Coast To Coast AM – 27.5.2011 – 4/4 – Student Loan Scam

MP3 www.4shared.com Guests: Alan Collinge Student Loan Scam: During the first hour, Ian Punnett welcomed the founder of StudentLoanJustice.org, Alan Collinge, who discussed how federal student loans have become predatory, turning a generation into debtor slaves. “It’s a socially horrible epidemic,” he declared, noting that America’s total student loan debt now surpasses the nation’s credit card debt. He explained that student loans are particularly pernicious because they contain no consumer safeguards such as bankruptcy protection, statute of limitations, or the ability to re-finance the debt in an open market.

and in that’s university you can’t get out of your dorm but on weekends
