The student loan system was a back door welfare/redistribution of wealth program for decades.. People would apply to this program then take years of junk classes while collecting a monthly "living expense" check averaging $1,500 to $2,500.. When online college was approved for this the scam went into overdrive.. What society got out of it was millions of certified finger painters, race relations, Black language specialists and on and on of worthless degree diplomas.. Imagine if these people took trade school classes that were limited to 1 or 2 years at the same cost?? We would have more plumbers, carpenters, electricians, masons, welders, automation technicians, electronics technicians, hydraulics technicians, mechanics etc..
