	Ed,

	 this is not just politics. This is your daily life. You have
to realize that you are being burdened by this much amount, which is
going up every second. The original Indian poor graduate who comes
here with some debt, is getting some more debt to his/her account. So
We are talking about our own life being effected here. So the question
is is it still worth to study/work/live here with this burden. If yes
upto what number ($$s). Do you still think USA is going in the +ve
direction with all this debt. Or is it trying to show positve growth
by borrowing some more?

	Samit, 

	This is not futile discussion. This is effecting our
day-to-day life as I explained above. This is a much better discussion
than the ones we are having right now -:). No offences. But for sure
this atleast not worse that other discussion that we are now!
