The Gov gets the $$'s at 0% and lends it out to the students at 8%. There is the spread that was a $103 billion industry. One of many Links : cnsnews.com So the POTUS demonizes the evil banks and claims there should not be any profit on the backs of poor students trying to get an education but its just fine for Uncle Sam to continue on the Hugo Chavez privatization plan. I understand your point re the free market failures. My point is these types of failures are part of the free market and should be allowed to fail. I am not you guys as you put it... Just me. The current mess is a result of the government intervention in a free market. It is no longer free as the free applies to both failure and success. No offense intended re this country. I had a thought while taking my grandkids out to see Alice in 3d. Great pic by the way. How about we start a negotiation right here on this thread.
