So that the only people who can go to college are the super wealthy. Once again it shows repubs care only for the super rich. They mention no alternative whatsoever. In the absence of student loan program, you seriously believe an ordinary student can pay such expensive college on his own? Everyone knows university costs are sky-rocketing. And you think a private bank will loan 6000 dollars every semester for 4 continuous years? Get real. The fact that student has little income will directly disqualify him from bank loan. And if you are to get a co-signer, you think the co-signer will take the entire 50K education loan on his own head? And banks never wait until degree is finished. They start collecting payment right away. Its all nonsense. Banks themselves are for the purpose of serving the rich. Instead of cutting student loan programs which is vital to making degree possible for the vast majority of students, why don’t they cut useless foreign aid spending? Such as spending 2 billion dollars to remove Qadaffi and similar stuff? And do you even believe any faculty, student or college administration employees will ever vote for such people? tens of millions, even more than 140 million or so are affiliated to some type of university or college as student, teacher, or administration employee. They are shutting themselves out from the campaign by taking such positions?

Gingrich And Ron Paul Say They Will End Department Of Education And Shutter All Student Loan Programs. Why?
Posted on November 28, 2011.
Because it’s easier to keep the GOP in power where people are undereducated and poor.
Education is for liberals and pansies. FACT.
too much
Because it is a great Idea.
Because they represent the ultimate conservative truth: Success goes to only “the chosen”.
Anything that benefits everyone in society is just anti-conservative.
Half the students don’t never pay the loan back!
states are perfectly capable of running their own school systems. dept if edu- 100% waste of money.
Here’s the problem.
The gov’t runs the higher education system, or almost all of it anyway. So there is no competition and they can raise tuition as high as they want and there is no incentive to provide their service more efficiently. No real competition for the student’s educational dollars.
We see this as education costs have increased over the years faster than inflation, hell even faster than health care costs.
And then when the gov’t has priced higher education too high, they make it really easy for you to go deep into debt with student loans, so you can keep paying even more outrageous tuition fees. Easy student loans are only fueling increased tuition fees!
It’s like the gov’t is screwing you twice, and most of you don’t even realize it!
Some students are committing suicide due to loan debt. Ask yourself why Clinton made these loans not dischargeable in bankruptcy. They may seem great when you borrow the money but they haunt you lifelong.
Education, like quality health care, is only really obtainable by the wealthy. They just want to cement that, and ensure that those without means have no opportunity for education.
Government sponsorship means they can charge silly fees and not be results oriented.
