GOP's Secret $90 Billion Gift to Wall Street by raising cost of student loans

[Bfgrn]

Like we're spending less for Fannie and Freddie right? If you don't count all the losses, government mortgages are a great business!

Exactlly. It's a brand new GSE like Freddie and Fannie. Except this time the taxpayers will get creamed for a subprime student loan program.

We are already getting creamed by the GSE Sallie Mae student loans. They were giving student loans to bums with a pulse. Who cares if they didn't pay the government was backing them 100%. This is why education cost went through the roof just like housing. Now we have colleges full of liberal arts professors demanding more entitlements.

No, it is the "privatization" mantra we keep hearing from the GOP, consider this: The government created and funded Sallie Mae to help students get these government loans, and then privatized it. The result was a taxpayer-created and financed company that bought itself three private jets, paid bloated executive salaries, and threw government money at Washington pols (including a quarter of a million dollars for George W. Bush's inauguration).

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid have lifestyles that make that look pretty silly.

I don't owe you a college education.

Get it?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Tuition is the cost that is out of control, either in public or private schools. This doesn't even address that.

There is no guarantee taxpayers, or students will spend less.

And government will limit choices by telling you certain schools don't qualify.

Everything is one big fucking entitlement with you people.

Well, if lowering the taxpayer's cost of school loans by eliminating waste and eliminating a 'middle man' is STILL entitlement, then the only 'solution' is to end school loans. We Americans don't need to compete in the world market. We are America.

The entitlement being ELIMINATED in the Education Reconciliation Act is the government subsidy to banks.

You right wingers have NO problem when THAT form of 'entitlement'

The government has eliminate all of the middlemen in the residential mortgage market, they control 100% of the business today.

How's that working for us, in your learned estimation?

How did Brunelleschi build the Duomo? Take a guess?!

Come on!

What did it HAVE to be?

Right! Government funded student loans!

SLAVE labor you fucking ignorant MORON.

No Jackass!

NO!

You can't be any wronger!

You're out in Rdean territory!

I get it. It is the mantra of the new right. The folks that are 'self-made' and self-reliant'; the social Darwinist. These are people who believe giving swimming lessons means throwing human beings in the river, the one's that make it to shore pass the course.

What always puzzled me, these folks that are 'self-made' and self-reliant', HOW did they get to where the ARE...all by themselves?

There is all kinds of banter today about 'fascism', 'communism' and 'totalitarianism', but they are all the same, and they all share ONE and only one required trait; devaluation and debasement of other human beings. From there, any and all atrocities are possible.

I DO get it.

No, you don't get it. You get nothing... you immerse yourself in a sense of self-righteousness, whereby you espouse policies that create need and dependency all the while declaring yourself better than everybody else.

You get nothing...

OK Frank, you can stop you empty rants. NOW, tell us HOW to educate the children in America.

 

[Revere]

Get a fucking life.

Tortalitarianism is government completely controlling financing of higher education then telling you which schools you can attend.

Languishing in college on someone else's nickel is not a "human right."

Apparently, the Peoples Republic of China is another great believe in State funded and State run education.

"Education in the People's Republic of China is a state-run system of public education run by the Ministry of Education. All citizens must attend school for at least nine years. The government provides primary education for six years, starting at age six or seven, followed by six years of secondary education for ages 12 to 18."

SO, you got to where you are all by yourself...

Go ahead and call me self-righteousness. It is the only comeback a morally bankrupt narcissist can say to defend his self absorbed ego.

What I never hear from any of you right wingers is one ounce of caring or concern about other people. WHAT do you base your patriotism on, buildings, monuments, flags? Because it sure doesn't include AmericANS.

Ideally, because the damage is so pervasive, you'd have to wipe out all civilization and start all over, so a 100 mile wide asteroid would be the best thing to happen to American education, but here goes...

First, eliminate the US Department of Education and any and all federal standards with respect to education.

Second, eliminate any state barriers to establishments of schools. Allows trade unions, technology companies, investment banks to start and charter their own schools.

Well, that's plenty good for a start actually.

Education needs to be as broad based, diverse and bottom up as humanly possible, we're 180 degrees removed from that today

No, you are a self-righteous, preachy bore. I got where I am by decent parents and drive. You know nothing of me and the fact that you would post such drivel, make such outlandish assumptions of someone you know nothing of is proof that you are exactly what I say you are.
