, which has created debt-based money. The natural result of this is that the whole world is in debt to whom? To the Federal Reserve bankers at the top of the pyramid.
.
We need money that isn't based on? debt, but that's not going to happen until the people are allowed to make their own money. Repeal legal tender laws, and the people will create their own money! Ron Paul 2012!

lol this is the story of all the stupid people who? go to college for the "experience" and get a degree for sumthing stupid like the arts.

Great job? NMA, as always!! You have some really creative people on your staff.
As for student loans though, the reality is that a lot of people that are in college should not be in college. They are there because they want to enjoy the "college lifestyle", and choose an easy liberal arts major with no corresponding job that their degree will be useful for. Only once they graduate do they finally realize the mistake they have made, especially if they paid for college with student loans.
Just cause you gots ...
Just cause you gots a degree in woman's studies or AM history does not mean anyone will pay you to recite it.? Better get a commercial truck drivers license or hair cutting degree.
200.000 for a ...
200.000 for a women's studies degree? What? a steal.

didn't you people ...
didn't you people have any second thoughts about taking on? a 5 or 6 figure debt? You're not even 30 for f**ks sake. No, you probably just went ahead with getting a degree because that's what you've been told. You did this to yourselves.
I like how they are ...
I like how they are taking money from my Montgomery GI bill over the long term but are giving people that signed into paying these loans money because they couldn't read the paper and know what they are signing into. Welfare much??
I hope we? won't ...
I hope we? won't ever have to listen to a Michelle Bachmann rap, although it'd be hilarious.
This fix isn't to ...
This fix isn't to relieve the loans in the end, they government needs to stop giving monetary aid in the front end. The more they give money to help people go to school the more the? schools raise their tuitions because they can get the money from the government. It's the governments fault in the beginning and then they expect the rest of us to pay for the student loans in the end. It's double dipping out of my pockets and I am sick of it. The federal goverment needs to stay out of education.
