First, the government takes over student loans via Sallie Mae. Then, it threatens to double the rates. Remember, it was Obama's party that was in power and put this into place. Now he uses it as a scare tactic, via Fluke, to demonize Republicans, who control only one house of Congress. But, when Rush points out that this appears to be a coordinated effort to scare students into voting for Obama, he is evil incarnate? I suppose that makes sense to libs, given that they are logic deprived.

Here's something to consider. Libs have been pushing for years to get everybody to go to college. It has to be affordable. Of course, if you can delay everyone's entry into the workforce for 4 or more years, unemployment looks better than it really is. Since there is huge demand for college education because the government has deemed that it must be "affordable," tuition rates rise at a rate 9 times inflation. Those colleges and universities might say they're not for profit but their endowment funds rival the profits at large banks. The government kindly steps up to loan "those in need" the money for this necessary education, which is, after all A RIGHT! So, while they're holding you out of the workforce, the government is loaning you money at interest. And you graduate, or not (your choice) and you owe a pile of money. By the time you pay that off, you're ready to retire and go on Social Security. So the middle and lower classes spend their entire lives working to pay off government loans, either after college or in advance of retirement. In return for the government's largesse, that same middle class will be forever a supplicant instead of an independent voter. They will have security in terms of whatever the government is willing to give them, they will never be able to build equity and real security because between paying off government loans, taxes, and FICA, they will perpetually be living paycheck to paycheck - except for those 99 week stretches when any meager savings they've been able to accumulate will be depleted to make up the difference between a real paycheck and whatever unemployment benefits they can beg for.

How, exactly, is this better than being a serf in the middle ages, except that we have indoor plumbing and the internet?

sobek: Does he believe what he says, or is he secretly the Howard W. Campbell for women?

I think it depends on how high he is that day. Rush seems to have periods of lucidity and he's almost reasonable. then other days he's manic and focused on one particular theme, then he'll switch off into a weird almost incoherent rant about something completely unconnected to his previously established theme.

I really do think Limbaugh is back on the drugs. he's just too inconsistent to be sober.

Your logic is so convoluted it hurts. Maybe if people would stop seeing Illuminati conspiracies and New World Order bullshiat in anything and everything, this country would stop being so damned retarded.

How about Republicans and Democrats both stop being idiots long enough to save this country before it completely self-destructs, instead of hastening it by using everything as weapons to demonize each other?

kbotc: mark12A: Tell me again why I'm supposed to help subsidize other people's promiscuity....

I am not a particular fan of subsidizing birth control, but you'll subsidize the BC so you don't have to subsidize the abortion ($$$) or the kid ($$$$$$$$). College students really can't afford any of it with the other ridiculous crap you end up having to pay for. Yes, yes, responsibility for preventing pregnancy should be on the student, but that's a whole different can of worms.

Also, uncle sam is guaranteeing the student loans, so if the female student decides to just call it all a wash, declare bankruptcy and live off the dole with the kid for the rest of her life, that's up to $80k out of your pocket just for the student loans that are now valueless to society.


Actually, you're quite wrong about the student loans. Uncle Sam guarantees the repayment of the loan, for sure. But the student is required to pay the loan back, either to the US Govt or to the bank. One can't discharge the outstanding loan by declaring bankruptcy. There is nothing a person can do to avoid paying back a student loan, short of death (and here, I'm assuming that the balance is not foisted on some relative).

I was wise to pay my student loans off quickly by overpaying by an extra $30 to $50 per month on each loan. Finished in under 10 years instead of the planned 15 - 20 years.

Little.Alex: Mixolydian Master: So Rush is cool with the Federal loans increasing drastically and benefiting the government? I thought Repubs were all low taxes, rates and interest. Get the government out of my bank and wallet mentality. I don't understand these farkmooks at all


I suspect there are many things you don't understand.

Why is Government in the business of student loans in the first place? It's a bad idea, and they're farking up higher education.

Look at all the retards in Occupy; I remember loads of them protesting their student loans, like the dumbass who borrowed $30,000 to get a degree in puppetry.

That's what educated people, who we call Republicans, mean when they say the Federal Student Loan Program is distorting markets. It causes people to make decisions they would never make with their own money. If Mr. Puppet Major were doing summer construction work and waiting tables to get that scratch, I bet he would have spent it more wisely. Even if he picked a stupid major; he wouldn't have that debt on his back.

And the Feds endlessly pumping cash into colleges has caused industry specific inflation - so every time they increase funding tuition goes up. All that is accomplished is that the kid graduates with a bigger debt burden. Look at what a great job they did pumping money into housing.

And of course; Universities have been lowering standards to get in on all that cash. So kids get less education, a watered down degree, and a mountain of debt. It's a disaster.


So farking what? Nobody has any right to say "Thats a stupid career path, you can't have any money for it."

NIXON YOU DOLT!!!!!: kbotc: (University is a great place to make connections with people who can help you advance in the world, your local community college? Not so much.)

That used to be true back in, oh, the 1920s. Now, outside of Harvard and Yale (And even that is fading) it really doesn't mean jack shiat. Membership and activity in relevant professional organizations, seminars, and so on is where the real networking is done these days. No one gives a shiat where your piece of paper is from, it's just the price of admission.


True enough. That college name on that sheepskin has value for the nine to eighteen months after receiving it. If, by the end of that time, you haven't done your networking and collaborating, it's basically worthless. Worse yet, if the name is more prestigious, but your post-graduate work didn't take advantage of it, it becomes more of a boat anchor than a value. It now says, "hey, I went to a big name school, [Harvard|Yale|...], and I've done nothing with it."

Yes, they have every right to say that. Why should a bank loan you money, if you are setting yourself up to be unable to repay it? Or, given the socialist model so popular on FARK, why should the government give money to people to pursue an education that is little more than a hobby and a 4 year party?

Mavent: But seriously folks, why is it that Republicans are so universally illiterate? It's literally like they're required to have lobotomies before they're allowed into the party. We have a guy in this very thread whining about "teleprompters" who isn't capable of correctly capitalizing or punctuating a single declarative sentence.

No, it's not a grammar troll. It's a simple question. Why is it that people who can't spell "I" correctly feel like maybe they're accomplishing something by repeating the word "teleprompter" over and over again, as if it's some sort of magical incantation? My guess is that on some level, they know how retarded it makes them look, and therefore believe that it grants them immunity from rational rebuttal. Or maybe it's just the only retort they can come up with after eight years of George W. Bush, a guy who couldn't even string six words together without claiming that America was at war with America. I guess the thought-process goes something like this: "Sure, Republicans are gibbering morons, but Obama, despite being eloquent and intelligent, uses a piece of equipment that every other President has also used!"

shiat. shiat. The fact that people that stupid are allowed to vote and breed makes me want to punch the whole world in the trachea.

2012-04-24 09:03:18 PM
Man, you people sure hate it when people like Rush are right. He is spot on when he says the White House is trying to scare students about their interest rates on their student loans. Obama's re-election campaign looks like it's going to be all about scaring people about what the Republicans are supposedly going to do to everyone. Student loans no on can afford, banning contraception, children starving to death, pregnant women dying in the streets, taking away abortion rights, elderly losing Medicare, black kids getting shot on every street corner, poisoned food, children dying of mercury poisoning, poor people will be on their own, the skies will be so polluted that children won't be able to breathe, and on and on. 2008 got Obama elected on "Hope And Change", but 2012 sure looks like it's going to be all about scaring the fark out of everybody. "Vote for me, or you all will be fakred!". And the ignorant fakrs out there will EAT IT UP, without doing one bit of research to see if any of it is true . Which is exactly what Obama is counting on, since lack of research by the voting populace is what got him elected in 2008, as well as a majority of all the other politicians in the past couple of decades.

Bring the torches and pitchforks...I don't give a flying fakr anymore.

Hey Libs: open your minds for 1 minute, and ask yourselves this:

Q: Why are students being threatened with interest rate increases in the first place?

A: Because the loan came from Big Government.

If they had borrowed from a private bank, that bank would have no exceptional power over them. If they wanted to increase the rate, you could wave your contract in their face and assert your rights. "I agreed to this rate, and I won't pay more." And the law would be on your side, and you would know every detail of the agreement.

Instead, Ostupid and the Dems, demanded a Federal take over of this business. So now, you are powerless. You have no ability to negotiate a rate or a settlement if you went bankrupt. They promised you something for nothing, and you end up a serf.

education.fee.org

Same with Social Security, which should be privatised. Same with ObamaCare. Same with 80% of what the Government does. They offer you something for nothing, and you end up a supplicant in what was once a country of free men.

Little.Alex:
Q: Why are students being threatened with interest rate increases in the first place?
A: Because the loan came from Big Government.
If they had borrowed from a private bank, that bank would have no exceptional power over them. If they wanted to increase the rate, you could wave your contract in their face and assert your rights. "I agreed to this rate, and I won't pay more." And the law would be on your side, and you would know every detail of the agreement.
Instead, Ostupid and the Dems, demanded a Federal take over of this business. So now, you are powerless. You have no ability to negotiate a rate or a settlement if you went bankrupt. They promised you something for nothing, and you end up a serf.
Same with Social Security, which should be privatised. Same with ObamaCare. Same with 80% of what the Government does. They offer you something for nothing, and you end up a supplicant in what was once a country of free men.


It's a good thing Social Security was not privatized when the private banks (that students actually do get their loans from!) had to be bailed out or simply folded.
Also "ObamaCare" is a private insurance plan. AHA is basically regulations on the same old system. While it's true a public option was discussed, what happened was "fix old - no new". Remember that slogan? That's what we got. The people who got ignored by Obamcare are the actual lefties. They wanted a contemporary world or "single payer" system. But that was decided against in the Democratic Primaries. The Democrats chose a pragmatist (Obama) rather than the Universal Healthcare nominee (Clinton).
/Seriously, where have you been this whole time to have such basic misunderstandings?

Little.Alex: HellRaisingHoosier: meat0918: Let me get this straight.

...

You see, Republicans don't have to worry about lower-income folks because the Democrats already do.


You see, Republican don't have to worry about keeping down the poor, because the Democrats already do.


The Democrats, during FDR's time help make the greatest wealth creation and the birth of the middle class. Clinton's 8 years also help bring up a semblance of a middle class as well. All other periods with R's running the country, we've seen only stagnant growth for the poor and middle class, but brilliant growth for the rich.

So, explain your claim.

ProfessorOhki: Weaver95: Little.Alex: If they had borrowed from a private bank, that bank would have no exceptional power over them. .

would this be the same couple of private banks that WOULD have gone under without a public bailout? THOSE banks?

hmm.

Yeah, alright, but those banks only failed because they were over-regulated. If they'd been able to inflate the bubble even further, there would have been no consequences for anyone!


I don't understand our GOP shills. its like they forget that our banking system is barely holding it together. sure, we're slightly more stable now than we were under Bush but not by much. I don't understand the almost sexual fetish some of our local shills have for private banks. these are the very same banks that walked blindly (and quite irresponsibly) into the housing bubble and would have imploded if not for a very massive and controversial public bailout.

And if we vote for the Republican side, we'll have women and homosexuals stripped of their rights, Christianity forced into everything, and education will completely collapse.


Citation, please. Exactly how is any of that going to happen? More of those scare tactics. Libs have a million of them.


Excuse him - he's young and impressionable, and really think the GOP will do those things, instead of just wasting time and taxpayer money pretending to try to do them.

In what respect, Perez?
