that I paid
A BAD CYCLE easy loans drive up the cost of education, requiring more loans.
no government student loans to colleges which have large endowment funds.
not everyone should go to college, increase qualifications for 4 years schools.
“If you can crawl into a public library you can learn enough to be a nuclear physicist ... if you have the desire and drive ... “
Public libraries are almost void of that technical information.
“the Constitution does not permit the government to confiscate my money and lend it to someone else.”
I got eight National Defense Student Loans myself.
The Congress has the power to raise armies and fund a navy.
Armies and navies need weapons.
I was educated to build weapons, and other stuff, such as command & control communications systems.
You are recommending price controls. In short, price controls dont work, so .... no.
“Simply make the college co-sign for 50% of a student’s loan.”
And colleges might double their tuitions.
That works for me.
All that is needed is to remove Taxpayer Guarantee’s, and hold Education Institutions financially accountable for any defaulted loans for a degree in Advanced Under Water Basket Weaving, Lesbian Dance Theory and Asian Bi-Sexual Studies....
“I have been thinking about this and came up with this:
Let them wipe it out with bankruptcy, And the Government will pay 1/3 of the loss and the bank eats the rest.”
Time to rethink. The fed is the banker which means you are the banker and will have to eat the whole pie.
“You are recommending price controls. In short, price controls don’t work, so .... no.”
Most of the middle class own their own house. A mortgage can be obtained on it. Parents can establish college savings accounts.
Lower income folks can earn scholarship money.
Hundreds of thousands of people in New York City are quite happy with rent control and their apartments.
The renters in Stockholm are quite happy. Can you guess why?
“So we’d be back to only the rich going to college? Brilliant!!”
Ronald Reagan went to college, without getting any federal student loan money. I believe it was during the Great Depression.
We ate up the bailout of the bankers, that cost even more. This is going to affect our culture when an entire generation or two is in indentured slavery.

A whole generation waiting to get marred, buy a house, a car, etc. It will not be a good thing. And they really were hoodwinked.
I should also mention that not all of them will file bankruptcy.
I completed college, and I was/am by no means ‘rich’.
I just worked my a#@ off
I didn’t mean the books. I meant internet access. Many of the largest universities make recordings of their lectures available to the public.
“you are ignoring the aspect of ‘why does it cost so much?’”
Miss Middle Class overpays so Miss Other Side of the Tracks pays much less, or nothing at all.
You write like a lawyer. And by that, you include lawyer on a peer basis with med students.
By the time med students graduate now—and work through their residency, the boomers will be dead and the whole system will be changing again.
Colleges are going to fail, based on nothing else than demographics. There is no reason to make college more attractive to anyone. There is no need for the government to subsidize anyone’s education.
Everyone seems to be afraid to say, “let the market work.”
