Which is why I pulled out of college after just 2 years.

It many cases it is just a scam to get federally backed student loans. The students do what they were supposed to do and graduate to find out that it was all a big lie. Now they are stuck with 30K in student loan debt, which of course they can't pay, so who pays, we do.

It is a simple matter to fix. Just say, any instutution that has a default rate of 50% or more on student loans will not be given any more Federally backed student loans. Why have neither the Republicans or democrats done this already...well?

Goldman Sachs is a huge player in the for profit industry. They are actually big time investors and owners in the largest for profit college Company. Whenever, you see corruption, there you will also find Goldman Sachs.

With Goldman's Foray Into Higher Education, A Predatory Pursuit Of Students And Revenues
the solution, get govt money out of education! stop the govt guaranteeing student debt and allowing the debts to stand after bankruptcy..

this goldman sachs thing is just another witch hunt. they don't make the rules, the people continually votes for rules which favor goldman sachs
