Maybe it should not be the loan company but maybe the college. I don't
know, it just seems like a lot of this could have been avoided if people
were not allowed to get a useless degree that they were not going to parlay
into something else (like Poly-Sci to go to Law School, or English to go to
Education School, etc.).
It would mess up the indoctrination process, and also whatever schemes the
school has going to fleece young people out of a lot of money.

I don't disagree here. My disagreement comes when a politician, or
political party, thinks it is my responsibility to help them pay it off. :(
