I feel for you Beagle. I really do, however I am going to go out on a limb here and assume this was a place like Phoenix or Davenport? Unfortunately those are a wall street cash cow to make money off of unsuspecting people. It's all about getting you in and giving you loans you can never pay.

The federal govt has opened up the door for these for-profit colleges. These wall street guys (Goldman Sachs) lobbied for less regulation on these schools, and now its a huge money making industry where wall street gets to play with all those student loans while defrauding the same government that allowed them to get all crazy to begin with.

Which is why deregulation is a bad thing. It allows for-profit schools to take advantage of people, and this is just a small chunk of what's possible with deregulation.

Here's some links, if anyone disbelieves me.

Here you go CedarSrpings. Don't confuse hyperbole with reality.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) suggested Friday that he wouldn't have voted in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights Act if he were a member of Congress at the time.

Paul, the libertarian Texas Republican who formally announced Friday that he would seek the presidency for a third time, said he thought Jim Crow laws were illegal, and warned against turning strict libertarians into demagogues.


MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews pressed Paul during a TV appearance on whether he would have voted against the '64 law, a landmark piece of legislation that took strides toward ending segregation.

"Yeah, but I wouldn't vote against getting rid of the Jim Crow laws," Paul said. He explained that he would have opposed the Civil Rights Act "because of the property rights element, not because they got rid of the Jim Crow laws."
