Goldie Taylor says Ron Paul "speaks the truth" on issue of federal student loans

[krosst55]

I went to college in the mid 70's if there was gov. money I didn't know about it, just worked the summers and paid my way, no big deal . What has changed, kids can't work there way through any more and they learn nothing.

Yes, it has made a bubble - but to pop it all at once, what are the consequences? This woman already will have her kids through with great debt. Then they'll be protesting that the cost is less so the gobbermint should bail them out. The ones that can't get an education (because the government won't pay for it), and will be really angry that they can't get those high incomes, like their older siblings. And why is the gobbermint paying to make kids get LOANS - not grants?

[BoDiggety]

Wow. I never looked at it that way before Dr. Paul. Thank you for educating me. Now I have ammo to fire back at people who say it's "LUDICROUS" to get rid of the Dpt. of Education.

RON PAUL 2012 If Dr. Paul had been voted into Office in 2008, think how much better this Country would be right now. In every way. And think of all the troops killed in the wars that were tailor-made for war profiteers, that would still be here for their families.

[ChronoTriggerMusic]

Well, you're never hearing from her again.

Without the student loans the collages will have to bring costs down or go out of business. Maybe we can lay off all the communist educators and get some teaches interested in teaching instead of indoctrinating. BTW The good Doc is not ending federal student loans. Congress will have to do that and they will not so don't worry about it.

[pwih1987]

@ilkhanX

He said PHASE it out. And soon Congress will have to listen to the PEOPLE and not big business. So no it will be phased out and it will happen. And lets cut the crap. Now people want to start bringing up what congress is needed to do? After all the illegal wars? Lets stop the crap. I am sick of hearing what congress needs to approve. Because if that was the case than we would not be a 10 year war.

Student loans have no doubt risen the price of student tuition, but just abolishing the federal student loan programs wouldn't reduce the cost of education, and if my opinion it would only go through the roof. I'm sure the private sector would love to see federal loans abolished so they could have free rain over providing loans, and would then have more incentive to try and drive up the price of an education. There has to be regulation (Ron Paul regulation, lol), otherwise this plan would fail.

[jaker277]

@langox510x All the fed does is guarentee the loans for the most part. This allows lenders to make loans with no risk of loss. This allows schools to jack their tuition up to the limits that the (artificial) market allows. With out these guarentees the banks would not so freely lend. Common sense dictates that the schools would have to lower their tuition to the new lower limits of lending.

[talkinternet4]

@langox510x Your funny.

You say " There has to be regulation (Ron Paul regulation, lol), otherwise this plan would fail".

The student loan "plan" IS failing. What do you think all the talk is about in the media? The question being asked is how it can be saved. Look up Peter Schiff - he is the economist that also predicted all this housing and student loan mess. He backs up Ron Paul on the student loan solution.

[langox510x]

@talkinternet4 I know it is failing, but to withdraw federal student loans and kill regulation as Ron Paul would like to see would make those issuing student loans rich, and the price of education would skyrocket at a far greater rate than what we are witnessing today. These banks would influence the price of a student education in their favor and the people would suffer far greater than they ever had in the first place. Less regulation is only in the interest of the corporation.

[talkinternet4]

@langox510x The missing part of your analysis is that Ron Paul wants to make the shift from Government regulations that cause the problem, to stricter market place regulations that would keep the banks in check. In other words -- if the Banks had got themselves into this mess without the governments interference, then THEY would be at the risk of losing $1T dollars --- instead of the tax payers. You really thing they would have done that if left to the free market regulations?

[talkinternet4]

@langox510x Your characterization of Ron Paul's plan appears to be incorrect as well. He has a plan to transition out of the mess. He understands perfectly the dangers of killing things day one, and is sympathetic to the students that have been caught up in the scam. That is why he has not included the student loans issue in his initial plan. He wants to get them jobs first and get a stronger economy before dealing with these things.

[talkinternet4]

@langox510x I guess the first thing I should have asked you was - what is the regulation that you think would be so important that the free market wouldn't automatically address?

[Otzmatron]

@talkinternet4 Nothing. The most important regulation was probably Glass-Steagall, the repeal of which Ron Paul was against.

[talkinternet4]

@Otzmatron

I can't tell if you already know this or not but,

Ron Paul was against the repeal of Glass-Steagall because repealing it would be partial deregulation. Glass-Steagall was important to protect from another regulation. Instead of me trying to explain in a few words see: watch?v=6rDt6bmRqLc

GOSH can you afford gas? Real insight into the discussion jackass.
