I paid off my Student Loans in 2004 that were acquired between 1984 and 1995 finally. At one point, the amount totaled almost what my annual salary was back then.

Will I and other WORKERS be given back anything?

#8 But come on, guys and gals...using the "HEROES Act"? These whiny, snot-nosed kids are "heroes"?
