[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public policy is not a Rorschach test ! ( For the maga people, a Rorschach test is a psychological test where the patient looks at an ink blot and tells the provider what they see. ) The only way out of this dystopian hell hole of idiocracy brought to us but angry losers and tech incels, is to look at data and facts and use logic.

Why has no one responded to how many 18 year olds are applying for student loans to enter expensive graduate programs in art, theater, and dance? How many 22+ year olds? How many people have taken federal loans for those programs and defaulted?

I wonder why there is no data. Why is there no budgetary impact data?

Could it be that the administration has zero capability or interest to solve real problems? Could it be that they just want to flare up culture wars while redirecting budgetary resources to grifters? Enquiring minds want to know!

What are you on about? This current proposal isn’t a new invention. It’s merely the latest iteration of multiple previous proposals.

The loan amounts could be 100k. They could be 30k. Maybe you could write a check right now for 30k but most people can’t. This problem wasn’t invented in the last year. It’s a long discussed issue. I’m sure your kids’ 529s are nice and plump. Good for you. Seriously. But that’s not a lot of people’s reality.[/quote]

You can’t be for or against something without understanding what it is and who it will impact. You need the data, especially with the current cast of idiots in charge to decide.

I would wager that the default rate for people taking on federal student loans for art, theater and dance graduate programs is far lower than the default rate for federal student loans at for profit universities in so called financially viable programs.

A lot of for profit universities would fail this viability test.  And they should get shut down.[/quote]
