Still no demand from the commie liberals for “comprehensive tuition reform” though, huh?

increased financial pressure on families struggling with their children’s mounting debt

Well sure, if you consider adults with a college degree to be "children" then the above statement makes perfect sense.

Why did the federal government unconstitutionally takeover student loans for higher education?

To build another plank in their platform of entitlement paid for by the producers (ironically, mostly by poor stupid lottery players).

Atlas needs to hurry up and shrug. The Bengay is probably costing him a fortune. Oh wait, now Atlas is helping the takers’ agenda to make their profit.

And more than 90 percent of student loans are federally guaranteed.


And the federal government has the money to replay these loans???

It’s just as bankrupt as the people who are going to bail on these loans.

Big oil, big tobacco, big pharmaceutical.

Why doesn't the GOP ask "Why is Big Tuition out to hurt the American youth?" over and over and give the left a taste of their own medicine?

If you are wealthy or have a large trust fund, feel free to take Liberal Arts courses. If not, major in the sciences.

This story helps to explain why the cost of higher education has gone through the roof.

The government doesn't sell student loan debts. The only collection agencies that collect on this paper are collecting for the government. The government may, at their discretion, garnish salary and Social Security checks of those who are in default. The government writes off most loans once a borrower becomes permanently disabled or dies.

The government does very little to pursue lawyers. I have been told by lawyers that they are taught in law school that if they are successful (self employed) they will never have to pay off their loans. The government will put a lien on assets of someone who owns a home and owes $10K before they'll do anything to pursue a lawyer with a $100k debt. The reason is that a lawyer will take the government to court and spend money trying to avoid paying. A homeowner with a $10K loan can't afford to fight. It's an easy win

I collected on student loans for 8.5 years.

I am damn glad that my student loans were circa 1968 and were repaid in 10 years. It was well worth it for me, but not so much for young kids today. College costs have exploded during the last couple of decades.

I heard on the radio this morning that the NCAA expects to rake in $11B - yes Billion - dollars on the upcoming NCCA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

As a parent struggling to help 2 students through college, that seems obscene to me. Just heard it on the news, so haven’t researched where that money might end up, but have a feeling not much of it will go toward scholarships..
