PBS Reports on Student Loans: A Leftist Perspective on Reality

As a right-leaning or conservative gentleman, I can sniff out leftist propaganda pretty easily, and that’s not that hard, considering it’s pretty much everywhere in our society and has seeped into our corporations, government, and even our own families. Yes everyone has their point of view (POV) on politics and that is perfectly acceptable except for one thing, on the left it really isn’t someone’s actual POV but rather one of a replay brainwashing mentality , false argument and propaganda. Consider this growing and out of control college student loan crisis that we find ourselves in today.

Did you know that nearly 50% of all student loans are delinquent or have never made a single payment, with a large portion of the $1.35 trillion outstanding, yes, that’s correct with a “T”? a payment in more than 7 years? We were told, or the Obama administration told us, that employment is at an all-time high now at just over 4%, well then how come no one is paying their student loans, not even the small payments for stay at least? in the game?

Now, there’s a YouTube video, “PBS Takes a Look at the Student Loan Problem,” on the Credit Care Channel, that goes on and on about how Sally Mae’s collections staff is misadvising borrowers to pay off their loans before they paying rent, health insurance or house payments, and how borrowers didn’t understand that it was a bad idea to do that. Does the 25+ minute video make student loan borrowers look like victims? What? The victims are not them, we are the taxpayers in many cases, since we are guaranteeing those loans, not all of them, but a part of them.

One estimate was that taxpayers are on the hook for about $108 billion of already delinquent student loans, alas. What do I think of this? Well, I think that PBS, yes, also partly taxpayer funded, is making things worse, and their documentaries on this subject are a very leftist point of view, following Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, who basically told voters yes voted them into office there would be student loans forgiven and free college for all.

But why is PBS making these loans as victims? They are not, they owe the money, the taxpayer should NOT bail out this abuse of our system by students, leftists in politics and students. The academy is to blame too, those know-it-alls who claim they care about kids, BS who care about their pensions, tenure, and left-wing politics.

If these colleges taught “financial literacy” along with other degree requirements, maybe their students wouldn’t be such lazy consumers. Instead, the academy teaches left-wing socialism, brainwashing students. Maybe, it’s okay if the college loan debt crisis bomb bubble bursts, WITH NO taxpayer bailouts… We have a runaway academic university system funded in part by taxpayers, as professors Incumbents act with power, but they hide in the academy, never having had to do payroll or negotiate in the free market.

If you have no problem with those who have allowed this student loan debt bombshell to lead to a crisis of epic proportions while the bubble is still building, then you are NOT paying attention. Think about this.
