Dear Messrs. Bernanke & Paulson

I, too, will need loan forgiveness for my foolhardy investments. Higher education, feh! If the Fed & Treasury Dept can spare $700 billion for all that sub-prime mortgage disaster, then surely they can show me a little love.

From Letters to the NY Times Editor

To the Editor:

Dear Mr. Bernanke and Mr. Paulson:

My student loans are too big and it is hurting the economy. Can I have a bailout, please? I need $92,000.

Thanks.
