No one forced students or parents to take out student loans. If a student or parent can't payback a loan, they should file for bankruptcy and/or sue the school if the school made promises to the student/parent saying their degree will provide a well paying job.
The government putting its hands in my pocket to pay for someone else's loan is criminal!
What the government can and should do is get out of the student loan business ENTIRELY and relegate that job to private lending institutions. Additionally, the government should make it very easy for a parent or student to declare bankruptcy so that both the lending institution and the school eats the loss. When the lending institution and school understands it's on the hook, they will make more prudent decisions as to who gets a student loan.
Gee, where did I say any of that.
It IS possible to look at a situation objectively to identify a cause and effect WITHOUT expressing a political opinion.
Actually, that is how MOST sane people think. Not on FR, though. How someone excretes feces is seen as political event.
The lack of thinking around here lately is incredible.
