Corruption at every turn.

Research tends to bum me out. Particularly when researching the realities of things turn up complex schemes that screw people over.

Case in point: I was curious about Student Loans , as Bets' is getting ready to go to school. Holy Shit. These things are nasty. Defaulting on them bypasses nearly all of the bankruptcy and consumer protection that have been put in place to protect people. Albert Lord of Sallie Mae, I hope you can sleep at night with the guilt of knowning you are directly responsible for victimizing good intentioned people just seeking a college education.

Needless to say - I think I may have convinced Bets' to not take those student loans and look to some other financing options that are fair and have reasonable terms. For those that don't know - she's about to embark on getting trained in Medical Assisting. Yay!

Educatingly,
