Commenter: KImberlyMy husband and I attended college after our children were born. As we had married and had children young, we relied heavily on federal loans to pay for our education. If all had gone well we would have had a relatively easy time paying them back. Unfortunately all did not go well. Before we graduated my grandpa developed Alzheimer’s disease. I stayed home so that I could help my grandma care for him. We were determined to keep him out of a nursing home, and for that to be possible my grandma needed someone with her full time. There was no other family in the state. With only my husband’s income, we could not afford the payments on our student loans. Neither did we qualify for a hardship deferrment. Sallie Mae uses the poverty level for a family of two to determine hardship, and we were a family of five. We tried to explain the situation to the lender, but they rudely told us that our family situation was not their concern. They even suggested that I ask my grandma for some of her Social Security to help with the payments. In the end we were forced to forbear our loans, and allow the interest to grow. After my grandpa died my grandma moved in with us. She had developed colon cancer. I continued to stay home to care for her full time. We couldn’t afford even a part time nurse. Now my husband was supporting six people. Again, Sallie Mae informed us that they would not consider family size or illness in determining payments, and that we would just have to continue the forbearance. This, of course, is highly advantagous to the lender. We were having a difficult time making it from month to month without the student loans. There were months when our electricity alone was $800/month due to the constantly running machines used in my grandma’s care. Her cancer had spread, and her care had become incredibly expensive. We were forced to continue our forbearance. While I am very grateful that we could care for both of my grandparents, and that they were both able to be at home when they passed away, our student loan payments are now over $1000 every month. We have not been able to save for our childrens’ future, afford medical care, or save for our retirement. I was diagnosed with systemic lupus last year, and still not been able to see a doctor to begin treatment. We rarely spend money on nonessentials. There is no money to spend. All because we choose to take care of our family- something I would think the American government would not only encourage, but facilitate. Doesn’t it embody "American values"? Instead we have been heavily penalized for it. I contacted legislators about our situation, and received letters claiming that difficulting in repaying student loans is caused by people spending too heavily- as if our situation was created by a lavish lifestyle. All in all, everyone involved has been unbelievably heartless, despite all of their campaign rhetoric. It makes little sense for the government to squeeze the very people that could make up the middle class of America in such a way, but I suppose it helps the lobbying companies that donate to their campaigns.

During our visit, we saw a number of challenging parts being produced in the shop, including an aerospace component for landing gear that starts out as a 13-inch block of raw aluminum (see Figure 2). By stamping 0.1-mm-deep serrations just 3 mm off the edge of the block with a Lang Makro-Grip stamping unit—a device that Mr. Holmes and Mr. DiMarino first discovered at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in 2014—the Lang five-axis vice can hold the part in a way that enables roughing to take place on five sides of the part with no additional fixturing. A 35-pound metal block cantilevered at 90 degrees and fixed at one end with just 3 mm of grip looks like an impossible thing (see Figure 3). Yet this positioning enables roughing to take place on nearly 98 percent of the part, which distorts only microscopically during the process. After the roughing operation has ended, holes are drilled into the part that enable it to be held in place for finished machining on the five axis..

Commenter: Ryan FeebackI went to 4 yrs of private college, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Religion, and 2 more years of private grad school at an Ivy League University to receive my Masters of Science in Social Work. I do not come from a family that could afford to contribute to my post graduate education, and could only somewhat contribute to my undergrad education. I still worked all through the school years and spent my summers working in factories. I graduated with my Masters and $90,000 worth of student loan debt, $73,000 of which was attributable to two years of a graduate Ivy League education to become a social worker. I was forced to consolidate my Federal Stafford, etc loans due to inability to make basic payments, thus locking myself in to 30 yrs worth of payments for 2 yrs of education. I’m doing my best to pay down the private student loans I had to take out without consolidating, but I currently pay about $600/mnth JUST in student loans, and I’m making MINIMUM payments on the consolidated loans. I’m finding myself having to change my entire plans for life, putting off having children, unable to invest in retirement, and still fortunate to have a steady job with decent benefits. I firmly believe that my generation (I’m 26 yrs old) has been sold out by the baby boomers to subsidize the college administration and faculties that they’ve bloated since the 60′s.

Building a house by hand can be both time-consuming and costly — so some homebuilders are now automating part of the construction process.

There’s another group who have a little college, maybe a degree, who are willin’ to work and learn from the more experienced cowboys. If they don’t get shot or run off by the crew they eventually gain a position of responsibility.

“Our biggest objective is to be as efficient as possible in our manufacturing processes and other areas of the company. Even continuous improvement processes don’t make a fabricator entirely unique. The tools of lean manufacturing and other continuous improvement methods are widely published and available to any company willing to make the investment. But if you don’t make use of them you do it at your own peril.”
