Re: For Unpaid College Loans, Feds Dock Social Sec
Um, you could move to Saudi Arabia,
where we send all our (children's) money,
and college tuition is free.

Re: For Unpaid College Loans, Feds Dock Social Sec
This is what I know. I saw at least one new big one (college) in Riyadh. Our driver told me the princess (Nora something?) built it. I heard of but did not see one in Dammam (east side) and another one in Jeddah (west side). One of my division heads was getting his daughter enrolled at the one in Dammam which is how I knew of that one.
The one in Riyadh is a HUGE campus and brand new and I (think) it is the biggest women-only university in the world.
Stolen/reprinted from an article:
Women make up 58 percent of the total student population of 130,000 at seven universities in Saudi Arabia, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Most of the female Saudi graduates appeared to be going into either medical? or teaching? from what I could tell. My wife for instance never saw a male doctor while we were there. Our pediatrician / her OB were both women.

Awesome!
Many women are much more comfortable seeing a woman doctor. They are not so quick to label women's symptoms as "hysteria". They have more empathy towards other women than male doctors.

Re: For Unpaid College Loans, Feds Dock Social Sec
I find this especially encouraging, as I doubt the
Rockefellers have the same stranglehold
on the profession there.
The medical care in the mideast
(lol, and prolly Mexico)
certainly blows ours away; I have a story
about a friend who went to the Hospital
in Eilat (on a Sabbath, no less) that I used to tell,
but stopped telling it because I don't think
anyone believed me. Or they did,
and the truth was just too painful.

Re: For Unpaid College Loans, Feds Dock Social Sec
I understand it's not a good policy to have the Fed Gov tinker with almost anything.
But the ultimate responsibility is still on the individual who willingly signs for the loan. It does not matter if the tuition costs ten times more than its worth. There should be full expectation the loan is paid back.
Unless the person is handicapped etc., I am also against any abnormal interest reduction subsidies.

Re: For Unpaid College Loans, Feds Dock Social Sec
Btw, are we talking about retirees who took out
loans as students, and still have not repaid them?

So like co-signing for their kid? Really? Yes, they should pay it back then. I would not co-sign on a new Trans Am for my child, so why cosign on a pricey education and be excused?
