Posted by Thanks to our Lobbyists for this startling news about college loan defaults….college are big businesses…and in my opinion our citizens are being abused by them. We need to reinforce the need for a skilled labor force, and not automatically send our children to these bastions of liberalism, offering degrees that have no value in the workplace.
