I don't believe any human has the wisdom and knowledge necessary to ethically hold most hierarchical power positions, but still believe in "to each..." and "from each...". The Libertarian party is closest to this philosophy of most parties; I agree with or can stomach most of Johnson's platform.<br /><br />2) Only indirectly.<br /><br />3) No.<br /><br />4) Officially finished the B.S. 8/2012.

I stumbled upon this article last night:<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/09/business/once-a-student-now-dogged-by-collection-agencies.html?_r=2&pagewanted=all<br /><br />Every year, the Department of Education is paying LITERALLY BILLIONS of dollars per year to collection agencies to hunt down and harass poor people (educated serfs). Notice how debt collectors receive money just for *finding* debtors and "qualifying" them - this is before they even collect a dime! Here's an idea: rather than wasting the tax payers' dollars making collection agencies rich, how about using that same money to write off billions of dollars of debt every year until every student is relieved?<br /><br />There are SO many places the government could make reasonable concessions to help students. Politicians just don't want it happening on their watch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
