Could not be more disappointed with the democrats, who would rather throw money at higher education rather than ending the predatory student loan system which, in the absence of the most basic consumer protections like bankruptcy rights, is completely devastating millions of citizens. I am however, even MORE disappointed by the republicans, led by John Boehner, who prattle on about free markets while the cruel and unusual absence of free market protections (again bankruptcy protections) remain off the table, and the lending system is allowed to inflate with a speed never before seen. Adam Smith would be- and ever living economist ought to be- shaking their heads at how badly the student loan system has been perverted against the very citizens it was supposed to be helping. Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and the rest of the democrats were supposed to be the good guys in this, yet they are nowhere to be found on the bankruptcy issue when it comes to federal loans. Warren particularly should be ashamed given her complete inaction on this critically important topic, given her background as a bankruptcy scholar and professor. .
