re: Trump’s plan for student loans is solid

I don't think for-profit schools are inherently evil.

But the truth is that the majority of crippling student debt is concentrated among a very small segment of borrowers: middle-aged students who take out substantial amounts of loans to pay for for-profit/online schools to attempt a career change but who (1) fail to graduate or (2) fail to turn their investment into advanced career prospects.

If the Dept of Ed is willing to agree to back $60-80k in loans to these schools, the schools need to demonstrate they are doing everything possible to ensure students graduate in a good position to advance their career.

Why is this a bad thing?

Because the government doesn’t want to hold its own institutions to the same standards.

Bonus: Are ‘non-profit’ schools not trying to make more money?

Ask any professor if they make enough money, Ask any administrator if their school has enough funding. You’ll have your answer.
