Depression is an illness. It affects people of every political persuasion. And it has nothing to do with not being able to "handle let alone recognize reality". It has everything to do with a chemical imbalance which prevents the afflicted from being able to experience pleasure in any form. It is not extreme sadness in itself; it is the inability to feel ANYTHING, to enjoy any aspect of life. Again, it has nothing to do with one's ideologies -- NOTHING. You only reveal your hopeless ignorance of the subject, by making the comment you made.
RIP, Mrs. Kennedy.

The real problem is that we are raising children to believe that higher education is some sort of entitlement, which it is not. Not everyone belongs in college. Our economy, even in good times, cannot support a massive student loan program which depends on the full employment of hoards of college graduates in well-paying jobs, in order to pay back the loans.
" . . . many current students have already exhausted their eligbility for some forms of financial aid because they are returning to college after previously earning a degree." Guess what -- an individual should only be able to get a student loan in order to pursue his/her first degree. If you want more degrees on top of that -- you need to finance that on your own, without help from any student loan program -- i.e., you need to work to earn the cost of more education. The taxpayer should not have to foot the bill for more than one degree.
