Elle T., the problem then, is two-fold. Firstly, inmates are treated far too kindly. Secondly, government subsidized student loans will continue to drive up the price of higher education, making the difference in cost to the taxpayer negligible.

Funniest exchange in SCOTUS immigration arguments – Obama lawyer argues the Fed has limited resources and therefore has the power to limit the number of illegal immigrants reported. Liberal, hispanic, Obama-appointed Justice (and self-described ‘wise latina’) Sonia Sotomayer retorts, “I’m terribly confused by your answer.”

Coincidentally (or not… hmmm) JJ Lunas great ebook “Skip College – Go Into Business for Yourself” is temporarily on sale for $4.97 at http://bit.ly/Iif4n7. Not just for younguns, either – inspiration and ideas for anyone who wants to get out of the rat race.

@SoB: Yes, we have laws that punish people who take money and don’t give it back. We don’t have a way to get the money back, though. It currently costs more to maintain an inmate for a year in a state prison (federal ones cost more) than it does to send a student to an Ivy League college for a year.

By working throughout my college and grad school years, I managed to snag a JD from a top-five law school with only $5,000 total in student debt upon graduation (and I was deeply chagrined about that). Yes, I sometimes had to take fewer classes and started my career a few years later than most law school grads, but I also did not owe anyone five years’ salary when just starting my career. I paid off my loan about 15 years sooner than my friends and colleagues.

So, someone borrows money to go to college then doesn’t want to pay it back. We already have plenty of laws that take care of crooks.

So I guess Romney isn’t going to talk about how Obama is a dog-eating son of a polygamist ...

Well let's face it - Romney bringing up ancestoral polygamy is like Obama discussing animal abuse. [I brought it up because Obama's surrogates have started mentioning polygamy in Romney's background (though it's his great-grandfather and not his father). -Ed.]

I actually respect Jon Stewart’s reaction to the right going nuts with dog-eating-Obama jokes:

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-april-23-2012/must-love-dogs

“Dickish, but funny. I happen to know a little something about that intersection. I live there.”

At his core, Stewart is a comedian first and a liberal second, even if it’s often a very close second.

[...] Frank J over at IMAO brings some snarky perspective to the student loan drama: It does seem like an idiotic situation we’re in, but since it seems to be mainly a government made problem, I’m not sure how more government is going to help. [...]

Nice guys finish last.

Romney needs to wake the fook up.
