<description>Good job Bush, spend more on war than you do on education. He is by far the worst president ever. He is driving our nation into another Great Depression.</description>

<description>Did you even read the article?  State loans are being suspended, because Granholm did such an amazing job with the Michigan economy.</description>

<description>This has nothing to do with Bush or Granholm.  The credit crisis came from the fact that banks loaned lots of money to people they shouldn&#8217;t have because those people couldn&#8217;t pay it back.  I guess you could blame Bush for not doing anything about predatory lending for his entire term, even though wise people were pleading with him to up regulation of the housing market.</description>

<description>It does not say here what the cause(s) was/were for this loan stoppage. We don&#8217;t know yet.

	But I think the commentator above has it right. This is a result of the sub prime mortgage crisis. Money just isn&#8217;t as easy to come by as it has been. I just hope this isn&#8217;t a harbinger of things to come on the Federal level.</description>

<description>This does affect MSU students.  I am a student at the MSU College of Law and I am not sure how I will pay for school now.  Thank you Granholm, thank you Bush, thank you MI Legislature, thank you to all the wonderful people running this country and this state into the ground.  I hate this place and I cannot WAIT to get my law degree and get the hell out of here.</description>
