Is it ever going to be a "bail out" for people who have federal student loans?

I was reading a few blogs and articles that Obama is trying to pass something on a possible federal student loan bail out. Is it even realistic that it could happen? Maybe I can see some of you guys views.
 
The fed can't afford to pay back its debt to foreign countries. What makes you think they give a damn about bailing people out from their student loans :rofl:

There already is a loan forgiveness program.

If you're a full-time government/municipal employee (school teacher, janitor, etc) or work for a non profit you only have to pay back on Federal student loans for 10 years. In most cases you end up only paying back a quarter to half of what you borrowed. If you qualify for income based payments, you're basically walking away from the loan after throwing pennies at it.


If you aren't a government employee you have to pay back for 25 years and still get to walk away from the loan after that no matter the remaining balance.

Just make minimum payments and wait. It could happen especially if you're in the loan forgiveness program.
