The true cost of the bank bailout
September 3, 2010

“But it turns out that that $700 billion is just a small part of a much larger pool of money that has gone into propping up our nation’s financial system. And most of that taxpayer money hasn’t had much public scrutiny at all.

According to a team at Bloomberg News, at one point last year the U.S. had lent, spent or guaranteed as much as $12.8 trillion to rescue the economy. The Bloomberg reporters have been following that money. Alison Stewart spoke with one, Bob Ivry, to talk about the true cost to the taxpayer of the Wall Street bailout.”

What about all of the people who altered their education plans to avoid college debts? If someone took the loans, they knew the rules. If there were no loans, we would return to sanity. That would be very inexpensive state colleges and universities, but only for the most qualified students.

Why do you think it's okay for these students who took the loans to steal from the US taxpayer instead of meeting their financial obligations?

You are missing the point: If the government is going to continue to use the colleges to indoctrinate and subsidize their ‘class’ then NO WAY are my tax dollars going to subsidize it.

Put the debt ‘on hold’, stop penalties & interest perhaps, but NO FORGIVENESS! PERIOD.

There are consequences for lousy choices. The direct analogy to this is paying a misbehaving child their allowance and/or giving them candy. I don’t care how old the ‘child’ is now...they can take responsibility for their school and, by consequence in most cases, their ‘voting’ choices.

This is not a political matter; it’s an ethical one.
