Ignore the fact that you were suckered into a “higher education system” beset with fraud, misrepresentation and lies.
Ignore the fact that your government sponsored slave masters sold you into debt slavery while at the same time selling the jobs you should count on to pay the debt offshore.
Ignore the fact that higher education costs have increased nearly 700%….(The bulk of the increase goes to the banks and finance vipers.)
Ignore the fact that these corporate interests have gutted the American middle class in precisely the same way they have not gutted and sliced the rising student class.
Ignore the fact that we are all responsible for $1 trillion in student loan debt.
What we will not all be able to ignore for long is that when our nation’s youth realize they’ve been sold into slavery, they wake up will be profound….
I find it utterly disappointing and disturbing that America’s middle aged victims lay down silently and continue taking the whippings of Wall Street and their elected leaders…perhaps America’s children will show their compliant and lazy parents what they should have been doing years ago……
Here’s what your elected leader had to say…..
“I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there’s no reason for that,” Foxx continued. “We live in an opportunity society and people are forgetting that. I remind folks all the time that the Declaration of Independence says ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ You don’t sit on your butt and have it dumped in your lap.”
HUFFINGTON POST
There wasn’t any intent of the US Governement in 1965 to create this system of involuntary slavery from which (1) there is no disability dismissal, and/or (2) if dismissed, the IRS has colection rights and will execute the same liens to recover the loan amount. Far from the ideals of education, most Ph.D.’s serving in higher education know that there’s no supervisory role over their institutions (other than private, e.g., privatized and paid to credit, and there’s no union in Higher Education. The facts in 1965 show that student loans were attached to relief from the Korean failures which granted education but the quality was indescent. The ideal of higher education is perpetuated by misuse of the DOE, which is essentially for secondary education and provides that role. It’s not for Higher Education. Only in a collection scam, beginning with Sallie Mae in 1982, did this worm turn. It’s substantially grown to a monster institution which is out of control. It should be controlled. However, until the students wake up and deal with government enslavement, and deal with it as an anarchists revolt, nothing will happen. I suggest it will not change because we cherish the thought that ALL of us need a degree. Of course, that’s absurd.
