Furthermore, obama has long supported the idea that public "service", ie the bureacracy, is nobler than the greedy private, that would be the productive, sector.
In the example cited we have a lawyer w/ $200K worth of student debt that I'm now on the hook for. Once we erase his debt he'll drop the namby-pamby non-profit he's working for and start after the real money--class-actions against the companies we work for.
It's all too beautiful.
I think the plan was to raise the cost of so-called higher education to a level that hardly anyone could afford, nationalize student loan programs and then set up a system whereby graduates who go into the government or non-profits never pay more than 10% of their salary to repay their loans and have the rest forgiven after 10 years. That way the cost of education is irrelevant and students are pushed into taxpayer-funded jobs.
