If you want universities to be both honest about their product and serve their clientele (who by default have no money) then they should issue & back the loans themselves. If their product is worth the price they are demanding, they will easily recover their money over the next 10-20 years. If not, then that is one less bad university ripping off ignorant kids.

Remember, Obamacare took government-backed student loans and turned them in to loans direct from the government so the interest paid will fund the healthcare costs. I don’t have a problem with guaranteed loans, but the rules MUST be changed. For example, did you know you have up to 30 years to pay it back? Longer if there is “hardship” (which is pretty much defined as anything you tell them). If you die, the loan disappears. How about, you pay it back in the time you took the loan out – if you went to college for 4 years, you get 4 years to pay it back. If you went to college for 8 years, you get 8 years to pay it back. Loans shouldn’t go directly to schools, loans go to the student, who then has to shop around for the best school deal thereby increasing competition among schools. Loans should not qualify for “certificates” that should have been taught in high school – thereby pressuring high schools to go back to teaching shop, mechanics, etc., like they used to teach so kids who don’t want to go to college can actually get a job once they graduate. There are ways to fix this. Unfortunately, Washington DC doesn’t WANT to fix this.

This is just all part of the ‘creating’ chaos’ strategy.

We need to STOP ALL student loans and those that are more than 8 yrs in default should be put in jail!!! NO ONE who owes a student loan should qualify for a mortgage loan, a car loan or any other type of loan til they meet their responsibility to ME and other taxpayers. TANSTAAFL and they need to learn that, obviously not taught in college or even at home

Well wait a minute the one thing you are not telling us is the supposed educated are making up these subsidize and creating this monstrosity? So they paid this much money to expand this much stupid? I am thinking the bottom just fell out of education right here.

I have a hard time that to become more knowledgeable we have to spend enormous amounts of money, so money is knowledge? Really? And especially to strap our young people down with all this debt so that they will be desperate to take some Government Job and act like this?

My question is what does the Constitution have to do with it? Since in this country we have not had a Constitutional Government for sometime and all Governments are Corporate Governments and corporate is all about the money and has nothing to do with Liberty at all. Has nothing to do with we the people and is a layered structure of dumb shits calling themselves educated but cannot produce a Republic, cannot uphold a Constitution, have no clue what they ever became independent from in the very first place and are entirely ignorant about what life actually is.
And do not take my word for it look at the results of this nation; huge amounts of debt, a huge drop in productivity and creation, enormous controls on Public lands and over communities, false flags and enormous wars to help facilitate vast amounts of debt. A Corporate Government versus a constitutional Government by the people in Republics every where. So where are the results that show we are an educated people because these clearly show we are everything but educated and we are indebted to boot.

It may be better stated as Disastrous education practices that cost enormous amounts of debt for no good reason at all. Maybe reviewing results would educate us far more than the so called intelligent in this country because the results do verify this fact.
