America's Student Loan Racket: Soaring Default Rates by Stephen Lendman

America's Student Loan Racket: Soaring Default Rates by Stephen Lendman: "An earlier article discussed 'Permanent Debt Bondage from America's Student Loan Racket.'

It explained government/corporate complicity to rip off students for profit, a racket continuing under Obama. His July 2010 Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act perpetuated the scam. It enriches providers, entrapping millions of students permanently in debt, because rising tuition and fee amounts plus interest, service charges, and late payment or collection agency penalties are too onerous to repay.

It's part of the grand scheme, of course, to transfer maximum public wealth to America's super-rich already with too much. Ongoing for over three decades, it accelerated under Obama, a corrupted Wall Street/war profiteer tool, destroying America for power and profit.

Millions of Students Permanently Entrapped in Debt

Many students, whether or not they graduate, have debt burdens approaching or exceeding $100,000. If repaid over 30 years, it's a $500,000 obligation, and if default, much more because debts aren't forgiven. As a result, once entrapped, escape is impossible. Bondage is permanent, and future lives and careers are impaired or ruined."

  1. Yeak, it's a racket!

    So what!

    Is the whole "education" idea not just another racket itself where one becomes educated (indoctrinated), goes through the system, gets his/her ticket punched and finally goes to the head of the employment line ahead of others less socially/economically advantaged to do the same????
