Student Loans

Why is the government grabbing education loans, bypassing the banks and causing jobs to be lost? Didn't they say they wanted to create jobs?

If it is worth jeopardizing jobs, putting education loans in the hands of government must be really important. Why? What will be the results of this move?

First, of course, students will have one source and one source only for school funds. No second choice, no shopping around - one place only. A number of questions come to mind. Are your parents in good standing with the government? Are you in a proper demographic group? Will you be required to take certain political courses because you're using government loans? Does the government think the course you've plotted for your life is in their best interests? Will they care about your best interests? Do they deem you deserving of college or will you be routed to a different life plan, like it or not?

How about payback time? More questions. At payback time will your political stance be disregarded? Will some get a better deal than others depending upon party affiliation? Will they let you to pay it off and get out from under the weight of government or will they be a monkey on your back forever? Will they control your life since they invested in it, like they moved in to control wages and policies of businesses in which they invested?

Are they planning to take over individuals as well as banks and industry?

OofDah!

  2. Maybe someone can win the lottery and send all six grands to college - would the lottery be enough?
