You can't force the colleges to assume debt they never signed on for in the first place.

Colleges who sell worthless degrees should get no more protection than used car dealers who sell lemons.

The loan and the product are not related, There is no requirement for any kind of loan either when attending a college or buying a big ticket item.

If someone takes out a loan, it is between the lender and the consumer. If the consumer buys something worthless, too bad, so sad, your contract to repay your loan is a sperate deal.

Dear Vigilanteman,

There are many parties here to share the blame: the colleges that foist the loans on students, the federal government for encouraging the system, the politicians who voted for this, the parents who blithely allowed their children - and themselves - to get wrapped up in obscene debt, and the students, themselves, who are all supposed to be smart enough and mature enough to go to college, after all.

You demonize one party, but this isn't a case of bad guys (colleges) and innocent victims (students and parents). For those who were doing the borrowing, what part of the word “loan” did they not understand?

In any event, even if all that you said were totally true, and other parties shared no blame, that is hardly any excuse to try to foist unconstitutional solutions onto unwilling parties, violating important principles of contract law along the way.

That's democrap behavior.
