Hillary’s emails reveal lucrative ties to for-profit colleges

[UglyGreed]

It is difficult to get a man or a women to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

Student loan debt continues to be one of the largest economic issues plaguing the U.S., with the total amount topping $1.3 trillion. Hillary Clinton’s higher education policy touts debt-free degrees for underprivileged students. But is she being genuine in her efforts to address the issue?

While Hillary loves to rail against shady for-profit colleges on the campaign trail, she does have some financial ties to them that are likely to shape whether or not she holds them accountable for ripping students off.

It was recently revealed through Hillary’s emails that during her first year as Secretary of State she insisted that Laureate Education be included in the guest list for an education policy dinner hosted at the U.S. Department of State.

9. I think they're all predatory

It is a scam industry that only exists because of student access to government loans or veteran's benefits. They will take anybody who can fog a mirror until their borrowed money runs out, then their students are left with near worthless credits that won't transfer to legitimate colleges or near worthless degrees, and with debt that can never been discharged even in bankruptcy.

3. It would explain her stance on means-testing tuition

Since it would still mean those for-profits kept their high rates without any loss.

5. She is in so

deep with so many monetary connections how can anyone believe she is not "on the take"

6. I looked at her plan and said oh those for profit predatory schools will be happy.

4. We have a choice

One of our candidates is not for sale.

7. Post After Post With Prevarication After Prevarication ...

examples and more examples of Clinton's questionable behavior; changing positions, engaging in lucrative deals, and her supporters refuse to see any problems. It might resemble the Tea Party, but sadly it's not.

Apparently when you are for one candidate dogma trumps reason; emotion hides fact.

8. This is what frustrates

me the most....
