The feds finally figured out that their flowing spigot of student loans and aid are causing a rise in college tuition costs.
This is what we mean about the left being clueless about the fundamentals of economics. If the government guarantees that a student’s bill will be covered, deferred until after they graduate, the demand becomes high. There is an endless stream of customers as students pursue their dream of getting a masters in Inuit Haiku.
Colleges can charge whatever they want if student after student after student are mindlessly signing the dotted line.
(ALERT: Matrix Moment) What if I told you that the government is doing this on purpose? What if they’re purposely creating a crisis where students are unable to pay their bills so that everyone screams louder for single payer higher education?
It’s a coin toss.
Either the government is really stupid, or they are really evil. Which do you think it is?
“Inuit Haiku”……Fur, you’re priceless!
Government, a necessary evil but in this case it’s not necessary and I sincerely hope it tanks if anything to get rid of the dead weight.
Well, since the media has told us our president is THE SMARTEST GUY EVAH! (TM), I guess I have to vote…EVIL!
Oh yeah, the gubmint is both stupid and evil. No choice there. lol.
Btw, I can’t stand it when you’re taking courses in a particular study, and then being forced to take a class or two that has absolutely nothing to do with what you’re studying. Other wise no completion of the semester, right? Assholes.
Oh, and re: Bill Bennett… If I were a dude, I’d tell him to suck my dick. He’s hell-bent for common core.
I’ve been in the “Women’s studies program” for more the 45 years and I STILL can’t get a degree….
Well, the Saudi jihadis can still afford tuition and books, so I wonder if it wasn’t planned this way in order to advance the caliphate.
Damn near every college now has a moslem student union. Even in Arkansas.
Oh, yes. This is totally a plan to push “free education for all”.
Question. Where in the Constitution is the Federal Government charged with offering student loans, housing loans or loans of any type?
It burns me that our tax dollars are being used for giving out unsecured loans to unqualified persons.
Another issue I hope our next Conservative administration will take on.
But I’m not holding my breath…..
I watched Yuri Benzemov’s interview here the other night (for the hundredth time…)

It’s all part of the de-moralization process.
Trick the youth into what they think is easy-to-pay-for “education” that is really indoctrination being taught by marxists. They’re actually paying for their own brainwashing!
@jclady:
Follow-on question: Where in the Constitution are the feddles permitted to have anything whatsoever to do with “education?” I’ve read Article 1, Section 8 again and again and I can’t find anything.
Amen, MJA. “Stupid” and “evil” are not mutually exclusive. Conclusive evidence: Francisco Sanchez.
There is no doubt in my mind, REALLY EVIL!
Evil.
Our government is used to calibrate the evil meter to full scale.
The elite behind the scenes develop the strategies and call the shots. They are evil and definitely not stupid. Most people in government are stupid and evil. In fact if you are taking money from the government you are stupid/and or evil.
@Uncle Al — we can thank Jimmy for this monstrosity. Once again, a federal agency formed by a rogue president with no congressional oversight. One of the last things he did on his way out.
How do you know Stan. Do you know JP, Wunda Wunda, Brake Man Bill, Captain Puget . Zero docka smoocha crocka halla balooza bub .
Evil. Hell bent to extinguish republicans or more acutely, conservatism.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
More of the Cloward-Piven strategy in effect.
Most people don’t expect the unexpected. The left doesn’t expect the expected. It’s like a Monty Python skit turned on it’s head:
Leftist expert: “I didn’t expect the expected!”
E.V.I.L. Bred in the pits of Hell. Gleefully engaged in by the soulless.
For grads that do get a decent paying job, the college loan interest rates are just another tax to be paid by the ‘special people’ who have real jobs.
Let it not be forgotten that the college loan were taken over by the federal grubermint as part of OCare. So when lots of college loans don’t get paid off, anyone want to guess the cost to taxpayers won’t be included as part of the OCare fiscal debacle?
