Well, /pol/?

Wall Street has more reliable returns.

Basic economics. Collage loans are a riskier investment because of a high default rate. Basically students could get higher loans if they weren't such niggers about paying them back.

>>61253280
What is "collateral"

College students have no collateral.

If I defaulted on a loan, there is nothing the bank could take from me that would pay it back. I am a high risk, low reward loan applicant and therefore I have to pay more for the loan.

>>61253345

so?

Wall Street isn't blowing that money on a degree in gender studies.

>>61253501
>>61253504

SO WHAT

>>61253507
so? It's a safer loan to make.
If you get a student with no credit history going to college and you don't know what major they're going to pursue, the risk is significantly higher than that of Wall Street who have the capacity to pay back loans.

Perhaps if college students stopped taking shit courses like gender studies and had backers in case they never pay their loan back then college loans could be cheaper.

While legally you cannot default on student loans in the US, the projections as they stand now is that they won't be repaid regardless. To the tune of 225 billion.

>If they weren't such niggers about paying them back
Then why give them high interest rates in the first place In conjunction with constantly raising the cost of living and tuition rates. Yea when the cost of college alone for one year can give ne an apartment for a two year lease high interest rates on loans seems pretty retarded and defaults seems like the likely outcome. Either reduce interest rates. Regulate the economy better or reduce the cost of living and tuition fees. Better yet all of the above and you solve this problem completely

>leftists in charge of understanding basic economics
>interest on loans should be determined by ideology and not economic factors

There are so many unperforming student loans from people who get useless SJW degrees and can't pay them back that the interest rate needs to be high just in order to break even let alone make a profit.

Basically successful people have to pay a high price to subsidize all the failures

The problem is that the government doesn't allow banks to deny loans to people pursuing useless degrees

>>61253649

The loans are actual money from an actual person's pocket.

It's just not made out of thin air.

The lenders are propositioned with, "you are either 100% guaranteed to get this loan paid back by Wall Street, but there's a 1-in-10 chance that a loan you give to a college student will end up in default."

The latter will naturally require a higher interest rate because the lenders are taking a greater risk.

>>61254242
This is absolutely right. We could also open more colleges if there was less government regulation. The government can put a cap on tuition prices to force colleges to focus on quantity of students so more people can get into college cheaply. Some states already have tuition caps. There's tons of solutions the governments could do, but right now the colleges are just taking advantage of all the money government is throwing at it. And so are the students who qualify for government loans.

>>61253909

Why are banks still giving out loans for shit degrees that do not produce jobs. they are not rational actors in this situation.

Also its a bubble and it will pop eventually.

>>61254273
Is englisch really that hard?

>>61254273

Basically there are two types of solutions:

1. Let the free market allocate resources. In which case, banks would lend at a lower rate, but they would select students (i.e. only fund STEM/medicine/etc. degrees)

2. Have the government fund students, one way or the other (direct subsidy, artifically lowered interest rates, etc.)

But having artificially low rates is basically a subsidy.

>>61254219
Great, we're waiting to hear your great ideas!

You have to make a choice, either you just let the state pay for education completely or else it's completely free market.

If you just give students cheap and large loans, colleges are just going to keep raising their fees. Simple supply and demand.

>>61253861
If you're certain of it you're welcomed to start your own loaning company at 0.75%. I mean all the customers will surely flock to you at that rate and all your competition will be out of business. See how well you do.

Which would you choose, Mr. Sanders?

>>61253345

This sounds a lot like the "muh perfect european socialist countries" argument.

Can you give concrete examples instead of alluding to "better" countries?

At some point, the government having its hand in the economy is going to fuck it up completely.

Yes, I would personally love to have a 0.75% interest rate on my remaining $62,000 in student loans I'm currently paying off. But I literally got this money loaned to me with no collateral and no credit history. My lenders took a huge risk on an 18-year-old kid.

It's just not how the world works.

>>61254513

We shouldnt be keeping the 4 year model afloat. High school should be fixed to get basic math and writing down and then the 2 year model should be pushed. That way we can do cheaper community colleges for the general shit and the second two years people can have idea by then what they want. Can do trade or certificate or finish a bachelors. The 4 years schools are growing out of control.

>>61253351
This. And backing by govt. Has caused anyone to get a degree in anything and not what is currently valued in the market. Affirmative action has put people who wouldn't and shouldnt be in college otherwise in. Policies on accepting everyone and govt. Subsidised higher education is what has fucked college prices.

>>61253957
private banks dont lend to students, the government does. the vast majority of student loans are from the federal government.

government lends to students
government lends to banks at .75% interest

if government can do the second they can do the first.

and wall street is a much worse bet than college students, wall street creates literally no value. in fact it destroys value massively. maybe you forget 2008. every bank executive could be in jail is obama wasn't too much of a pussy to prosecute. they're all worthless parasites.

>>61254440
I can guarantee you that colleges would be more discerning about who they let in and what degrees they offered if the government made them partially responsible for the debt in the even of a student failing to pay.

Ultimately the responsibility rests on the colleges here because they allow unprepared failures of humanity to graduate.

Government lends to banks with collateral, for short maturities to address a liquidity crisis.

You can't compare that to lending to students with zero net worth, for maturities in years.

>>61253280
Well, first off, these companies have fucking millions with some excellent credit on the side.

Normal loans don't cost as much in interest because they're willing to give up to a certain limit and the loaner has some more control over the debtor as it takes a big impact on their credit

There is almost no consequence and no collateral with student loans as many companies don't give much importance to things like medical bills and student loans. Not only that, but IIRC, the government can help with student debt

The entire system is absolutely retarded.
Why the fuck has someone to pay a life-ruining amount of money for education when the nation needs more people with higher studies? And even more, it's fucking obvious that only a few have that money at that stage in their life PROVIDED by their parents. It's absolutely ridiculous.

The simple fact is that we don't need more people with "higher studies" when those studies are not of value.
The value of college was in the fact that it prepared you for jobs that required a ton of study in areas that were not commonly understood, and materials that were not commonly available to people in the past. Modern colleges still have some schools within them that require these, but most of the schools resources are spent on "education" that amounts to little more than babysitting for people who aren't smart enough to even find let alone attend the classes which would provide them value.

I don't argue this because it's what I'm used to. I argue it because it makes sense.

>and the other makes many lives better at the cost of the unfair excess of a few, which is evil as far as you are concerved, because it is change, and that is scary, and everyone who is rich deserves everything they have if they arent under indictment

Federal student loans have interest rates of about 3-6% depending on the year and whether they're subsidized or not. This interest rate pales in comparison to the principal taken out. It's not the interest rate that gets students, it's the massive principal.

I'm not "scared of change," I'm vehemently opposed to it because it will fuck everything up.

If you have a 10% default rate on student loans and only make 0.75% on them compared to a 0% default rate on Wall Street loans, which one are you going to invest in?

Like I initially said, these are actual people taking actual money out of their pockets. You are taking another person's money with a loan. You have to incentivize your lenders.

They're not getting fucked. Someone is still taking the risk of loaning money to people with no credit history and no collateral and a lot of the time no idea what they are doing (muh womyns studie).

If they wanted a better rate they could choose not to go immediately into post-secondary education and work for a few years whilst building credit. Apply for credit cards, and paying them off regularly for example.

How would you regulate people with money into lending it with high risk without making a profit?

And now I'm making $60k a year right out of college as a STEMfag. I've got a very nice apartment, furniture, clothes, everything. And I had none of this before while growing up in a low-income, single-mother household.

I was under the impression you cant default a student loan, what a bunch of fucking shills itt.

Greek state had reliable returns, never missed a payment yet the Wall Street rating agencies ramped up greek interest from 2% to 30%. Why? To put political pressure on Greece, so that they would privatize their many state owned assets to Wall Street and implement the usual IMF reforms that maximize the profits of american investors.

In a fiat money system the interest mechanic is irrelevant. The interest mechanic serves only one purposes: to enslave and economically exploit all non-jews and all non-jewish nations.

They called the fucking 1973 french law that made national debt possible 'Loi de Rothschild' for a reason.

>>61256308

Not necessarily. Imposing a minimum wage above what someone is currently being paid would only result in cutting staff immediately to shore up the loss in profit.

So now you have more people unemployed.

Listen, I used to think exactly like you. But it simply doesn't work. We're treading into No True Scotsman territory where you say "well, what they have isn't *real* socialism/communism" or start laying out some facts about the other countries' economies you want to model our economy after.

>>61253280
You need to pay if you want to waste a few years of your time. If there are any college classes that should be free it would be STEM classes. You get 2 chances fail twice and you lose the class that you failed and have to wait a few years to try again.
Making all classes free is stupid and there needs to be consequences for failures.

How are you going to convince people to loan money at great risk and low returns.

People have zero reason to lend out their money and risk possibly getting none of it back, just for the benefit of dumbass kids they know nothing about.

>>61256508

I don't care if my anecdote means nothing to you. The current system works just fine when used properly. For faggot degenerates who pick bad majors, it doesn't work so well. And the system is set up to disincentivize bad decision-making by having interest rates on student loans, thus requiring a well-paying degree/career/job to pay back.

>>61253649
So that's how financial institutions can actually function as a business. If they just passed out loans that they could never collect on they would run out of money to loan people.
Bernifags are fucking toddlers.

>>61254772
M8 you went full retard.

When I have a bachelor degree in philosophy and political sciences or in sport theory and I don't understand why I have to flip burgers to feed my 3 kids and wife(with an equally useless degree) then I done fucked up.

Also, in romania cost of living as a student in a big city is (a minimum, mind you, only food and accomodation) around 200€ a month. Of course, you have to work hard and deserve a bed in university-owned dorms and receive free education by being one of the best, but if you cant be in the top 50% then you should be doing something else...

>>61256508
In those "places with a higher standard of living", the cost of education is borne not by the students but instead (principally, depending on the country) by the government - I think that that is what you're alluding to. There are a few points to make about this.

Firstly, switching to that model does nothing to address the fact that a lot of people are graduating with useless degrees that have no economic value. Everyone is stagnating or declining in terms of living standards, if you haven't noticed.

Secondly, having government (basically the country) pay for education is part of the welfare state. This means relatively high taxes (close to 50%, depending on how much you make). Some people want that, and some people don't, so I won't make and arguments for or against there.

If you want to switch to that system, I would like to hear your arguments as to why it is such a good improvement. Having lived in that system myself, I would say that we are in need of reform as well.

so, how you gonna convince people to do something they dont want to do?

when change does come, in the end the way those who refuse end up complying is this way:

kicking and screaming

>>61256708

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_de_janvier_1973_sur_la_Banque_de_France

National debt in this perpetual form didnt exist until after WW2. It is a tool to enslave all once sovereign goyim nations to the international jew.

The right to coin, issue and tax money was once the right of kings, not the right of jewish parasites, and usury was flat out illegal and one of the main reasons why jews got kicked out of Europe in the middle ages.

I agree with you that some things need to change.

This thread is so cringey.

The free market will fix it. It's really simple, fellas.

1. You get a loan to go to university.

2. You get a degree in such and such.

3. If you then proceed to get a high paying job, you made a good investment (winning strategy). If you aren't able to get a high paying job, you're an idiot (losing strategy).

4. The people that lose out in a 4-year degree plan, would win if they'd gone to a 1- or 2-year vocational program.

Every socialist argument on this topic boils down to:

"B-but everyone has a right to education!"
(Doesn't help people improve their lives by getting a good job)

or

"B-but it's not our fault liberal arts degrees aren't valued in the economy. That's capitalism's fault!"
(Calling for socialist revolution)

>>61256848

I would encourage you to study up on the science of economics as opposed to wishing the world was fair. I like what you're saying, it would be nice, and I even used to believe it. But it simple doesn't work that way.

At some point you have to let go of your victim complex (the top 1% are fucking us in the ass) and start taking control over your life, fate, and destiny.

Thomas Sowell's book Basic Economics is great, and there are many small clips of him debating these issues on YouTube as well.

>I would like to hear your arguments as to why it is such a good improvement.

standard of living is highest in those nations where wealth AND power are both most evenly distributed

this ends with result of us being able to live more and struggle less,

free, or mostly free, of those people at the top who function as metaphorical cancers on society, principally with wealth, where you have the alternative of living under a bridge, or making them wealthier


this is where the impasse lies

2 different classes:
those who support the system as it is, "the richest have done nothing wrong, they deserve what they have because they earned it"

and the other type of folk:

"no, everyone under it earned it for them"

Alright, so you're an outsider when it comes to student loans. You have no personal experience with them.

easy proof it is
objective means "what anyone thinks/says/feels is irrelevant to the matter"

subjective means "what anyone thinks/says/feels is the ENTIRETY of the matter"

with value, its basically "what anyone is willing to pay", which is different from person to person, and if found to be identical between two, is merely incidental

value is something created in each human mind regarding each "thing", real or not

>That's all there is to it.

handwavium, appeal to the stone

The idea behind taking a loan for anything is that the improvements made by having the extra money will provide a better return after the project is done. In this case, it means gaining knowledge to enter a job that pays more for having the degree.

There are a few problems with the current system in that, students going through high school don't really learn about other paths that don't require a 4-year degree. There is also the fact that 4-year degrees are slowly becoming useless to employers, who are constantly asking for years of experience for entry-level positions, while internships to give that experience become harder to obtain.

Another is that being laden with debt coming out of college really hinders someone's ability to have the freedom to participate in the local economy. But this also boils down to avoiding taking out a loan in the first place and there's a number of solutions to that.

>>61258290
Okay, I think I see where you're coming from now. The difficulty though is that every society has some measure of "value", from advanced ones like our own to nomadic hunter-gatherers, and this measure of "value" normally relates to survival - to hunter-gatherers it is food and shelter, and to us it is money which provides us all that and more.

Even if your system were implemented, you would still have to in some way apportion people so that enough would study in fields that are necessary for the maintenance of civilisation. Currently, our system does this by punishing those who take out large loans in subjects that do not earn monetary rewards. In my engineering classes most people are there not because they love the field but because it is a reasonably safe guarantee of a decent middle-class salary. How would your proposals convince people to voluntarily contribute towards society in the absence of the economic coercion used in ours?

Usury should be illegal anyway. Simple fees would support the bank without high interest on loans

>>61258770

I agree, it's a social science. But there are basic principles that hold true.

>>61253649
The best thing to do is look at it from the perspective of the one giving the loan. Remember, first, you can't deny people or charge different rates because that's discriminatory. You can either offer the loan or not offer it.

Now, nine people come into your office looking to take your money in hopes that they can give it back later. This is not coming out of your pocket, but it is coming out of the 401k and the social security, so while it won't hurt you now no matter what you spend, you definitly want it back in some kind of timeframe.

So these nine people come into the office, asking for the loan. Five people say they are going to go to college, get the degree, and use their higher wage to pay you back. One guy says his wage is probably going to be 70,000 starting, and another two are making 50k, so no problem with that. One guy says that, okay, he starts low, but his pay will ramp up over time, so he's going to have to start with low payments but he'll surely have it all back in fifteen years (ten after he graduates). One guy tells you that his major either makes bank or breaks it. It takes years, but over time he has a decent shot at being a millionaire. Like 10%. That's pretty good. He'll definitely pay you back in full when he gets there.

And then there's the other four. Three of these guys are going to take your money, spend it all, and then drop out. Two will pay it off over the next 30 years (college plus 25). One plans to die with the debt, says he won't give you a penny. The fourth guy looks you in the eye and says "i'm going to run into a building and die at 22. You won't get a penny."

So, them's the breaks. You got your nine guys. Three pay back in a 'decent' timeframe (ten years). One will pay you back in fifteen. Two will still be paying in 30, long after you retire and need the money back. One will pay you back 10% of the time. Two will never pay you a thing.

Why the fuck do you expect them to give you only .75% interest?

>Everyone doesnt *need* to be educated but society would be better if everyone were educated...
So where do we get all the staff to teach the hundreds of millions of people?
Let's say for the sake of the argument we need to educate only 100,000,000 Americans(Note that the number is currently closer to 30 million, even at our current tuition rate.) Lets also keep a 28:1 student:professor ratio, and each student has 5 classes — a typical curriculum.

We would need 17.8 million professors to educate a third of USA. The average professor salary is $98,974 according to the US Department of Labor. Do you know what that is?(I know you don't)
It's 1.767 trillion US dollars just to pay for the salary of the professors to teach them. No other expenses, not a single fucking one. Just professor tuition. That's more than half of our entire 2015 federal budget.

>one against Wall Street

You know how many persons killed themselves in my country because of the crysis? Half of my country debt was acquired after 2008, was lower then the average of EU. And then the germans came here and called us big spenders and lazy.

If i could, i would hang all the fucking wall street guys, bankers in my country, politicians and thei families in public square. I would not even spare the fucking janitors.

>>61258942

Lol. Please get out of my country you fucking hick.

I'd tell you to read up on basic finance, but I'm sure you've got a rodeo to attend to.

Oh, I see, you just wish to avoid all mention of your best bud Uncle Joe, and all his brilliant plans which required much kicking and screaming (and dying) by those that opposed them.

I hope you never have any power over so much as another person. You disgust me.

Why not have a low interest rate that increases in the event of a default and grows as the default becomes longer?

It could also shrink as the default is resolved.

This would punish those who steal and reward those who are responsible.

The crisis was caused because the interest rate on your government debt increased.

Do you really think you are entitled to other countries money? You're fucking not.

So if the markets are telling you: if you want to borrow, you'll have to pay this much interest, that's your problem.

>>61259173

Jesus wasn't mad about interest rates. The activity in the temple was closer to a currency exchange ("money changers"). The evil money changers were ripping people off.

>>61259312

Same guy, check ID.

He doesn't even have student loan debt and he cares this much.

I think he just wants to slug with the major leaguers and be "included" in college grad crowds.

>>61259206
One of the reasons for having high interest rates is to make money off all the loans that don't default to cover for the money you lose on the loans that do default. High interest rates on defaulting loans doesn't make you your money back - fleecing the other guys who do pay up does.

Reliable returns in the context we are talking about (i.e. collateralized, overnight liquidity facilities).

No, he was right. That is exactly what we're talking about here. Context matters.

The odds of Wall Street defaulting versus a student and how it subsequently determines interest rates.

Isn't the government? Is it not for the interest of the state that the orders of recent graduates to leave college with a degree and no debt? or at least no rates?

Your math is wrong dumbass

First of all every professor can teach like 4 classes per semester which has you at around 4.5 million profs

Second lots of classes are taught by adjuncts rather than full profs and adjuncts make only $31k a year

Point being this is not nearly as expensive as you make it out to be and it is easily within our grasp to do it

fyi there's a lot more than professors to pay for

>>61260030

Warren has no idea what she is talking about.

The 0.75% rate she is talking is the fed discount rate: http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/discountrate.htm

It's a liquidity facility, not really a loan. Think of a bank with a lot of assets, but needing actual cash. They use this facility to get cash. It is generally fully collateralized. In fact, it's usually more than 100% collateralized because there is a haircut. So, to borrow 100 dollars, they have to put for 120 dollars worth of high-quality (low-risk) assets (generally, government bills or bonds) as collateral.

And it's overnight. You borrow money for 24 hours (which you can renew every night if you want).

Comparing that with loaning money to students, for many years, at the same rate is completely retarded.

>>61260272

4.5 million profs, who are/tend to be PhDs.

And PhDs (at least STEM ones) are worth way more in the private sector than public/academia.

>>61253280
YES! IT'S EASY! IF THEY DEFAULT ON THEM, WE'LL JUST TAKE THEIR DIPLOMA! IF THEY DON'T GRADUATE, UHH... WE'LL UHH...

>>61259090
Such change can't happen overnight, you dumbass. Traditional methods are not possible to teach to half a country population.

Also, on your dumbass system, 100,000,000 of people, each paying 15k per year of tuition is...

>>61260212
they're actually ideal as double major degrees to have going into stem or professional graduate programs. that's why statistically philosophy undergrads score the highest on LSATS and MCATS

>>61253280
0.75% of a couple billion is still a fuckton of cash, and you're basically guaranteed to get that money back. Students, not so much.

>>61260421

Where do they get the money?

Who provides that $1.5 trillion lumpsum?
