    Because the corporations that own the private colleges and universities that overcharge on tuition also are the ones that hand out student loans.

    They stand to lose billions of dollars in predatory profit if they can’t collect interest on student loans.

      If only there were some loopholes to close and a way to take a little cash from assets that never ever get sold…

      Yeah I see a lot of “cruelty is the point” comments here, which might not be entirely false, but if they sue it mostly means someone is pissed off about losing revenue.

            Really? Not for anti-trans laws, anti-immigrant laws, and laws that specifically target medically necessary abortions? Of course it’s the point. If looking at the laws they vote for isn’t good enough, all you have to do is talk to a few conservatives to figure out they’re hateful, cruel people.
