Re: "It is beginning to look as though this recession may be one of the most shallow in history." Not so fast. From this weekend's Wall Street Journal: * * * * * * * * * Despite Friday's strong rally and more hints of economic recovery, at least one prominent economist worries that a double-dip scenario is not out of the question. "That's quite possible in equityland," says Stephen Roach, chief economist at Morgan Stanley, who puts the odds of a double-dip, or W-shaped, recovery at 60%. "The market's concluded that recovery's a done deal. If that gets challenged, there'll be a sharp selloff." * * * * * * * * *

Re: "I would imagine that the Federal Government still guarentees loans and offers grants." For those who haven't put a kid through college in recent years, the numbers will shock you. I speak from experience. I'm currently on the 6th year of nine straight years of paying college tuition, dorm fees, etc. The bottom line is: If you're middle class, forget about any help from Uncle Sam (or the school). College is a breeze if your parents are indigent or worked for Enron in upper management.
