Another Trillion Dollar Bubble Is On The Way

21st Century Wire says…

STUDENT LOANS: A profitable federal slush fund based in Washington DC, which is triggering skyrocketing tuition fees and rents.

The real estate loan bubble massively distorted the economy. Because of ridiculously easy money, real estate prices were inflated beyond all reason. This was great for banks who receive interest on real estate loans and great for local governments who tax real estate based on “value.” But it was disastrous for everyone else. Huge amounts of people’s income was being drained away by high real estate costs, income that could have been spent on other areas of the economy, including savings. Bad as it was, the real estate bubble is not as bad as the student debt bubble. Why? Three reasons:

1. People can choose to rent without a major drop in their standard of living. It’s hard to choose not to receive education or professional training.
