I've been following your work for ove...Hi Cryn,<br />I've been following your work for over a year now and really appreciate your work for us student loan debtors! I actually live in Montreal now and while I myself haven't been protesting in the streets, I do support the protestors and their creative means of protest (the latest has been to bang on pots and pans). I wanted to point out one inaccuracy in the Law 78 that was recently passed. it doesn't ban freedom of assembly. What it does it that it requires protestors to notify the authorities when and where a protest will take place, and if the protest is a march, the route planned.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405664149403589996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481083477379506990.post-14727310565993860072012-06-05T07:53:29.171-04:002012-06-05T07:53:29.171-04:00"The Dodd-Frank Act requires a formal report ..."The Dodd-Frank Act requires a formal report on the private student loan market. But the student loan problem cannot be understood without equally examining government student loans: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau needs absolutely to include government student loans in its report, which otherwise would be obviously partial and incomplete.<br /><br />“If these borrowers are so overleveraged that it carries throughout their entire adult life, this is a big problem,” a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau officer has pronounced. His bureau needs immediately to get busy making sure that the Department of Education is not saddling students with unpayable debt for life."<br /><br /><br />http://blog.american.com/2012/03/protecting-vulnerable-consumers-from-the-government-moneylender/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
