Guccifer casts out Hillary

[kandrathe]

I wont jump into the debate with everyone else. I just want to point out one thing:

College Loans, due to the cost of college, are a scam. They are awful. They are a drain on society.

You should have the right to be educated, without becoming an indentured servant.

Well, rights are rights. Being educated has actually been mandated for k-12 for many years. Adding in four more years of liberal arts is probably not crucial for the national well being, and is probably a large waste of money. What might make more sense is to rethink k-12 into a k-10, then add a vocational 11-14 fours years that are Gen Ed if you are on a college track, or technical if you are moving into the trades.

The UNCHR Article 26;

• Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.
  
• Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
  
• Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

At this point, my wife and I are counting down the payments on her loan for her degree, until it will be wiped clean for being a social services worker.

There is just no other way it's possible to repay it, on that salary, while raising a family, and being... you know, happy.

For me? I like his plan. I look at other countries, where there is no cost to go to "State" Colleges / Universities. They make it work.

It would probably also burn you to know the government will earn $110 Billion from student loans over the next decade. So, that loan's interest rate hides what amounts to an education tax. The original intent of the Perkins and Stafford loan plans were to make them a zero sum for the government. That is, the interest rate would be enough to sustain the program. No profits.
