Big Government, Congressman Ryan, and Student Loans

Big Government, Congressman Ryan, and Student Loans

Second, and perhaps most importantly:  Why on earth are the Republicans buddying up with big-government champions like the New America Foundation in trying to protect this obvious, shameless, beltway monstrosity?  Is this what the rank and file conservative Republicans can expect from their leadership in the House going forward?  If so, I recommend strongly that they be immediately replaced, by true conservatives not infected by the bureaucratic, beltway sickness that seems to have enveloped both parties on this issue and others.

Student Loan Defaulter Calls For Solidarity

Student Loan Defaulter Calls For Solidarity

We need to organize. And we need to learn to help each other out even as we face a large battle. People in default suffer in a variety of ways – they can’t rent anywhere to save their lives, for example. They’re doomed to poverty, because they’re being made examples of. It’s a way to keep us all in perpetual fear of this system. I think that borrowers need to start actively helping each other out and networking among themselves so that they can resist the loan industry’s tactics. Lending each other some moral support is certainly a start.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
