Dear Senator Blumenthal and Cong. Larson:
If a college education is not longer worth it (see below articles), then interest rates on college debt are academic which begs a few questions:
1) where are federal laws mandating Truth in Education -and Truth in Education Lending wherein colleges and lenders apprise students & parents about negative 'returns on investment' and high borrowing and college costs they may never be able to repay?
2) why can't students deduct THEIR bad investments just like Wall St Banksters can do under federal law?
3) why are taxpayers financing investments that have a negative return?
4) why can't student loan borrowers obtain federal bankruptcy protection when their investment and finances sour - just like all other investors?
5) what Congress do to make such investments POSITIVE-for students, parents AND for taxpayers?
