As you can see, the picture above shows a jar of vaseline. Don't worry, the government, Bush, McCain, Big Lenders, etc. will NOT be using this on college students (or aspiring college students). Read story below:

Dozens of the country's biggest lenders have stopped doling out student loans to struggling college kids because of the economic upheaval - leaving scores of would-be scholars combing the want ads this fall instead of hitting the books.

Many lending experts say panicked banks are still reeling from mortgage meltdowns and are leery about taking a chance with their dwindling liquidity.

More than 33 banks and lenders have completely shuttered or suspended their private loan programs in the past year, and more than 100 have stopped participating in all or parts of the federally guaranteed student-loan program, according to FinAid.org, a Web site that keeps track of the student-loan industry.

The scurrying ranks include former lending powerhouses such as MyRichUncle.com, Bank of America and Campus Door, which was backed by Lehman Brothers.

What a big f*ckin shame. It's bad enough the job market is barely set up for college grads. It's bad enough that these loan companies hound us for money. We're strugglin, but yet the government can overlook education and donate $700 billion to big companies with lazy azz CEOs, who take vacations as frequent as they change underwear. No bailout plan for 50+ futhamuckin kids crammed in a classroom with old azz books and unpassionate azz teachers. This is why China and other countries are gonna shake our azz because they contribute to education over there. I thought the kids were the future, but I guess not. I thought knowledge is power, but I guess not. This seems like a grand opportunity for Obama to win, because he constantly talks about a funding plan for college students. This makes no damn sense.
