Anybody who stands with the scum protesting Wall Street are too stupid to be taken seriously and would have happily stood with the nazis in 1930s Germany.
If you are going to stand with the protesters/flea baggers, better watch where you are standing. You may be standing in filth.
They are simply liberals, anti-constitutionalists, nothing more and deserve to be ignored and allowed to wallow in their own excrement.
The crime in student loans lies less with the bankers than with the college administrators. Between Pell Grants, similar state level grants, so called work study, and student loans the colleges have been able to raise tuition levels to places they could never have gone if college tuition were actually paid by the student/family and not by a third party, be it govt or bank. Two generations ago my college tuition at Fordham College was $1800 a year for tuition. Today it is 23,500.That is double the $11,000 the BLS says should be for that $1,800 in 1969. No college could get away with this gouge if the freight were paid by the consumer and the colleges have taken full advantage.
He’s right about Bernanke.

Lee Addler, if YOU get the protesters then you are warped and in need of psychiatric help.
Students were mislead when taking student loans? How? If they were too stupid to understand the concept of repaying a loan, they shouldn't have went to an expensive school in the first place. Community College would have been a great start.
You also claimed you have to pay for the care of your Mother? That is how life happens sometimes - family takes care of family.
What's that you say? Oh, I see. You want the 1% to pay for the care of YOUR dear old Mom.
Now I see why you get along with the moochers occupying Wall Street
Slacker. Whiner. Parasite.
Standing with the commies.
“It’s time to reset and start over.”
What’s that supposed to mean?
Other than that, I do not stand with the smelly, parasite, lowlife's who are currently infested the nation.
When the first ones on trial are Slick Willie Clinton, Bwany Frank, and Chris Dodd then I’ll look at the bankers but it was these a$$hats that started and promoted this collapse. The bankers may have wanted it but they couldn’t do anything without help from the top levels of the government.
I do agree that these students were sold radically overpriced, useless educations, except those expecting to work on collective farms, but the curricula was NOT determined by the bankers, and the option to refuse to lend was not granted by the Federal government, so who is the criminal and in conspiracy again?
It might be hard to put bankers in the cells filled to capacity with DemoRat politicians, Federal bureaucrats, and conniving students, never intending to pay.
I Stand With The Protesters
I don't think I can do that, in part because of the odor but also because of the risk of communicable disease.

The protesters are idiots, but that’s the headline writer, not the author. The author just says they are right about student loans. I think the article is pretty much on target. The Ivy League grifters are stealing our kids future to protect the the megabanks.
Mr. Adler is your typical, run of the mill, everyday liberal ass hat. His piece, augmented with his further comments to those who disagreed with him make that as plain as day. One of the comments on this tripe goes on to say that the REAL problem is that the USSC has judges on its panel like Thomas, Scalia, Roberts, et al.
Mr. Adler deserves no further attention, except to laugh at his circus clown economics review.
My apologies to circus clowns everywhere.
So it's OUR FAULT that some jughead with a master's degree in "minority women's studies" can't get a job or make enough money to pay off 10 years worth of student loans?
The colleges and universities aren't blameless in all of this!!! Bogus classes. Bogus "perfessors". Bogus diplomas. Bogus education. Go stand with the freeloading fleabaggers. You're one of them anyway.
I can’t stand wi the protesters. I have to work.
