I have looked into it.....the Government may be giving a slightly lower interest rate than the banks gave, but it sounds like Hillary! is jumping on the 'Bernie Free College' bandwagon, even thought at other times she has said that college cannot be 'free'. I vaguely remember thinking they wanted the student loan program inside the Government so they could forgive any outstanding monies if the student went into Government work. But to damn the Government for profiting off students, when it was Obama that moved the Loan program into the Government, is total hypocrisy.

Yes he did. He first took CAIR of terror list. Then took student loans over. and took over Census Office.

Yes. (And the legality of that dictatorial fiat?)

[capydick]

If I remember correctly / he took it over from the banks and the interest that was earned from the students was calculated in the faux costs of Obamacare

Clinton established the Federal Student Loan Program, which drove up tuition costs for those of us attending university in the 90s.

They take student loan money for Obamacare. According to this (from 2013) the interest rate would go from 6.8 to 5.3 without Obamacare steeling from it http://thehill.com/opinion/columnists/dick-morris/302247-loans-subsidize-obamacare

It’s one of the things they did so the entire bill passed the CBO and Obama’s promise on cost.

I had a similar thought.

Hitlery was complaining about the poor snowflakes being taken advantage of. But who sets the interest rates and writes the loans? No longer the banks.

Then she went on about forgiving the loans after a certain number of years. Why? Do I get the same consideration on my car loan or mortgage?
