“There are no bankruptcy protections associated with, uniquely, student loans. This has given rise to a predatory lending and collection mechanism where not only do the lenders make more money on defaults than on loans that remain in good stead through their collection activities but even the federal government are making more money on defaulted loans “ ~ (Alan Collinge, author of The Student Loan Scam). Student loan debt in the USA now exceeds $1 Trillion, greater than the nations total credit card debt.

About

I love political cartoons. They’re funny, sly and subversive. They question authority, draw attention to corruption and highlight social ills. A good cartoon cuts through all of the bullshit straight to the heart of an issue. The right image can be be more effective than the longest, wordiest rant. Its therefore a form that's ideally suited to our attention deficit age. They're irreverent and poke fun at our rulers, of course, but our political system is pretty much surreal comedy anyway. I don't own these images but I enjoy them. I hope you do too.
