      The article reports on the U.S. college-student loan market as of November 11, 2011. Growth in this loan market is noted as about $1 trillion in outstanding student debt. An increase in the default rate is mentioned. The federal government's rationale for not guaranteeing student loans from private-sector financial institutions is also mentioned. The student loan market is noted as having similar characteristics as the mortgage bubble that preceded the housing market's collapse.
