no interest rate competition I see. I wonder if the gov will charge different rates depending on your color, your political party

1) The federal government makes the loans.

Wow. You really do wonder why nobody came up with this idea before.


It is a stupid idea.

Yeah. Another great government takeover.

Why bother with private enterprise at all? I think these shithead stockholders making money on shares of McDonalds needs to be stopped. Government should run it.

Why should INVESTORS be making money on peoples' fast food?

Why should GREEDY INVESTORS be making money on books? Don't people need that for education? Let's have government take over the publishing business. They can do a better job than Simon & Schuster.

Why should GREEDY INVESTORS be making money on the sale of guns? Government should take over Remington.

Why should INVESTORS be making money on anything, really? Just let government do it.
