let’s make this easy, shall we?

You owe on your student loan, either you pay something, monthly, or you are ineligible to hold any public office, any government job or any university or other teaching position until you get with the program and start paying.

I couldn’t afford to send my daughter to some fancy university, dorm life included, and I’ll be damned if I’m paying for some rich kid who overborrowed easy funds to blow off his loan onto my, and my daughter’s, back.

it is criminal the way some colleges and universities have indiscriminately allowed students to rack up these enormous loans. There seems to be no control, no restrictions in place. Their greed for more students, more money is an abomination to the profession of education. I understand the Pell grants for low income students was probably best managed. I helped some deserving kids from low income families apply for Pell grants back in the 70’s and 80’s. They all graduated from junior college and or state universities and are living productive lives. They are all still gainfully employed except for one killed in Iraq.

I happened to look at one of my alma mater website, I was stunned (my beeber buzzed ) at what a year cost now.

Debt creation is THE moral hazard in America.

Students have learned to create debt, to later on become leaders in Business and Government to create more debt.

Faint now in the distant background, are the words of Paul Harvey:

“IF YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL. And now you know the rest of the story.”
