We know that a government student loan monopoly is just right for you. After all, what could go wrong with politicians owning everything? Warning: May cause hilarity.

You might be interested in the book written by CEI’s former Journalism Fellow, Tim Carney. It’s titled “The Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money.” Available on Amazon. It won 1st place in the 2008 Templeton Enterprise Awards!
Corporate fraud is handled by the courts. If you’re talking about policies that favor corporations – thank the source of the force, namely, the government that created the policies. Obviously the companies that influence such politicians are acting irrationally, but so long as politicians are free to create laws that violate rights in order to favor certain companies, those companies will be willing to buy the politicians.
You should be careful asserting that people you dislike are closet homosexuals. People may question the psychology from which those insults spring.
Lee is such a right wing tool. I bet he would blow any conservative on capital hill.
I like most of what your saying but I can’t, after researching this one myself, agree with ya here
Marvelous video!
Great job, folks.
Slight Mozy parody?
Otherwise, I’m afraid the CEI will embarass itself and show just how much in the tank they really are for big business.
Was the CEI for or against the bank bailouts? I really don’t remember if you guys even made a video on that. The CEI, if it wants to prove itself as pro-market AND pro-consumer, needs to expose corporatism, subsidies and other forms of corporate welfare which give barriers to entry and an unfair advantage against smaller businesses in industries.
No offense, but it seems to me like every video I watch the CEI comes off as just corporate shills. I understand that a lot of policies designed to “reign in greedy bankers” or ‘greedy’ this or that are bad for the economy and consumers overall, but the CEI NEVER seems to defend consumers against corporate abuses of power, esp. when it’s clear consumers would not benefit from pro-corporate policies at certain times. And you guys don’t mention how the GOP is the party of Wall St.
And doesn’t the gov’t ALREADY subsidize banks for student loans? Or at the state level, institutions like MOHELA from my home state of Missouri? Are you proposing keeping the status quo or a return to totally free-market “student loans”? I’m a libertarian myself, so I obviously am no Marxist, but I highly doubt totally free-market student loans would work. It obviously didn’t work before. Unfortunately, I think we have to admit gov’t has some role here, and banks do not lend easily.
Isn’t the student loan ‘industry’ pretty much a creation of the federal gov’t anyway? I mean, there weren’t a whole lot of student loans and students getting college BEFORE the end of ww2, that’s for sure. Why do you think we had a GI Bill and the introduction of so many student loans in the 60s? Not that there aren’t problems, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking students loans are a free market by any sensible meaning of the term.

Lee you would never work for the government. Good thing too because you would convince people too support the government.
