Shades of "Gm is a bank that makes cars."

The marketing/sharking of loans is obscene.

While reading the article in the NYT magazine, I asked my French friend what tuition costs were in France...

"200 - 600 Euros per year," he replied.

Re: Student Loans

Boomers are driving this country into the ground. When it’s their company that issues crappy loans, makes stupid decisions or the value of their stock portfolio may drop if the institution fails they want the bail out, now that their kids are subject to crappy loans for crappy degrees they want their kids bailed out. Screw the person who actually labors to create the wealth they leach off of, it is all theirs.

Wait for it, the student loan bailout is coming to be followed shortly by another onslaught of reminders that programs employees contribute to, like pensions, unemployment, social security and Medicare, are nothing more than entitlements ruining this country.

Don’t get me wrong I understand why we need to make college more affordable and accessible while driving down labor costs. Obviously nothing would happen, productivity would cease, if it weren’t for all of us who learned the intricacies of Greek life and information regurgitation in our late teens and early twenties.
