The govt is causing rampant tuition inflation with this nonsense.

They were slimeball public officials.  Just correcting the partisan nonsense again.

333 and I were making references to homos.

Now if you want to play the partisan pervert game, I can do that as well.  The list for the Repubs will be longer than the Dems.  Want to go that route?

Otherwise you can try harder to follow suit in regards to the topic discussion of two other people instead of relying on "nonsense".

[shootfighter1]

Straw, refer to some of Peter Schiff's videos on this topic.
The net effect will be that banks will drop out of student loans.  It will be controlled by the government as this program is implimented.  Government has also decided to increase Pell grants to "disadvantaged students" and disproportionally distribute money to minority colleges.  So...again we have government allocating tax dollars in persuit of their idea of fairness.

McGreevy, Frank, etc., etc.  Better?  I've already had the discussion about which list is longer.  lol.  That is so stupid.  Don't be such a hack.

sounds like now is the time for all you unemployed people to seek work in the medical fields. lots of possibilities!

You attempted to have a discussion about which list is longer.  If you call running in circles while posting "I am not taking time to look it up to support my claim"... type of posts to be a discussion.  The list now, as it was then, clearly has more Repubs as sexual perverts than the other party.

Last I checked, Frank wasn't in any sexual scandal and had to leave office over it.  Try harder.

I've read both links and both are merely the opinion of right wing think tanks (Cato Institute and the American Enterprise Institute).   

While I agree that availabilty of credit can create an asset bubble (or inflation)  it's a chicken and egg argument (IMO) with regards to student loans for higher education.  How about considering that higher demand (more people want a college education, more demand from overseas students) , higher expenses (think health insurance for one),  can also result in higher costs and with higher costs comes larger portfolios of student loans.

I think it's in the best interest of the country to have a highly educated populace and even from a purely monetary point of view the more education you have the more likely you will have a higher paying job and pay more taxes. 

Personally, I think Repubs really would prefer that people be less educated and that's the real reason they are aga
inst student loan programs.

There have been a few recent studies that show a direct correlation with less education and voting Republican?

We all know that Republicans put party before country so they would have an incentive to want a less educated population.

Right, because the Dems dont do the same thing.      

That being said, in my mind, it is simply not healthy for young people to be carrying such huge debt loads in their early 20's like we are doing now.

what "same thing" ?

which party do you think just reformed student loans (hit you can tell by who's happy about and who thinks its another sign of armageddon)

which party do you think Claiborne Pell belonged to?

If you think either party puts the nation and taxpayers first you are truly delusional.

I guess that is why we keep fighting over the same two horrible choices. 

You think one is slightly better than the other and I feel the same way.  However, att he end of the day we still get insanity. 

BTW - you did not comment on the Ron Paul thread to where he is tiesd with Obama. 

Would you vote for Ron Paul?
