Grade levels expanded to 10 points per letter grade. Useless courses added to college curricula. 4 year degrees ‘relaxed’ to the point where one could stall off actual life indefinitely.

The insidious college loan program, a natural result from more educational meddling by a dysfunctional national government.

If a corporation pays for your education they can deduct the expense. So why can’t I. After all I’m in the business of raising a family.

Yes, your mortgage will be cancelled. However, your house will become the property of The State.

Well, a certain president once promised to cancel student loans from those of us who became teachers. It didn’t happen…sigh.
