I couldn't agree more. Just personally, I started college in the fall of 1992--21 years ago now. In 1991 or 1992, my mom made less than $20,000, and she was getting ready to send two twin sons--of course I have my brother--off to Stanford University in northern California. You can imagine how daunting that was, but there is no way that my brother and I could have gone to college and graduated without student loans--without Perkins loans, without Stafford loans. It was the same thing for law school. So these are vital. I mean, that's just my own story. There are literally millions of stories like that across the country.
