"Last month, the US Department of Justice filed a massive lawsuit against the company behind the schools, Education Management Corporation, accusing it of fraudulently collecting $11 billion in government aid by recruiting low-income students for the purpose of collecting student aid money. Whistleblowers claim that students graduate loaded with debt and without the means to pay off the loans, which are then paid for with taxpayer dollars."
Are government guaranteed loans simply a bad idea for student loans? Seems like schools will simply charge as much as the government will guarantee. Why wouldn't they? It's free money!
- shareme 15y agoThe problem is the economic game of getting a college org stable. In the USA that missing budget shortfall that states do not fund for a college is made up by the college raising their prices to students. Considering most state's income taxes are lower than the fed gov's the Fed must have skin in the game by funding ,more of that budget shortfall directly rather than the edu loan charades.
