Just curiously, when student aid or loans are increased, where does that money come from? Oh, right, that student's future children.
@BDayspring yeah, and when a parent takes out a mortgage and buys a house, the kid has to pay the bill

@ryangrim A parent taking a mortgage is not = to government subsidizing increase in student loan activity. -
@BDayspring Why not? They've both investments in the future -
@ryangrim because 1 has a personal stake in activity, the other doesn't. I owe my mortgage. I continue subsidizing what govt spends my $$ on -
@BDayspring You don't feel a personal stake in the country? Want to contribute to its success? Of course you do -
@ryangrim A personal FINANCIAL stake. Student loans, at the rate this govt is going, will never be repaid. My mortgage? I will repay it. -
@BDayspring totally agree. College should be free. But my point is cutting investment in education, etc is no way to make kids better off -
@ryangrim No. But same as in housing market - all loans are not created equal. Entire system needs reform.
