The people who might be struck by debt, they might have trouble recovering. Debt can cause Americans to lose their homes and stability they need to feed, and shelter their families. Although debt comes upon us Americans quickly, people can see debt as terrible thing to be stuck with. It has many disadvantages that can devastate to people.

Manitoba Hydro is Manitoba’s major energy utility provider, serving 561,869 electric customers and 274,817 natural gas customers throughout the province (2). Manitoba Hydro provides services that run from exporting electricity worldwide, to providing customers with tips on how to save money on their electricity bills.

Environmental protection was seen with their large-scale capital projects such as environmental protection and monitoring programs, climate change initiatives, energy efficiency initiatives, and environmental research and development (2). Manitoba Hydro became a crown corporation in 1961 through the Manitoba Hydro Act; the utility was governed by the Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board (17). Manitoba Hydro controlled the gas and electric consumptions within Manitoba except Winnipeg Hydro. In 2002, an acquisition occurred meaning that Manitoba Hydro now owns Winnipeg Hydro. Today Manitoba Hydro is a major energy utility providing the lowest electricity rates in Canada.

“The United States has created a new generation of people that have more student loan debt than at any other time in our history” (Murphey). A vast majority of students are graduating with debt. On average, students are carrying loan amounts big enough to buy a nice car or cover the down payment on a house, but instead of making those investments, or starting a family or a business, they’re struggling to keep up with student loan payments (O’Malley). Student loan debt is a major problem. Student loan debt exceeded credit card debt in 2010, auto loans in 2011, and it passed the $1 trillion mark in 2012.
Many Americans today are aware that the United States is in debt, however, some may not realize by how much. Currently, the United States National Debt is up to 18 trillion dollars and is steadily increasing. This is a serious problem for the U.S., especially for millennials, who are going to be the ones living and dealing with the debt left behind for them. Increased spending, borrowing from China, and interest on the money borrowed are setting up our economy for an eventual crash, one that the upcoming generation may not be prepared for. Every dollar that accumulates into the debt will have to be repaid with interest at some point, making it harder to pay back. To gain a better understanding of how the U.S. dug itself into such a deep hole, one should start at the beginning of where the debt started.
Student debt is become a huge problem in today’s world. It has been popping up more and more in presidential debates, protests, and the news and media. Currently the amount of student debt is over 1.2 trillion dollars. According to financial experts, the student debt loan bubble will eventually burst, causing more trouble then the housing bubble in 2008. It is evident that student debt loans are a big problem, but then comes the problem of who should pay? Recently, people think they know how should pay, the government. This does not sound like a bad idea at first, the government pays for our college debt and we get to start our careers. Thou, this sounds like a
On the Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, there is a national debt clock that shows the amount of United States national debt. The clock was first installed in 1989, and can show up to ten trillion dollars. It ran out of digits in October 2008 when the sum of debt exceeded the amount. A new clock with two extra digits is going to be installed (Izzo 2 ).
Student loan debt is widely accepted as normal, and many even call it “good debt”, but I completely disagree. Student loans may sound like an award, but it’s really just an opportunity for you to be swallowed up by debt. Taking a student loan will not only take years to pay back, but you will also have to pay interest on it, which will make you waste an incredible amount of your hard earned money. Also, it will make you base all your decisions on tackling your student loan debt that is constantly growing, effectively wiping out several opportunities you could have taken if you didn’t have all that debt holding you back and controlling all of your decisions.
In the year 2007, 18.2 million students enrolled into college. About thirty-nine percent of those students were between the ages of eighteen to twenty-four (Marcus). College is seen as something one must do to be able to have a successful life or career. Student debt is almost guaranteed for anyone that goes into college. Seventy percent of bachelor's degree recipients graduate with student debt. Student loans in just the U.S. alone are up to 1.2 trillion dollars, this is the second highest level of consumer debt, just trailing behind mortgages (Snyder). Student debt has been an issue for anyone thinking about going into, that is attending, and graduating or leaving college. How to solve this issue is very simple, which is to save money, lower
If you listen to the news, you might hear about an economic recovery. But if you listen to your neighbors, you are probably hearing a different story.
College is where students continue their education in order to get their dream jobs and better future. College tuition fee is increasing each year, and some students cannot afford to pay for it which most of the students put themselves in debt as a result. Many college students are living on their own and they have no other choices but to taking out loans to pay for their tuition. Student debt has its negative effect on the U.S economy. Because of the rising cost of tuition, some of college grads cannot even find a job and more college graduates have to move back to their parents’ house.
As most students do, I had to take out student loans for my college degree. Now the question is that when I graduate, do I refinance my loans? Many other students have had the same question, as some students have to pay as high as 7.9 percent interest on their loans. Now, there are a number of politicians that are discussing the student loan crisis, but there are also financial institutions that are joining the discuss.

65.7% of college students have to get student loans to pay for college, and the average student loan debt is $19,237 for a graduating senior in the United States according to the National Post Secondary Student Aid Study. This is no surprise considering that the rate of tuition increases 7% per year, and in some of the more prestigious colleges, students will have to pay well into six figures just to get their education. Even in-state rates for South Dakota, which is comparatively very cheap to practically everything else, students are still paying $40,000 for their education when one factors in dorm living and a meal plan. Most students will need to borrow some money on a student loan to get through school, but how does one know if they're
