DOGE starting to look at Student Loan systems

AP
How much money was funneled through the student loan system or anything to do with student loan forgiveness into politician pockets or to illegals?
I noticed if you try to google info on this, you get a bunch of articles with “raises concern” or “raises alarms” (referring to their access of the data) in the title. Mockingbird Media gonna Mockingbird.

Musk’s DOGE team already has gained access to a database housing personal information on millions of students and parents with federal student loans, according to two people with knowledge of the issue. One of them, a department employee, said a DOGE representative requested the access more than a week ago.

Everything Biden touched enriched his family.

Once the Dept. of Ed. is gone, we need to get rid of student loans entirely. Only go to college if you can afford it. Anything else is a grift on the taxpayers.

Higher education is dominated by leftists.
Student loans allowed them to have ZERO cost control efforts and provided virtually infinite government dollars funneled through kids held hostage by the bogus accreditation system they set up.

According to recent data, 47 US politicians owe varying amounts of money in student loans, ranging from $10,000 to $250,000.
Specifically, two politicians owe between $10,000 and $15,000,
24 owe between $15,001 and $50,000,
13 owe between $50,001 and $100,000,
and 8 owe between $100,001 and $250,000.

One exception - the colleges themselves should be allowed to give student loans. They are the ones who know what they teach and the potential for that student with that degree, earned in a short amount of time, could be paid back with interest if the student works hard.
THEY know what they teach - and if it has the potential to pay for its 'education' - IF they want to take a chance on a prospective student, great.
They already do some of that with scholarships, but those scholarships should be funded fully by the colleges themselves.
But allowing some dope smoking asshat take out thousands of $$$ for him to waste 6 years 'studying' gender-studies is pure nonsense it the TAXPAYER is on the hook to pay it back when he defaults.
Let the colleges take the risk.

One has to serve honorably in the military for 3 years to use the GI bill. Those that do so have earned it

I don’t necessarily disagree, but how many 18 year olds can afford college these days? Shoot, I’m 44 and I can’t afford a $200,000 college tuition of 4 years. The price of education has gotten ridiculous and overvalued
Posted on 2/8/25 at 10:08 am to AldousSnow26
The GI bill you pay into. Not as much as you get but you make the decision. There’s also tuition assistance. That’s “free” as long as you complete and pass the class.

Or limit forgiveness to legitimate financial need, and recoup the loan from the school.
You want to overcharge for tuition and offer bogus classes? Fine, then YOU eat the cost instead of the taxpayers.

How are federal student loans a grift? I had 40k+ in federal student loans and paid every single penny back, with 10 years of interest.

Not everyone pays them back

The 95% of people who pay their loans back generate more than enough tax revenue over their working lifetimes to cover the 5% of people who default.

So does an apprenticeship or an oil field job. The burden shouldn’t fall on the taxpayers to lift you out of poverty. Get a job or take out a bank loan but the federal government shouldn’t be in the student loans business.

This. The problem is two fold. Institutions have never-ending tuition increases because they know that there is an unlimited amount of federal student aid to pay for them.
Wash, rinse and repeat.

We need to drastically lower the cost of college. It’s ridiculous.

As a taxpayer, I'd rather pay for someone's student loans for a few years than food stamps, housing subsidies, and health care for the rest of their lives. There are only so many oil field jobs to go around, the rest of the people who can't get one are going to end up working fast food jobs.

absolutely - we've been letting the Ivy League dipshits milk the taxpayer for way too long.
