I wanted to alert readers to two articles in today's USA Today, both concerning consumer debt. This article is about the serious legal and practical difficulties faced by sub-prime mortgage borrowers who want to restructure their debt and avoid foreclosure. And this article concerns New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's on-going antitrust investigation into the student loan market. The investigation apparently focuses on unearthing exclusionary relationships between colleges and lenders.
