A Student Loan Proposal Democrats Should Support

...All university endowments over $1 billion in size should pay their fair share in taxes to pay off student loans. A 25 percent–per-year tax on these tax-subsidized behemoths can go towards helping deal with the student loan crisis.

Any student attending a college with an endowment of greater than $1 billion is ineligible for student loans or federal student grants or scholarships.

But not federally-funded loans.

What a ridiculous thing to say. Federally funded loans are defaulted on all the time, most notably Obama's buddies who defaulted on nearly 6 billion of 'green' energy loans. Federally backed home loans are defaulted on all the time.
